I was more or less asking because if your spaghetti was 90% carbs, that's why you're getting hungry again so soon. You should aim closer to 40-60% carbs 20-30% protein, and 10-30% fat depending on how your body responds. Most low-fat diets don't work very well, if at all.

I was also wondering about fruit snacks...good chance they're probably terrible for you but does any one know if there are some healthy ones out there?

Most fruits are good. Try not to eat too many...maybe 2 to 4 servings a day. Remember that they're mostly sugar, water, nutrients, and fibre. Vegetables, on the other hand, are practically a free-for-all, as they have a really high water content and a much higher variety of vitamins and minerals. Try to eat a variety of colours of both fruits and veggies.
Good choices for fruits are berries, apples, bananas, oranges, grapes.... This is partly because of their availability and convenience. Try to eat seasonally and locally. Go organic if you can.
