I am interested in collecting a good list of very low calorie go to snacks. I watch calories and sodium. If any of you have ideas for meals and snacks that cost almost nothing in calories but can be filling or fun to munch on post them here.

Some of mine are:

Air popped popcorn
Apples
Oven baked fish and veggies
Normendy blend vegetables (the one with the yellow squash)
Spaghetti squash
Home made marinara
home made pico de gallo
diet soda (Trying to do this one less)
Spinach

My slightly higher calorie ones include
String Cheese
Greek Yogurt
feta cheese
Home made Tzatziki
Baked Turkey or chicken




How about you guys? What are some of your low calorie go to foods?

    I am also interested in seeing the responses to your question. I usually drink more water, or a fruit of some kind. Some new choices would be awesome.

    Yeah I love to learn new ones.

    The popcorn is good because depending on the brand and toppings you can sometimes eat a TON of air popped for like 100 calories. The spaghetti squash is a pretty filling one too.. it goes well with pasta sauce or I have found it is pretty tasty as it is with just a little pepper.

    I love eating Kellogg's Cracker Chips as a low cal snack. The Sour Cream and Onion are only 110 calories for 27 chips. Just make sure you count them out. Sometimes, I don't eat a whole serving either.

    Another go to food for me is lebanon bologna (25-45 cal a slice depending on brand) with low fat cream cheese (35 cal per 1 T). Roll them up or put it in a sandwich made with the Pepperidge Farm bread (40 cal a slice).

    I usually go for strawberries, carrots, or honeydew for my fave fruit/veggies. For cheese i love laughing cow(35 calories per wedge!) and some low cal toast or crackers. I love string cheese! the kind i get is 50 calories. If you like pickles, there are some that are suuuper low in calories. That's all i can think of right now :tongue:

    I love pickles but those have to be a sometimes snack for me because of the sodium. :)

    To get my chocolate fix. 2 graham crackers. A tablespoon of chocolate chips split between the two crackers and a marshmallow on each. I call it my open face s'mores. 20 secs in the microwave. Gooey deliciousness.
