What do you snack on?

So the post below about getting yelled at by Dr for weight gain has me curious as to what everyone else is snacking on?
I have been eating tons of fruit and probably should cut back....even though it tastes sooooo good right now!

Re: What do you snack on?
Anything from fruit to salt and vinegar chips (more of a craving with that one).

peanut butter on a slice of whole wheat bread and a piece of fruit. I don't really do snacks though.. I just eat breakfast and then a second breakfast (1st one might be cereal and then I eat a high protein breakfast a couple of hours later). Lunch is a pb sandwich with fruit and dinner is chicken with veggies. That's IF my husband doesn't decide to come home with take out.. then I am really hosed b/c I cannot look at pizza and not eat it.
At least for lent I gave up fast food, pork and red meat. It eliminates a lot of the 'bad foods' that I ate.. bacon, sausage, hamburgers, tacos..
My doctor and I are both hoping that my weight gain can stay the same for the next six weeks. Wish me luck!
Generally fruit.....sometimes a yogurt or string cheese. I wouldn't encourage cutting back on fruit as a snack. We are supposed to be gaining weight...we are growing a human inside of us, and fruit is giving you and your baby tons of vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients.
It upsets me that a doctor would suggest to someone to cut back on fruit as a snack.
everything... cereal is my favorite right now though
let's see... what else
raw hot dogs, flame i know
wheat thins
cookies
bagels
basically whatever i have around the house, but i've been keeping it decent when i buy stuff at the store...
No flame here...to each their own...but when you say raw, do you really mean uncooked hot dog??? Never heard of that before!
The one thing I cannot give up is fruit. I LOVE IT! Other things I snack on include:
Almonds, raw cashews, raisins, prunes, popcorn, sunflower seeds, carrots, sugar snap peas, popsicles/ice cream
Oh, and I sometimes get a craving for cinnamon candy and the latest has been for Cadbury eggs (bad, I know), but this doesn't happen often.
I have discovered Think Thin. https://www.thinkproducts.com/2011/
Sugar free, gluten free, and most of them are high in protein! They are great for in between meals, or even for a busy day the meal! (Especially the 20g protein bars). Mind you it can be a hit and miss with flavor. I tried to eat the white chocolate raspberry today and I hated it.
Dried fruit too, bought some from Trader Joes and its YUMMY!
YES... like straight from the open package... turkey dogs if that makes it any better, not beef hot dogs. those taste gross raw.
don't know why, it's a weird pregnancy thing for me... i've done it with each baby lol
Ummmm, Thin Mints, we are on our 5th box :x and Gushers.
In all fairness though I also do strawberries, apples, bananas and blackberries. It's not as bad as it sounds.

I crave fruit like crazy.
Really, I haven't been as snacky the last month or two as I was at the beginning of pregnancy. I keep a few granola bars in my purse in case of one of those crazy moments where I go from totally fine to STARVING and I'm out and about.
I have been known to have a predinner PB&J though
