Rice crackers always trick me into thinking that they might taste good. It invariably tastes like rice with some flavor. Why would you fool me, amerikajinda? Why?

Have wasabi peas been mentioned? Because I could eat those until I die. Okay, they are a little high in sugar, but if you're watching out for salt and fat, they're the way to go.

SNACK FOODS:

- Unsalted Unroasted Almonds (good fat)
- Fruit (although by itself its just carbs really - ideally mix with protein)
- Protein Bars
- Raw Veggies
- Yogurt (protein/carb/fat)
- Cottage Cheese (protein or protein/carb if you get the tasty ones with pineapple)

Really the issue with snack food is that they never have any protein (with the exception of jerky). Soy protein is kind of BS, but I won't get into that here. If you want to stay in shape and not gain fat, it is ideal to match your snacks/meals like this: Protein/Carbs or Protein/Fat. This minimizes fat storage. Combining fat/carbs without protein is what nearly 100% of snack foods do. Not good.

If you do not care about staying super lean, then the way to go is almonds/fruits/veggies. If you want to eat as healthy as possible and at the same time keep any potential fat off, it is important to mix a healthy protein with your side snacks. This is not easy at all. I resort to bringing cooked chicken / turkey / cottage cheese to the office and keeping it in the fridge. A healthy snack food that had real protein in it (i.e. not soy and not a engineered protein bar) that was easily available would be a godsend.

slice up dill pickles. 1 calorie a slice, i kid you not. careful with things like granola bars as they often times have high fructose corn syrup and enriched flour 'n stuff.

I often snack on a bowl of grapes and almonds. Low-fat yoghurt is also good, if you watch the sugar levels.

Whole Foods bison jerky. Best jerky you'll ever taste, healthy, and filling.

Do you have access to a Trader Joe's? They have some interesting flavored nut varieties there that I use as snack food. My favorites are roasted pecans, thai lime flavored cashews, and wasabi flavored almonds.

From a typical grocery store I go with roasted in the shell peanuts, unsalted popcorn, and beef jerky.
