Ok my biggest problem is giving up on a nighttime snack. I CRAVE salty foods at night. What I wouldn't give for a BIG bag of zesty cheese Doritos! I swear to God I could sit down every night and eat a bag of chips. I haven't done that in sooo long, but I think about it every single night. I lick all the salty spices of and then munch the chips....(aaaaah!)

Ok, so what kinds of "good" treats to you guys have at night? I like to eat trail mix, the kind with the pieces of dried fruit in it. I have also treated myself to pretzels, low fat of course. I am not satisfied with fruit...and ice cream is not my thing. Looking for some new ideas--preferably crunchy and salty! LOL

Take care everyone!

Here's a pretty good list of 100 snacks under 100 calories.

Pork Rinds are a great solution, especially if you're on Atkins...I'm not on atkins...but I love them anyway!

Right now, It's after midnight And I'm munching on Beef jerky..lol
I'm on the atkins and I'm PMSing so what the heck..lol I also have my peanubutter cups here too. (atkins) this is sooooo good!
Anyway I also like sugar free jello with my whipped cream. I just add the fake sugar in the cream and oh my it's good.
But For me I like salty too so Beef jerky does the trick....lol Theres lots out there but u have to look and see the sugar gm's and the carbs. This one is really low. I got the Slim jim's jerky.
Good luck!

I'm on a low sodium diet so it makes it harder.

I found that I could pop 1/4 cup of popcorn kernals in a brown paper lunch bag in the microwave. No oil and no salt.

Then I sprinkle a litle tabasco on the popcorn in a bowl and I'm good to go.

It's an aquired taste, but for me I like it.
