after that post below, i was feeling a little despair over food choices and contemplating trying to commune with nature by only eating grass for the next week but luckily, forbes.com provided me with a list of "Waistline-Friendly Snacks" that mostly don't sound too icky.
Crispy Green Crispy Fruit
last year it was pineapples, now its asian pears. that's the latest addition to crispy green's line of freeze-dried snacks, which have no added sugar, preservatives or colour. each serving has less than 39 calories.

think5 Bar
it's hard to go wrong with a snack that serves up five cups of fruits and vegetables--meeting u.s. department of agriculture's recommended daily allowance. thinkproducts' think5 bar contains spinach, watercress and a blend of broccoli, carrots and other vegetables, but pops with the taste of cranberry. try it in red berry or chocolate red berry.

Crum Creek Mills Soy Almond Biscuties
(sidenote: sorry... i'm not sure i can eat anything called a "biscutie" and not think it was possibly intended for a dog.)
instead of a cooke, try grabbing a few crum creek mills soy almond biscuties. full of nuts, raisins and spices, this snack packs 5 grams of protein in each serving--fourcookies--and contains no added fat or salt.

EatSmart Potato Chips
trans-fat free, these chips have 30% less fat than regual potato chips and provide 3 grams of fiber per serving. try the lightly salted, french onion or sweet barbecue varieties.

Jack Link's 50-Calorie Portion-Control Multi-Pack
(this one also reminds me of a doggie treat... and, have you ever seen so many hyphens in one phrase???)
you've heard of the 100-calorie snack pack, but what about the 50-calorie version? jack link's is now offering portion-control package sizes of protein-filled products, including original jerky, teriyaki nuggets and prime rib tender cuts. try the prime rib tenders, which contain two grams of carbohydrates, six grams of protein and no trans fats.

Thanks for the post. Nuts are excellent sources of protein, minerals, "good" monounsaturated fats and other nutrients, and they're good for the heart.
