Favorite "Go To" Snacks

Air popped popcorn is one of mine I usually pack it for lunch in a bag or container - you can have about 3 cups for under 100 calories if you wanted but I tend to stick to around 2ish I do a batch up and keep it in a sealed container and just take from that for when I need my snacks. When you open the container, you can smell popcorn and I think it helps with the general satisfaction!

Otherwise, most of my go-to meals and snacks are pre-packaged, because I don't have scales and I'm time-poor Things like cheese sticks, babybel cheeses, those yoghurts in the squeezie packets are great and I include them in my meal plans frequently! There are also these 'Lo-Carb' bars that come in flavours and are 100 calories, so sometimes I'll buy one or two for a treat during the week

- Cup-a-soups are great, I have a couple that are only around 50 calories. If I have too many in a row though I sort of lose my stomach for them so I only have them every once in a while now. If I have a salad, I usually try to have a soup as well to help fill me up (Plus, water intake!)

- I keep jars of salsa in my cupboard sometimes, and I'll use half a jar on some frozen vegetables for lunch. It's pretty good with broccoli

- Vita Weats are another one - about 4 crispbread biscuits for around 100 calories. I usually pack cucumber, tomato or bread & butter cucumbers (pickles) to have on them as they are all really insignificant in calories.

Also, I just found out that watermelon is really low in calories! So are strawberries, but they are expensive here at the moment. I cut them up and freeze them as soon as I get them home, because sometimes the ones in the punnets tend to get moldy or squished if you leave them too long.

V8 Fusion drink

almonds
apple and peanut butter

I have a serious addiction to home made sweet potato chips. I cut a sweet pot. really thin, lay them on a baking sheet, and lightly coat with coconut oil. Add a little salt and its just like eating chips!!!!

I also make my own low fat, 0 sugar icecream ** AMAZING**

But when i dont have time to make anything, i'll sick to low fat cottage cheese with berries, or sugar free pudding

Apple with peanut butter or a slice of cheese (old cheddar is the best, or Swiss)

Laughing cow cheese (2 triangles) with rice crackers (10 crackers are 80 calories)
Fresh blueberries and a fat free yogurt (100g)
Homemade banana muffins or any other type of homemade muffin.
Veggies and calorie-wise ranch dip

Love the popcorn. I don't use the packaged stuff, Alton Brown taught me a neat trick that you can use regular popcorn, a brown paper bag, and staples. If you've got a microwave, you can get popcorn. I can pre-measure it at home and put it in my bag for my snack at work. Coworkers happily filtch from me then.

I use that recipe too - I love Good Eats!

Other go-to snacks are mixed nuts - I keep a container in my locker at work. I also like baby carrots with hummus.
