I do string cheese, hot coco with light whipped cream (but it has carbs so I track that and figure it in as a treat), Greek yogurt, if I need something crunchy I will have HALF of a snack (100 cal) pack of pretzels, toast or crackers with cheese.

My snack go-tos are:

Light and Fit Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of sliced almonds to give it some heft

Boar's head deli turkey (2 oz) with a slice of pepperjack cheese

Laughing Cow light cheese wedge with 3 34 degree crackers

Tuna fish made with light mayo and diced onion (I usually have this in the fridge)

Kay's Naturals jalapeño honey mustard twists (from amazon)

A link of chicken sausage (from Trader Joe's or Costco) - I aim for 110 calories per link (some have close to 200)

Whatever is leftover from dinner (salmon, chicken, ground turkey, etc.)

A one ounce chunk of cheese

I have found that I can eat very large portions of chips/crackers/popcorn...so they are not good snacks for me.  When I stick to my plan and eat dense protein, I am full with 3 oz of food.  

For me, the key is having a digital scale in my kitchen and weighing out my portions.  Even at over a year out, I am not good at estimating ounces of food.

You're right, weighing portions is critical. Once you start eyeballing, your portion sizes get twice as big.

I'm eating my snack right now:  turkey pepperoni and a Babybel light.  It's 120 calories and 15 grams of protein.  Plus it's cheese and pepperoni. 

Very few things have no carbs but I stay pretty low for the most part. Fruit, milk, oats I rarely worry too much about... lots of bang for the buck as long as there is moderation.

Cheese, cold cut (low sodium, aim for nitrate free) roll-up I like to do this with them: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2014/06/5-thi ngs-to-do-with-cold-cuts.html

Greek yogurt dip (savory or sweet) with apples (powdered peanut butter in yogurt is yummy) or cucumbers  http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-do zen-protein-packed-and-portable.html

are probably my biggest go-to's.

Thanks for the ideas. I am taking out my little notebook and writing them down! 

Some of my go to snack are:  Jack Link's teriyaki flavored jerky, 1/2 Quest bar, Dannon Lite Greek yogurt, and I love these egg muffins:

that sounds so delish! I am printing it out now! Thanks

My go tos include:

• apples and peanut butter (I usually use Jif Whipped PB, sometimes PB2, but my NUT has recommended using regular old PB)
• turkey pepperoni (put it on a paper towel and nuke it for 30 seconds until crispy)
• cheese - light string cheese, Babybel Light, Laughing Cow Light Wedges (I especially love to eat a Laughing Cow Light with a .5-1oz of Fiber Gourmet Thinables - again my NUT tells me to just eat some damned crackers, SOME carbs are ok
• Greek Yogurt
• Boar's Head Black Forest Ham
• roast chick peas or pumpkin seeds

I add hemp seeds to my yogurts for extra protein.
