Well, I guess they dont really have to be healthy.. Just somewhat low calorie. Looking for ideas aside from fruit =)
I have 400 calories left over and a movie to watch so lets hear it!

    I like to make popcorn it gives me my salty, crunchy & tasty all for some pretty low calories. I don't add butter or cheese but it is 130 calories per ounce including the oil. I use Country Harvest pre-made packs but there probably isn't a big variation out there with other brands. On a few occasions I actually ate a whole 4 oz batch which is a pretty big bowl and that was 520 calories but I just did that for my supper/snack all at once and it didn't hurt me on the scale and boy was it yummy :tongue:

    Jelly Bellies! 30 for about 150 cals! I love to eat them slowly and savor the unique flavor of each!

    My husband makes popcorn and I have Pirates Booty white cheddar puffs. They are all natural and only 140 calories per oz. I eat 1.5-2oz when it's movie night. They are so good, they taste better than Cheetos!

    My first thought was STRAWBERRIES, then you said no fruit.

    Smartpop 100 cal popcorn is good too.

    Roasted edamame is pretty good (Seapoint, 1/4cup = 130 Cal)

    I make homemade pimento cheese....low fat cream cheese with cheddar cheese (not the whole brick of Kraft) and a large jar of pimentos....just spread it on celery and believe it or not sprinkle with just a touch of cayenne pepper....gives it a little KICK...it keeps the "crunch" value instead of chips....

    If I watch a film at home I make home-made "potato chips". I take few slices of Krakowska kielbasa ( polish sort of cold cut sausage), some spices and put that in microwave oven for a cuple of minutes. It becomes very crunchy, just like potato chips :bigsmile:

    I use the one made of chicken, so it's low fat, but I think you can do it with any cold cut.
