Apple with peanut butter or celery stuffed with peanut butter or cream cheese are great snacks. Find raw vegetables that you like. Munch on a carrot or jicama which is my current favorite.
Slicing vegetables and cooking them in the oven are filling and a healthy form of snacking. I use my toaster oven a lot this time of year.

I did quite well today, stuck to under 1,200 calories and reached 9,300 on my pedometer. I would like to go for a walk but it's much too hot.
