Best low cal. snacks??

Options
So I'm the type of person that doesn't eat to live, I live to eat and I know I eat WAY too much food, and I'm use to a lot of snacks. So I'm looking for some low cal snacking options that will keep me full.

I guess I'm so use to eating so much even when I'm not hungry I feel like I want to eat.. What would help that, chewing gum?

I really love sunflower seeds but I know that they are high in fat :cry:

    FRUIT!

    I know there are sugars in fruit. But seriously .. ton of fruit (natural) vs cookie(processed)?

    No brainier to me!

    Watermelon makes me feel like a I have a sack of potatoes/leadballoon/herdofpigs/WHATEVER in my stomach for EVER. And it's super good for you! I snack on rasins, bananas, apples, and pineapple when I can - but the acidity makes my mouth bleed if I overdo it.

    Rice cakes.. too!

    I LOVE dark-chocolate covered almonds. I get the kind that are only lightly dusted and I get 24 almonds for only 160 calories plus they're SUPER good for you. I also love to eat carrots, yogurt, air-popped popcorn, and also lots of fruit. I like strawberries and bananas personally but have to limit so I don't overdue it on sugar. Do you like any raw veggies? My go-to for class is a bag of baby carrots, it gives you the crunch for only 35 calories for 10! You just have to find stuff you like and stick to those! Good luck!

    You sound like a natural girl :)
    I think everything "Neverreallyhappy" said would be good for you but if not maybe marmite on toast/crumpets for savory and for the sweet tooth pancakes plain or with 1 tsp of syrup ?
    maybe water base like jelly or frozen like Yoo moo vanilla frozen yogurt I love that!

    some 0% greek yogurt (vanilla organic liberte is my go to - it has a better texture and flavour than non-organic I find) mixed with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter with sliced apples to dip into it. fills you up and is delish (and feels like it should be worse for you).

    blend a frozen banana up - add a little cinnamon or cocoa powder and put back in the freezer and then take out and eat = fake icecream. another similar option is some chocolate (or whatever flavour you prefer) protein powder mixed with a cup of unsweetened almond milk to trick the mind that you're eating something decadent.

    or some air-popped popcorn, jam on ezekiel bread. pre-packaged cheese (like cheesestrings) are a great snack on the go (and portion controlled!). and lastly tea is also a wonderful no-calorie alternative when your mind is craving snacks.

    My favorite snack is:

    Fat free (0%) Greek yogurt - 6 oz container
    1/2 cup frozen red raspberries (No sugar added) or 3 tablespoons of sugar free jam
    1/4 cup crunchy granola
    Splenda or stevia to taste.

    That's about 280 calories and keeps me full for quite a while

    I used to be a huge potato chip eater, so now I do those Special K cracker chips instead. Yummy with some Laughing Cow cheese. Only 125 calories for the cheese/chips. I used to eat a whole bag of Utz Kettle Chips in a day which was like 1200 calories. *facepalm*

    Other than that, I do baby carrots and celery, berries n' whip cream, apples, bananas, greek yogurt, pickles... But I also usually skip lunch and have a bunch of calories left over for nightly snacking... cause I love em :D

    That suggestion with about 70 options above is good, but perhaps try to AVOID all the sugary ones? It's a good trick to try and wean yourself off added sugar rather than have it in all your snacks (like adding fruit and honey or dried fruit everywhere). As a dental nurse I can vouch for avoiding sugar; it does horrible things to your teeth if you're sucking on it all day.

    I find once I START with something sweet, I crave sugar all day and want to eat more.

    Just my 2 cents
