Default Some of My Favorite Things To Snack On...

I forgot to mention some of my favorite things to eat have low points (for anyone doing weight watchers) or if you want to cut down on calories, etc.

I LOVE "beef" hot dogs which are big in the point range. However, an excellent alternative to an 8 point hot dog is:

Hebrew National Reduced Fat (Beef) Franks. It sounds nasty, but....surprisingly these are awesome and taste like the regular ones, EXCEPT they are only 3 points versus 8 or 9 for a regular one! Trust me, if these tasted crappy I would tell you folks.

Vegetarian Baked Beans - 3 points for 1/2 cup...These go a long way. One would think 1/2 cup is not much, but, it is and satisfying no more, no less.

I am a MAJOR Cheese-It FREAAAK I absolutely LOVE these and the reduced-fat cheese-its are awesome...Every night I have to have these while watching the boob tube...(as in TV) not boobs on TV...However, I bet there are no calories in watching the real ones *ahem* Anyway, back to the cheese-its... You can have 29 cheese-its for 4 points. That may sound like a lot of points to use..BUT...They are VERY satisfying and do the trick for your snacking fetish...Matter of fact, I'm eating them now as i'm typing this. I can't tell you how many boxes I go through in a month. These totally satisfy me big-time.

If you LOVE popcorn, go for the "Homestyle" Pop Secret (94% fat free) and it's only 3 points per bag and it's SOOOO damn good...Not like the other fat free popcorns, amazingly good.

Reduced-fat Fig Newtons: Only 2 points for both!

I am not a huge water drinker. Never was and usually have to force myself to drink it. But, I LOVE lemon Crystal Light and live off that. I also love to drink Diet Polar Raspberry-Lime tonic (soda) and add a wedge of fresh lime or a key lime. That is my drink of choice and I'm addicted.
