You're hungry. Tired. Craving. You're looking for a snack that will quickly squash your urge to
munch. The big question is: What will truly satisfy your hunger?

Your friend swears by graham crackers spread with jelly but that doesn't mean that they'll do it
for you. In fact, all that sugar may just make some people hungrier. So before you reach for a
snack, look over our snacking personalities below. Pinpoint the type of food you're truly craving
on the first try and you won't end up tasting everything in your kitchen cabinets.

Snacking Personalities 101

I want A LOT If you're a volume eater, think small: Mini chocolates (like mini M&M's), bite-size
cookies or small cheese-flavored crackers (such as Pepperidge Farm Goldfish). Low calorie items
are key as well. Try light popcorn, baby carrots and black bean dip, or flavored rice cakes.

In need of a quick energy boost High sugar foods are your best bet. Go for juice, dried fruit,
jelly beans, licorice, or even chocolate.

I need a longer-lasting snack You can gobble down a candy bar in seconds but an ice pop, hard
candies or frozen grapes take longer to eat. As an alternative, a piping hot cappuccino or
steaming mug of hot chocolate can also do the trick.

Hold me over for hours A lollipop may take a while to eat but its high sugar dose can be used up
in a flash. High fiber snacks that contain some protein and fat can stave off hunger for the long
haul. Great options include whole grain crackers and light cheese, peanut butter and apple slices,
or a small handful of nuts and dried fruit.

Give me lots to munch Can't give up your nightly TV-watching snack habit? Try healthy, lower
calorie items like pepper strips, grape tomatoes, crudités and salsa, light microwave popcorn or
roasted chickpeas.

Just keep my hands busy When emotional eating kicks in and a non-food activity like a walk just
won't cut it, opt for snacks that take some time to prepare: peanuts in the shell, fruit you have
to peel (try a whole pineapple!), or a sundae made with yogurt, chopped fruit and cereal. By the
time you're done prepping and eating them, your emotions may well be on the upswing.

WeightWatchers.com Community Board Snack Suggestions Here's what some WeightWatchers.com users say
best nips their snack cravings in the bud.

Salty Snacks GeniSoy Soy Crisps: "Great potato chip alternative."

Laughing Cow Cheese and fat-free crackers: "Creamy and crunchy."

Mozzarella cheese rolled in a corn tortilla: "Great mini meal - pan 'fry' it and dip into salsa."

Baked Doritos: "Taste like the real deal."

Celery and fat-free or low fat onion dip: "Celery is the perfect dipping alternative to chips
with dip."

Sweet Snacks Diet hot chocolate (20 calories or less): "A sweet freebie."

Sugar-free Jell-O with lite Cool Whip: "Can't tell the difference from the real thing."

Just 2 POINTS! bars: "The caramel one tastes just like a candy bar."

Fresh strawberries topped with fat-free Cool Whip: "Healthy with a sweet twist."

TasteTations sucking candies: "Long lasting sweetness and you get 3 for just 1 POINTS®.

Thanks PR. I'll have to refer to this message when I get those snack cravings. So far so good. I've
been filling up on water the last two evenings. I'm going to float away again tonight!

since I eat lots of "mini meals" I would also say all. I eat a "regular"
meal at most once a day and usually two times in three days. I accepted
that I have this as an eating pattern so it is much easier for me now, Lee
