All the Medifasts Meals are Meals...
The Fast Soups, Medifast crackers, Medifast Soy Crisps, etc. are snacks.
SF Jello, pickles, celery, etc are regular snacks.
Basically, if you are doing the 5 + 1 plan, you can have 5 Medifast meals (oatmeal, shakes, bars, hot drinks, cold drinks, pudding, chili, soups, etc). You would also have one lean and green meal.
In addition to the 5 + 1, you can have ONE snack, whether it's a MF snack (crackers, fast soup, soy crisps) or a regular snack (sf jello, pickles, celery, etc). The MF snacks should not be used in place of a MF meal!
I'm sorry, I don't know anything about SF popcicles, but if they're o cal, o carb, o fat, I'd treat them as I do crystal light...
Yell if I didn't answer your questions well enough...I'll try again! Also, if you're having trouble and feel REALLY hungry...I'd have an extra shake before anything else (especially if you have a really long or strenuous day), it's way better than going off plan.
I'm also not shy about adding a celery stick when I need the crunch. I just try to stay as close to the plan as possible. I don't usually snack anymore, I stopped about week 2. Now, I have to set an alarm to remind myself to eat!
Good luck!
