    A. I'm all about switching up my snacks and choosing foods that have lots of fiber and protein, which help keep me feeling full. These are some of my faves, but get inspired and invent some combos of your own.

    1. CINNAMON-APPLE COTTAGE CHEESE

    Zazzle up a ½-cup serving of plain fat-free cottage cheese with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drop of vanilla extract, and a chopped apple. This also works great as a quickie breakfast.

    2. LIGHT STRING CHEESE + ALMONDS

    Weight Watchers has an amazing smoked string cheese with only 50 calories per stick. It's great paired with a handful of unsalted almonds (15 is the perfect amount).

    3. LEAN TURKEY SLICES + PICKLES

    Wrap 4 ounces of deli-sliced turkey breast around four pickle spears. Filling and low in calories.
