What's a good, healthy snack? I really need to start eating better, I have cut out pop/energy drinks, eat less overall and workout 4-5 times a week but I'm not losing weight as fast as I would like and think it's pretty much due to that

Go nuts!! Literally. Nuts rock. I also get raisins but I don't eat many of them. I am going to add marion berries (blackberries basically) soon. There is a veggy/fruit stand that sells them near here that doesn't have pesticides on em (when I tried buying em at the store they always tasted like chemicles). I tried a friends today that they got from the fruit stand and they tasted like the ones I picked as a kid (so yum).

Carrots as mentioned above, and apple slices are good as well. Celery as well can be good (with just a bit of peanut butter on it or even almond butter). I've been doing pistachios as well, they are expensive but if you buy the bags of pistachoes still in the shell from amazon you can get 3 pounds for 16$, so just about $5 a pound which is a really really low price (it's 9.99 a pound at safeway).

Pickles are high in sodum, but make a good snack as well. Also there are a bunch of very yummy soups that you can quickly heat up for a snack. I like to make my own with my insta-pot. Lets you quickly make a great broth using a bit of beef + mushrooms and veggies (fresh corn is really good in there, a few carrots etc). You can toss in a few pork or chicken pot stickers as well to make it more filling if you want.
