Trail mix without chocolate if you can control your portion size.

I've found this great fig bar at my grocery store in the cheese department. It is made up of figs and nuts. It is pressed together and cut into a wedge like cheese. Along the same lines, whole wheat fig cookies.

Cereal w/ yogurt bites in it. I like Special K and All Bran. I eat them the regular way or just dry.

For meals, try some of the veggie "chicken" nuggets or patties. They have way fewer calories than the real thing, taste good, and cook quickly.

Slide pieces of fruit onto the skewer and design your own kabob by putting as much or as little of whatever fruit you want! Do this until the stick is almost covered from end to end.
Hold your kabob at the ends and roll it in the yogurt, so the fruit gets covered. Then roll it in the coconut.

Apple slices with peanut butter. Celery with low fat cream cheese (soft spread comes in several flavors, too like strawberrry or chives, etc.) Add some raisins or craisins for ants on a log. Maybe some nuts such as walnuts, pecans or almonds. Try making dip using tofu instead of sour cream for your vegetables.

actually apples and peanut butter are great. when you shop you should just add fruits and veggies... or meats and poultry.... when you buy boxed items (prepared foods like mac and cheese) you need to watch the carb intake, fat intake, and sugar intake... try to cook with olive oil instead of alternatives that have trans fats in them. try a whole wheat bagel with p.b. and a banana. skim milk, and plenty of water. Granola is great esp with yogurt (low fat helps try to stay away from sugar substitutes they are actually worse for you!) good luck
