Quick, healthy, low calorie snacks???? Anyone?

My go to snacks are getting boring. I snack on a lot of popcorn and fruit. I'm really trying to watch my sugar content also. Anyone have any great ideas for different snack ideas?

Yeah, thats great for helping you lose weight. You can't gain anything if your dead, silly! :P

I like cereal for a snack. Chex cinnamon is good - just enough sugar to keep me happy and I get to munch.

Cut up a cucumber and dip it like a chip in salsa! My go to favorite!

50 calorie string cheese
a few almonds
2 slices of real or fake deli meat

This is a good snack that sticks with me for a while for around 150 calories

I love a half cup of sliced cucumber, 5 large baby carrots and a laughing cow cheese wedge... only 69 calories and very filling!

Try frozen grapes. You suck on them like hard candy so they last a long while, plus they are surprisingly satisfying.:happy: :happy:

I am gluten-free so I have to get quite creative with snacking. One of my favorites is Rice Cakes with all-natural peanut butter. Quaker rice cakes are only 50 calories! I also love almonds and fruit. When I need a salty snack, I love edamame (the kind you can microwave) with a little bit of salt, or sunflower seeds/soy nuts. Pop chips are new and gf too. They're kind of like special K cracker chips and definitely a great alternative to other high-fat/ high-cal chips.

Cabot Serious Snackers 50% Reduced calorie cheese squares and baby carrots or grape tomatoes, beef jerky tis a good snack too

amywils77

Yum....you all have some great ideas! Thanks!

shrdlicka23

My favorite are:
Veggies and FF Ranch
Celery and PB
Veggies and Hummus
Apple Cinn Rice Cake and PB
Beef Jerky
Nuts

Cheese and grains are a weight gain trigger for me so I try to stay away from them as much as possible

SGRHO23

Great list!

lisadhancock

i love slicing a cucumber thin and put in a bowl and squeeze the juice of a whole lemon over the top. So yummy!

meli_mel25

I love edamame!

My fav snack is 2-3 lettuce leaves 6 slices of lean turkey lunch meat and a little bit of honey mustard. Roll 2-3 pieces of meat in each leaf and add a touch of mustard, 100 calories. Yummy and filling too. I also like 3 wasa crisp bread slices with 1 laughing cow wedge and 5 grape tomatoes sliced on top, also 100 calories. 1 other easy one--Lipton cup of soup packet, 50-60 calories. I am usually craving a savory snack.

Roasted seaweed, either the sheets, or the little packages. Its like eating chips, but really healthy.

Tonight, we did our own version of sushi without rice. Made seaweed 'wraps'. We used a baked scramble egg, sliced thinly, imitation crab meat, shrimp, shredded carrots, cumber strips, advocado, and rolled it in the seeweed. Depending on what I put it, it was under 100 cal, and was almost like sushi. We dipped it in the soy and wasabi...

Yoplait Satisfy yogurts are my favourite. Most of them are 70-90 calories, too. You also get a decent serving and they fill you up really nicely Skinny cows are also great, as well as special K 100 calorie dessert bars! Be warned these are quite small though so they're not nearly as satisfying as the first two suggestions
