SNACKS!... Low cal per 100g only please.

It literally takes me an hour to work though 200 calories of pistachios. If they come already shelled and you stuff handfuls in your face, then sure, that's going to be a ton of calories. But for the amount of effort and the time it takes to lazily shell and snack through a couple of handfuls, it's a perfect snack for me. But then again, I savor my food. I don't wolf things down...
Ok.
You should see me with my 100 cal pack of cashew pieces, picking little shards out of the packet and eating them one by one
Nuts are the best and also the worst! 1 -
I love sardines with mustard.1

Not weird at all. I love sardines with mustard.1 -
I only really started to lose weight when I gave up snacks. I know it sounds hard. Yes, you will feel hungry but use that feeling in a positive way to drive you to keep going. Believe me. I’ve been fat all my life and have now lost 30kgs and kept it off for 4 years. Snacking actually makes me hungrier and I was eating the same calories in snacks as in my regular meals. If there is one piece of advice I could give- you don’t need snacks!6

100 g of cantelope = 34 calories!1

Peanut M&M's are 12 calories per piece, so you can have 8.1

Only eating "Low calorie / 100 grams" is like saying you only eat food that is a certain colour.
Food weight has no bearing on satiation.
100 grams of lettuce would do nothing to fuel your exercise burns, whereas 100 grams of avocado would be awesome, or even 25 grams of M&Ms.
Not trying to have a dig at you. Just trying to tell you about "calorie dense food" which can be very satiating.
I'm concerned you might not be eating enough with this approach to food.
Kind regards.6 -
Gherkins and pickled onions around 30 cal per 100g depending on brand. For me they have the added benefit of making me feel relatively full and instantly removing food cravings, especially sweets/chocolate cravings.2

Lol. How is everyone finding it so difficult to understand what the guy is asking for??
He doesn't intend to eat 100g of anything. He is looking for food which has low calories per 100g. As in blueberries which have 50cals per 100gr as opposed to nuts which have 600cal per 100g.
You know how the calories on food labels are given for 100g of the food? Well he's looking for low calories food. He said per 100g because otherwise someone might have offered 3grams of chocolate which is low calorie per 3g but very high per 100g.
It is such a simple question and so many people here are finding it impossible to comprehend.
Unbelievable.
He doesn't intend to eat 100g lettuce. But for the same calories as 100g avocado he could eat 1kg lettuce. That's the whole point.
Jeez.7 -
Also @TerryMyfitbitsnbobs you should know most people around these forums have no idea how to compare two things. You know how when you compare two things quantitatively you need to set another property of the things to be the equal if the comparison is to make sense?
One example is if food has high calories. Usually it is implied that it is the equal weight of food. Like per 100g. If you don't set the amount any comparisons and numbers of calories would be meaningless.
Or the price of petrol. If you don't imply "per 1 litre" or per 1 barrel (i.e. per equal volume) then any price comparisons would have no meaning. You can't say the petrol is cheaper in Europe than US because half litre of petrol in Europe is cheaper than 1 litre in US.
Now.
Same things is with muscle and fat. When the weight of the two tissues are compared it is implied that equal volumes of them are compared. Otherwise comparison of its weight or calories or number of cells is meaningless. But people here don't get that for some reason. They say "1kg is 1kg" if anyone says that muscle weighs more than fat. Lol.
Like saying lettuce is not lower in calories than chocolate because 1 calorie of lettuce is 1 calorie of chocolate.
Haha.
So on a second thought I'm not surprised how this thread came down.
Watch the woos come now. I'm outta here.
Good luck.4 -
Cottage cheese cups. 4% milk fat please. 110 calories and very satiating.1

I use something called "kesam" which is a high protein dairy product - like a very thick greek yoghurt. Similar to "quark" I think. It's 74 kcal and 12 grams of protein per 100 grams. Just add some berries or sweetener, and it's a great snack.
I often make sticks of carrots (41 kcal/100g) and make a dip with kesam and dipmix with it - delish. It feels fattier than hummus, which is a little boring to me.
And low calorie jello is great. You can make it with gelatine and sugar free juice and it comes in at about
30 kcal/100g.
I recently found a recipe for vanilla pudding with egg white, vanilla protein and greek yoghurt at 100kcal/100g which I am going to try

HOORAY!!!
At last, somebody with sense.
I'd hoped to not have to wade through the rubbish that an internet search throws up, by asking knowledgeable fellow dieters a SIMPLY question. Most folks here, though probably well meaning, absolutely ignored the words in the question in order to post their own diet, ideas, or agenda. Soak a sugar cube in lard and hide it in a puzzle box. It will be low calories, and will keep you occupied.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT!!!!!!!!!

NOT WHAT I ASKED THOUGH!
If you asked a barrista for a skinny latte, and he gave you a bacon milk shake because it would fill you up longer, would you be happy with the response? I've asked a simply question for information for snacks. How I use that info is a different subject. Low calorie density snacks WORK FOR ME. They make the chasm between meals a doddle, and help hugely with my diet. I know all the science behind slow burn, energy rich, fats, etc, but they are NOT what I have asked for.4 -
CALORIES PER 100 GRAMS ONLY PLEASE.
A 25g bag of crisps are not very filling as a snack. For the same calories, I could eat a ridiculously large 800g of radishes. No, I would not eat that many and also I am talking about snacks, NOT main meals. I eat a 200g bag of radishes at 32 calories now instead of opening a 25g bag of crisps at 134 calories. My stomach feels 175g more full with the radishes, and have eaten 102 calories less.
Whatever other dietary ideas you may have, I ask for one simply thing.
CALORIES PER 100 GRAMS. Whether I eat a gram or a thousand grams.
Please respect my request as cagging this post up with other stuff I makes it difficult to find the answers to the question I ACTUALLY ASKED.
Thank you.4 -
Do you often shout at people who are trying to help you?4

He only started using caps after he said like 10 timed that he is looking for food not dense in calories.1 -
Chobani yogurt tubes - 50 calories and they make you feel like a kid. The whole milk version is so decadent and tasty.1
-
Those of us who had taken chemistry know how to do conversions for calculating the kcals/100g. We are not all stupid. Maybe the OP can just go ahead and calculate the kcal/100 grams him/herself? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to do this for yourself.3

Homemade garlic hummus with light oil and light tahini. Lemon juice from Meyer lemons.
Dipped with sliced tricolor bell peppers, Persian cucumbers, or sugar snap peas, usually.1 -

Used capitals to try to, (hold your ears), EMPHASISE something I had said about 10 times. It's not a difficult concept. Those that ignore it, may mean well, but it NOT what I asked for. If you asked for a skinny latte, and the barrista gave you a teaspoon of lard, it would NOT be what you asked for. They may mean well, but it is NOT what you wanted.0 -
Popcorn is my go-to snack. Air-popped plain I love. 100g is 347 calories, but 100g is a huge bowl of 10 cups. It's a perfect munch-craving buster.
Other ideas:
100g blueberries is 57 calories
100g grapes is 67 calories
100g low-fat cottage cheese is 72 calories
100g cherry tomatoes is 30 calories
100g butternut squash is 45 calories
100g of some types of jell-o are less than 100 calories
Remember that a really good snack will be a mix of protein and fat, or protein and carb to keep you satisfied for longer.
THIS IS PERFECT.
ABSOLUTELY WHAT I NEEDED1
