Low Point Salty Snacks on WW?
I am on WW, am virtually out of points for the day but am DYING for something salty. I usually break into a bag of chips or cheez-its at night, but no can do.
What low point salty snacks do you like?

i don't know how many pts. these are but i like individual bags of popchips..they are 100 calories or so each..i also like a mini baby belle cheese or laughing cow cheese. they are pretty low in pts. another salty favorite are cold mini pickles. or baby carrots dipped in hummus or Bolthouse Farms ranch dressing.

Re: Low Point Salty Snacks on WW?
Microwave popcorn - You can add different seasonings/add ins (herbs, spices, even mini chocolate chips or something for a sweet/salty vibe) to suit your taste and it's a high volume food for low points.
I also agree that pickles can be a low point salt fix, but if you are watching your sodium, you may not want to overindulge in those.
I like the special K cracker chips - they have all different flavors (sour cream and onion, southwest ranch, sea salt). I think you get something like 27 chips for 3 points, and they are good dipped in salsa, if you like chips and dip. Sometimes I just like them plain if I am looking for something to nibble on with a glass of wine.
Almonds or other nuts -- they can be pointy, but if you measure/weigh out your portion to avoid points overload, they are a healthy snack and very filling. I like some of the flavored almonds, like wasabi or lime/chili.
I also love cheese (and I agree with the PP that the mini baby bell lites are good). You could also try a spreadable cheese (like the light garlic and herb Allouette or laughing cow wedges) spread on cucumber rounds or on celery sticks.
If you really want more of a snack food feel - try goldfish crackers! My DS is 4, so we usually have them in the house, and they are actually pretty points-friendly and you get a good volume for the points. I know these types of foods are not that filling, but if you are craving it, I would just allow yourself a small portion of what you want (even if it's cheese its or whatever) and then pair it with a piece of fruit to bulk it up/cut into your hunger.
I believe you really have to eat what you want (of course, in control/moderation) to make WW work in the long-term.

Re: Low Point Salty Snacks on WW?
Thanks!!!!!!!
I am going to try all of these! I didn't even think of pickles! Duh!
Im such a salty snack addict and actually have low blood pressure and on Drs orders I am to UP my salt intake!
I have discovered cucumbers with lots of salt, when I am out of points, totally satisfies the crunchy/salt craving for 0 points!!!!
