WW Tips for Snackers

I found this "Discover Your Snack Personality" on the WW Web site. So
many people lately have been writing about problems with snacking, I
took the liberty to copy/paste the article here. Here's hoping you
find something that works for you.
======
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 prepa
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.

Weigh****chers.com Community Board Snack Suggestions
Here's what some Weigh****chers.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."
