Need low calorie snack ideas

I would greatly appreciate your ideas for low calorie snacks.  I try to limit my caloric intake to 1200 a day, so I oftentimes find my self hungry throughout the day.  Some have told me to try water, that does not work for me.  It doesn't make me full at all, even when I drink it before I eat. Also have been told to brush my teeth, but that works for about 15 mins. I'm getting sick of yogurt, grapes, carrots, celery, apples. Please help. I'm starving as I type this and all i can think to do is pig out on some chips and dip. Yum.

I really started with healthy eating and exercise last july, so in this last year I would say I've lost about 15lbs.

Congrats on your baby. That's a happy reason for weight gain :)


I recently read somewhere that in order to maintain your current weight you should multiply said weight by 10 to get the number of calories you need to consume daily.
