Good snacks for any diet?

I am looking for good and easy snack ideas for mid morning and between lunch and dinner?

I am trying to drop a few pounds but really can't eat less.

Thanks.

Low fat cottage cheese is excellent for you - it's practically pure protein. I eat it on rye crisps or on rice cakes with a little bit of salt and pepper.

Any kind of fruit or vegetable is great.

low fat yogurt - but watch sugar content. Some say low fat but are then loaded with carbohydrates.

Peanut butter

Whole grain stone ground crackers or toast with hummus

celery w/ peanut butter

low glycemic fruits like apples, berries, cherries.

protein bars with mostly whey protein.

Cottage cheese

Greek yogurt (has very little sugar compared to reg. yogurt)

I eat those Breakstone cottage cheese doubles - they have cottage cheese on one side and fruit on the other.

Sliced hardboiled eggs with raw spinach leaves (plus low fat dressing). Or tuna (packed in water) over mixed greens.

Mixed bean salad.

Hummus spread with pita triangles (you can mix roasted red peppers in with the hummus in a blender).
