Eat More Protein For Snacks

The best diet snack is protein. It will satisfy your hunger for a lot longer than carbs. A little peanut butter spread in a stalk of celery is great. A hard boiled egg is another great choice. If you don't like it plain, make a little egg salad out of one. Beef jerky with a little carrot or celery on the side is a satisfying snack.

Watch your calories, and have a protein snack about every 2 1/2 hours to keep from getting too hungry. Try a cup of sugar free hot chocolate and a small amount of cheese for protein.

Saving Money on Diet Snacks

Instead of buying the expensive pre-packaged diet snacks, I buy a large bag of good diet snacks and I measure the serving myself ahead of time and I put them in ziplock baggies. That way, I can just get them out and eat them or take them with me. Buying them by the big bag is much cheaper.
