Smart Snack Choices if You're Dieting:

1. Chewy granola bars. Look for ones made with real nuts or whole grains, under 140 calories, with at least 4 grams of fiber and 5g of protein.

2. Greek yogurt. It's strained, which makes it fluffy and more filling with less fat and calories - and calcium can help you lose weight. Sweeten with fruit, if you want.

3. Oatmeal. It's more filling than dry cereal with the same calories and fiber.

4. Soy chips. A high-fiber, low-fat snack that's a significant source of soy protein, which helps facilitate weight loss.

5. Frozen juice bars. Sweet and tangy and generally low on calories.

6. Licorice. May help reduce body fat and appetite.
