I am trying to find a new snack food to add to my roster. Right now my main snacks are yogurt with frozen raspberries and a small apple dipped in a touch of cinnamon sugar. I like my snacks between 75-200 calories.

Whats your favorite snacks under 200 calories?

    I like frozen blueberries, cherries and peaches. I like to freeze a container of yogurt. Carrot sticks, a pouch of tuna, an egg.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Wanted to add, if you can put calorie counts for the snacks that would be awesome!

    Special K chips are the best! they are 110 calories for 27 chips and they actually taste good! also Jello smores pudding for 110, its not as filling as the chips but good if you're craving something sweet :)

    Granola bars (Quaker Oats are around 90cal each)

    Fruit snacks (Mott's fruit snacks are made with real fruit, it's pretty good too!)

    Special K snacks (they're all around 100cal each, all designed to help lose weight)

    FiberOne granola bars (really filling and 90cal, plus it's got lots of fiber!)

    Skinny Pop (it's popcorn that is 39cal per cup. Delicious and 100% organic)

    Tortilla corn chips (about 150cal per serving, definitely a good choice)

    Guacamole (might have more calories, but it's really good for you!)

    I seriously miss chips and dip..but have replaced them with Breton Minis (snack crackers) in Garden Vegetable flavor (140 calories for 29 crackers)..with a wedge of Laughing Cow Light Blue Cheese or French Onion..35 calories a wedge. Makes an awesome snack in the evening and totally takes care of my chips/dip craving.

    Chocolate Vita top muffin tops. In the frozen food aisle and only 100 calories. Actually I eat them for breakfast as well and put 1 pat of butter on top. Yum! Under 200 calories and keeps me full until lunch. Also, no additives or preservatives.

    Oh, also Popchips! you can have 23 of them for 120 calories. They are like potato chips, but no fat. Not fried, not baked. Popped. They come in lots of flavors and also have no additives or preservatives.

    Veggies and hummus... 1/4 cup of hummus is about 140 calories (Sabra brand, anyway). I like to eat it with carrots, broccoli, red pepper, whatever I have on hand. 3 medium carrots are around 75 calories. 1 medium red pepper is about 30 calories, and around a cup of broccoli clusters (65g) is about 20 calories, so you can have a good mix of veggies and a decent amount of hummus for around 200 calories.

    Cottage cheese, 1/2 cup is about 100 calories with 14g protein, I often stir in applesauce or chunks of fruit.

    Kefir, 1 cup is about 140 calories, 11g protein.

    1/2 c of Stonyfield farm Banilla yogurt with 1 tbsp of peanut butter stirred in, 200 calories. Or 6 oz of plain greek yogurt (fage) with a tbsp of peanut butter and a tbsp of honey, around 250 calories for ~21g protein.

    I would also second the roasted chickpeas. You can make them spicy/savory, or sweet, depending on what you are in the mood for.

    You can see I love my protein >.> I like to have high protein snacks, though, because then they tend to keep me more full. I love popcorn and other snacks like that, but I get hungry a lot sooner.

    ETA: Also bananas. Yum.... sometimes I dip them in my greek yogurt/honey/peanut butter mix.
