Ok, so one of our worst habits (my fiance and I) is that we watch TV in bed. We have 5 teenagers who all stay up later than we do and watch 'kid' shows...we just like the unwinding time together watching something we want. My problem...I feel like I need a snack sometimes. I have avoided it most days...but when you want to snack (at a month out) what can I eat. Whats grab n go thats healthy at a month out. Carrot sticks or celery with PB are not an option yet...any ideas? I know most of you will say, just say no...but once in a while saying yes isn't a fail...I just want to be better about it. No more bags of chips, popcorn, ice cream or junk food...but what??? (insert whine here...lol)

A 100 cal pack of cheese, greek yogurt, a mug of hot tea, SF Jello or pudding, apple sauce. I am generally not a late-night snacker but those are a few I could think of off the top of my head. On the nights you don't want to snack, I suggest brushing your teeth before you veg and watch TV. I find it sends the message to my brain that I am done with food (plus it makes anything taste terrible).

Good luck in your search!

I like watermelon....only 50 calories a cup and 11 carbs. Probably something better with less carbs but this is what I snack on when I want something sweet.

Sugar free pudding is a good suggestion! Especially when you crave chocolate.

Sugar free hot chocolate or Apple cider are my fav bedtime snacks. It's less sit up time for me to digest when I'm getting sleepy and the warmth help me sleep. Low cal versions.
