Hey guys,

So doing a week of MFP and I love it. I've noticed that my snack is always higher than the rest of my sections and I want to try and improve that. What do you guys eat for snacks after school/work that is low in calories, yummy and healthy for you?

    Hi,

    I will have carrots and 1-2 tbs of ranch dressing. Wheat crackers with a wedge of skinny cow cheese. Veggies dipped in light ranch dressing.

    Hello superstarbaby!
    Welcome to MFP. My snacks tend to be protein related most days. Some days it is fruit, but I find fruit doesn't "stick" with me as long as protein. Good choices would be:
    1. a tablespoon of peanut butter and 5 crackers
    2. a cup of lowfat cottage cheese
    3. a half cup of low fat or plain Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of jam or jelly mixed in
    4. a scrambled egg sandwich: (1) egg, (1) 2% cheese slice, (1) slice bread. Cook egg in 1 tsp butter

    Many options out there. Just depends on what you like:)
    Most "snacks" are considered to be around 200 calories.

    Good luck:)

    I've started carrying a baggie with beef jerky and wasabi peas in my purse. I'm a salt lover and it hits the spot during the day. Also, sometimes I mix a scoop of my chocolate protein powder with water, it's less than 100 calories and pretty filling.
