RE: Get your hands off those cookies!
A really common option that I often turn to is dried fruit and nuts.
I was just about to say the same. I don't snack too much, but if I do it's gonna be nuts that I'm eating, because they have a lot of energy (500-600 calories/100g) and a balanced amount of carbs, protein and good fats, so they actually help with hunger. I try to eat just plain nuts without any spices, especially salt, but sometimes I like something with a bit of flavor either with dried fruit in the mixture or honey frost on the nuts.
Yeah, nuts are pretty calorie intensive...but not loaded with bad shit.
I don't really like plain peanuts that much, but the ones in the store are usually WAY too salty, so I actually get low sea salt ones and mix them with the unsalted ones.
I sometimes get like "trail mix", but often here a lot of them have chocolate and such. There's like only one I think at the local store that doesn't. Not like I don't like chocolate though. :P But if I do get it, I put in more peanuts, sometimes extra fruit, and maybe honey nut oats or Rice Chex. At least with doing that, the healthiness is slightly raised.
