Foods you can eat a lot of for 100 calories or less?

soidade

So I've been looking at 100 calorie snack suggestions, but "1/4 cup raisins" doesn't cut it for me; I'm just hungry 10 minutes later. I'm looking for volume – things that I can eat a CUP or more for 100 calories or less. I know broccoli, grapes, kettlecorn, blueberries... Any other suggestions? Not doing low-carb or low-sodium, so things like pretzels are fine.

Strawberries, cherry tomatoes, mange tout, bean sprouts, cucumber, lettuce celery, pepers.

Rice cakes
Cottage cheese, Quark, yoghurt

You could probably get a couple of lettuce in as a snack for 100cals.

I guess for that amount you want something substantial. A small amount of pretzels or raisens wouldn't really cut it for me.

Try fat free yoghurt. For 100cals you can have a pot of 0% Fage Total Greek Yoghurt which is full of protein and will make you feel like you've eaten something. Add another 20cals to that and you have honey on the top too.

Most veggies. For example, I bought a can of yellow squash and onions. If I eat the entire can, it's only 88 calories.

A whole can of cooked baby carrots is 123 cals.

An entire bag of steamed garlic cauliflower is 140 cals.

I use raw sugar snap peas as vehicles for dips, instead of chips. They're 88 cals for a 7.5 oz. bag. Add some salsa or hummus, and you've got a HUGE tasty snack for relatively few calories.

i'm a sucker for Skinny pop popcorn. It tastes salty as well as buttery and at 39 calories a cup,you can have 3 cups without feeling guilty.

Why is 100 or less the magic number?

Roasted Carrot "Fries", cucumber & onion salad, rice pudding cup, Fiber One Lemon Bar, and bananas are my current go-to snacks. Lots of good suggestions on this thread!

Most fruit. Spinach.

There really isn't much you're going to find that's filling for so few calories, especially if you want an entire cup of it.

-Salads w/ chopped veggies topped w/ packet of tuna and spritzed with lemon juice. It's probably around 150-200 calories, but good volume.
-Egg whites with chopped veggies and salsa
-veggies and homemade hummus
-lettuce cups w/ 2 oz shredded chicken seasoned up taco style
-cottage cheese or string cheese and a piece of fruit

3 tbsp of Egg Beater Southwestern Eggs- 20 cal
Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Patty - 50 Cal
1 tbsp salsa -5 cal

Total=75 cal. Very high in protein and is more of a mini meal than a snack for me

Fiber one Brownies, 90 calories each and perfect sweet tooth killer

Laughing Cow cheese and cucumber slices. 35 calories per wedge and its like 20 calories for a whole freaking cucumber

My local walmart has mini snack packets with apples/yogurt dip, celery/peanut butter, apple/cheese. They is the fresh veggie section. I always grab a few (since they're only $1 each!!!) and toss them in the bottom of the fridge as a to go snack

A banana!

A kroger brand cinnamon waffle plain. I don't know if anyone else like them plain, but I think they're delicious and 110 cal.

1 cup of Apple Jacks is 110 calories. I eat these as a chip replacement.

Miso Soup is only around 50 calories (but beware of sodium!)

Low Fat String Cheese and a few slices of Turkey Breast

100 Calories Healthy Pop kettle corn

Kroger brand fruit and cream oatmeal is only 130 cal a bag

There is a brand of veggie burgers that is only 80 calories. Wrapped in lettece with tomato and honey mustard. Yum! (I'm sure there has a to be a turkey burger that taste even better but I haven't had to go diet food shopping in awhile.)

Chicken. Just plain chicken. I like to shred some, put some salsa on it and eat it like string cheese. I'm weird.



I'm a snacker if you can't tell. :-)

The steamable bag of veggies (broccoli with seasoning, carrots etc) -- it has 2 or 3 servings per bag, but the ENTIRE bag is under 100 usually (depending on sauces). Thats a LOT of volume of food.

I am going out to buy almost everything on this list! Great ideas!!

broccoli with parmesan!

Strawberries are VERY low in calories...one cup of strawberries has about 50 calories. That one cup also contains 3 grams of fiber, which will really help fill you up, plus tons of vitamins and minerals.

Also, unsweetened almond milk...one cup only has thirty calories. Often I'll put some berries in almond milk and add some stevia or another no-calorie sweetener, really delicious!

Real Deal Pea Crisps - really taste good - 120 calories but the serving size is huge at 100 chips so just knock it down to 3/4 of the serving.

This is about 225 calories, but I find it really satisfying:
1 cup of plain cheerios
1/2 serving (just under half a cup) of plain non fat greek yogurt
25 raisins (I know....counting raisins is embarrassing and sticky)
1 tsp of sugar

SUPER YUM --- going to have it for dinner, I think!
