For me it has always been baby carrots. I could eat bags and bags of them- they have tons of Vitamin A (good for your eyes) and lots of good fiber. They also keep you full which is handy when you're having one of those "always hungry" days.
I say pick a safety food. One that is low in calories, rich in the good stuff, and keeps you full. If I have learned one thing in all my studies it's finding foods that you like and that keep you full, while at the same time giving you some good nutrients and fiber. Just so that we're all on the same page, Fiber is an amazing thing. It helps to regulate your digestive system by basically pushing out everything in your intestines. Picture one of those commercials for drain clogs. The cleaning solution you pour down the drain is the fiber and as it makes its way through your intestines it pushes out things in it's path. Regulating your bowl movements and getting all that junk out of there. You really don't need those expensive yogurts and pills to regulate your digestive system- Just eat your FIBER!!
So what are some good choices for that go- to snack:
Carrots/Celery
Apples
Shredded Wheat
Low Fat yogurt (try to stay as natural as you can here)
Steamed veggies (you can buy them frozen in the steamer bags)
Grapes (try freezing them in the summer for a cold treat)
There are tons of others out there- try expanding your horizons, eat some different stuff! Just try to go for low cal, low fat options and heck while your at it pack in that fiber baby!
