yeah and its all processed stuff not goodi wish i lived in US... you guys have EVERYTHING diet/sugar/fat free!0 -
Tomorrow is grocery shopping day (boo). Anyone care to share their favorite snack ideas around 100 calories?
Bite Size Petite Prunes ( 7 for 100 calories)
Fiber One 90 calorie brownies
Quaker Chewy Granola Bars (90 calories)
Navel Oranges (medium, around 80 calories)
Light Yogurt cups (anywhere from 80-100 calories depends on brand)
Emerald Almonds 100 calorie pack (dark chocolate is my favorite)
Cracker Barrel Cheese Singles (70 calories, individually wrapped)
Vitalicious Muffins (if your local store sells them, around 100 calories)
Baby carrots (around 20 or so for 100 calories)
Grapes/ cherries (1 cup for around 100 calories)
Strawberries (around 2 cups for 100 calories)
String Cheese (usually 80 calories, some "light" versions are even less)
Hard boiled egg (approx. 80 calories for one)
Hope this helps in some way. Good luck and happy (healthy) snacking!
*Also, Luna Bars come in mini-sizes (this is my recent discovery). Only 70 calories, so half the calories of the regular sized bar. And it is a perfect 'snack' portion.
**I almost forgot one of my favorites-- JELLO!!! Add some light whipped toppings and its light, delish, and definitely under 100 calories!0 -
An MFP friend also recently suggested homemade Larabars (I didn't know what these are...guess a brand of energy bars?) Anyway, Google and MFP reveal that they look delicious, and the cashew versions work out to be around 152 calories each. Bit more than you are aiming for, but they look seriously good. All you really need is dates, cashews, peanut butter and a food processor (: I imagine the granola versions are less calories.

Chocolate Slim fast, or a similar powder mix, drink made up with 250 mls of water instead of milk = 70 cals roughly, but the best bit is to add 1 Weetabix and blend it with one of those hand held whizzers..Total 135 cals for chocolate flavoured Weetabix that will keep ya going for a bit.0

This, my friends, is an Atkins advantage bar. It is only 150 calories, 4 net carbs, and 10g of protein! And satisfies my chocolate cravings! Perfect if you are a low carb person like me

People wonder why they can't and or stall at losing weight. A sound meal plan wouldn't have the need for snacks. Lol at pringles.0

You have six meals a day, which is fine, but some only have 3 and like a small snack in between. Or some crave a little salt, sugar, or whatever. Better to have a small snack then deprive yourself and binge, right? Just remember not everyone has the same will power to resist all things bad as you do, which is why, I believe, majority of the people use mfp, to make sure they don't over do it.0 -

I love the 90 calorie Fiber One bar and the 100 calorie packs of almonds. Very satisfying for 100 calories!0

I like to keep those fiber one brownies in my house for those gotta have chocolate days. I would rather eat a 90 calorie brownie than 2 tiny squares of dark chocolate that are about the same calorie count. Still get my chocolate plus the chewy brownie.
I also like to keep laughing cow cheese wedges on hand and low fat or light string cheese which are only 50 calories and I get in one serving of dairy that way. Fat free cottage cheese 1/2 a cup is 70 calories with blueberries or other fruit on top and its delicious and healthy plus low in calories and to top it off again you'll get a serving of dairy. I follow WW and try to get in 3 servings of dairy every day. I lose on average 1.8 lbs per week.0 -

As I can't do a lot of fruits (which makes me sad), a thing that has made the diet easier is that there are little 120 calories tubs of ice cream in multipacks. So as I am talking to my heartsister and watching TV in the evenings, I can have a little ice cream, and it feels slightly indulgent and has good resonances back to watching TV and eating ice cream as a child.
When I feel slightly indulged and well fed, I'm much more likely to stay on the diet. (And, of course, since they're prepackaged, it's not like you can fool yourself on the serving size.)0 -
My favorite fill me up, go to snack is air popped popcorn.... mist with water or Pam and use butter flavored buds... or spices.... lots a fiber too......0

I love these but be careful to drink plenty of water they can make you gassy.
I thought that was the only reason to eat Fiber One bars. :laugh:0 -
There's tons of 100 calorie snacks out there, but here is a link to Hungry Girl's ideas for homemade 100 calorie snacks with ingredients you buy in the store. (nothing complicated at all, btw) :flowerforyou:
http://www.hungry-girl.com/weighin/show/2385
The actual web page reads:
We LOVE making our own 100-calorie packs, so we decided to follow up our DIY email from awhile back with these new recipes. Make 'em, and revisit our original email to create your own!
HG FYI: When making your mixes, it's better to evenly distribute ingredients among the bags/containers and then mix 'em, as opposed to mixing them in one big bowl and then distributing the mixture. This way, you'll get an even amount of each ingredient in each serving (which means more accurate nutritionals)!
Another HG FYI: Those bags of microwave popcorn don't always yield the amount of popped corn indicated on the box. (A bunch of the kernels often remain unpopped.) So make sure you have extra bags on hand.
Banana Split Popcorn Mix
1/4th of recipe (about 1 1/2 cups): 100 calories, 1g fat, 53mg sodium, 24.5g carbs, 2g fiber, 17g sugars, 1g protein -- PointsPlus® value 3*
We turned banana split flavor into a sweet 'n salty affair. Ooooh... Try it!
Ingredients:
4 cups popped and cooled 94% fat-free kettle-corn-flavored microwave popcorn
2 cups bite-sized freeze-dried banana and strawberry pieces (like the kind by Gerber)
4 full-sized or 12 mini vanilla meringue cookies, broken into pieces
2 tsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Set out four sealable containers or bags, and evenly distribute ingredients among them. Seal containers or bags. Shake before eating!

Sweet Apple Pie Popcorn Surprise
1/4th of recipe (about 1 1/4 cups): 100 calories, 2g fat, 76mg sodium, 20.5g carbs, 2g fiber, 15g sugars, 0.5g protein -- PointsPlus® value 3*
SURPRISE -- there's white chocolate inside! We're not great with surprises...
Ingredients:
3 cups popped and cooled 94% fat-free kettle-corn-flavored microwave popcorn
2 cups bite-sized freeze-dried apple pieces (like the kind by Gerber)
2 tbsp. white chocolate chips, roughly chopped
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Directions:
Set out four sealable containers or bags, and evenly distribute ingredients among them. Seal containers or bags. Shake before eating!
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
Movie Concession Mix
1/4th of recipe (about 1 2/3 cups): 100 calories, 1g fat, 140mg sodium, 21.5g carbs, 1g fiber, 9g sugars, 1.5g protein -- PointsPlus® value 3*
Because picking just one snack to eat while you watch a movie is BORING. Enjoy ALL the snacks in portion-controlled perfection!
Ingredients:
6 cups popped and cooled 94% fat-free butter-flavored microwave popcorn
12 caramel-flavored mini rice cakes, broken into pieces
2 Twizzlers Strawberry Twists, chopped
2 tbsp. raisins, chopped
2 tsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Set out four sealable containers or bags, and evenly distribute ingredients among them. Seal containers or bags. Shake before eating!

You can try splitting up your meals, like eat half and then and hour or two later eat the rest. This has helped me reduce my snacking. If i really need a snack I'll have a hardboiled egg with a tiny apple.0

This makes no sense. Number of meals means nothing. What matters here are choices. If you want to snack on something, snack on some veggies. Those 100 calorie packs are jokes. Sure they are good every once in a while, however to have them as a staple of any meal plan is absurd.People wonder why they can't and or stall at losing weight. A sound meal plan wouldn't have the need for snacks. Lol at pringles.

I bet the people that are creative in eating low calorie snacks that keep them satisfied are probably more successful. I have been
losing and maintaining for more that 10 years now...not going up more that 2 lbs and going down each year. I creatively snack at
my most hungry times. By allowing yourself some satisfaction..you are telling yourself you can and not feeling as deprived as someone telling themselves they can't....Live is for living. 0 -
Quaker oatmeal cookies... they are processed (damn), but quite good... 3 cookies is a serving and a serving packs 139 calories. If you're not into professional bodybuilding... I think they're very decent for a snack out of a bag. They make them in different flavors, so you can have them plain, with chocolate, berries.. etc. Don't eat them EVERY day and you should be ok.0

You're right on the healthy snacks and all, and on not eating 100 cal snacks every day..... but saying 6 meals a day has nothing to do is....CRAZY. Number of meals means everything (granted you pick the right food too). Several meals a day makes a much more stable blood sugar lever, will reduce cravings a whole lot. So.. eating 5-6 meals a day might help you with not eating the snacks that have been so dogmatically ridiculed.
If you're a pro.. then you don't need someone here to tell you what to eat or not to eat. If you're starting out on a weight loss plan... do it right and trust me... if you've been eating mc flurries and milky ways daily for years, and you have a rough time with the changes you recently made... have a freaking special k snack instead of snapping and out of a nervous breakdown head to the wendy's drive thru.0
