what are the best snack options without them being veggies/f

jennbriere

Hi everyone,

I do eat some veggies/fruits in my day, but often don't find it very filling.. Do any of you have suggestions of good snacks I could eat that have low calorie and sugar??

Thanks

Jenn

Try hard boiled eggs (90 cals), Emerald raw nuts (100 cals/pack), Fiber bars (90-200 cals depending on brand), Yoghurts (cal vary depending on brand).

Snacks containing protein and fiber will fill you up more than those containing carbs and sugar.

I personally like to have some all natural peanut butter on celery, sliced tomato with some lemon pepper on it, boar's head ham with light cream cheese & chives rolled up in it, hard boiled egg, protein fruit smoothy...
Hopefully, these might help...I'm interested in what others post as well.

I am finding that sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds are good for me. If you eat them one at a time a little lasts a long time and washed down with a glass of water seems to work for me. (Well at the moment, next week I may have to try something else)

Hi,

I find that a little protein goes a long way. A tablespoon of peanut butter on celery sticks or apple slices. Babybel light or Laughing Cow cheese and a few Triscuits. A boiled egg. A few slices of thinly slices of deli ham or turkey. I find these kinds of snacks last longer. But i notice that if i include a little protein with each meal, i rarely need a snack between meals.

When I'm having a sweet tooth I grab an All-natural fruit strip (stretch island fruit co.) from Costco

Eat your fruits and veggies with hummus or peanut butter.

I love those little 100cal snack packs. They come in a variety of flavours and they satisfy your craving while at the same time being portion controlled and only 100 calories!

4. Frozen Banana (peel it first, stick in the freezer overnight- it's like a yummy popsicle)

When I was really young, not even in high school yet, I heard that frozen bananas were great. I didn't take the peel off. So it didn't go so well. lol

My fave snack for getting filled up is walnuts, but they are loaded with calories.

Bump because of that list - great ideas!

McGann's makes a great instant Irish oatmeal in a 100cal pack.

It's unflavored but a little cinnamon, Truvia, sugar free maple syrup or the like and you are good to go! I find that that plus a full glass of water keeps me pretty full a bit. There's almost no sugar and better yet only 80mg of sodium!!
