Super duper odd one... Baby food. The pouch type for big babies and young toddlers. They are like low calorie, low sugar,low portion smoothies that are great on the go. When I'm at home for snacks I like fruit and veggie plates or better cooked kobocha pumpkin. But on the go I buy baby foods of those things. What you will actually like is trial and erorr! Some are gross some are delectable!

Different strokes for different folks. The idea of eating baby food makes me gag. It's up there with dog food and cat food!! Yuck.

There's a few companies making the pouch smoothies in adult flavors.

The concept of "adult flavors" is a little scary . . . !

But, yeah. And I do like the applesauce pouches for a small quick-ish carb, too.

And in between baby and adult, there are some yogurt/fruit pouches aimed at the school-lunch market, usually some kind of yogurt/fruit thing, that are adult-friendly (if - at least for my taste - one avoids the over-sugared ones: I prefer all fruit for sweetness with the yogurt.) These may be too small a portion for high TDEE folks, though.

Think Chocolate/coffee not Bacardi/red wine.

Some of them were really good, some were really bad

I love the Snapea crisps too, plus almonds in all flavors.

Some company (maybe Clif?) had a savory energy pack that I tried at a marathon expo a while ago. It was like . . . tomato and basil? I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was revolting.

I have 2 boxes of afternoon snacks at my desk and they are so awesome! Nabisco has a line called Good Thins that have lots of different flavors. The one I'm obsessed with right now is the Sweet Potato but the Corn Sea Salt is pretty good too. You can have between 28-41 chips per 130 (est) serving. Bang for your calorie buck I say!

For sweet, I discovered the Kashi Dark Chocolate Coconut Bar. Kashi can be hit or miss for me but the chocolate is so creamy. It's an actual layer of soft chocolate spread over the grains that has an excellent flavor and decent after taste. Only 120 cal.

These are probably better cold but maybe not necessary. Sargento Balanced Breaks, each container has some cheese bits, some nuts, and dried cranberries. There are different "flavored" ones, different cheese, nuts, etc.
