Snacks that are 29 calories or less

i would perhaps allow yourself 50 to 100 cals for a sufficient snack.

I cannot think of anything with such few calories which will be filling or tasty alone!

I was thinking celery sticks (1 cup is about 15 cals) and low fat hummus to dip?

Try not to obsess so much. Going a couple hundred over will not in any way set you back in the long run. You need to take care of yourself.

How many calories are you giving yourself for the day?

OP, congrats for taking us to a new level of precision!

Green peppers, blueberries, strawberries, cantaloupe. All are low calorie and filling.

A word of caution on religion and MFP. This site is great but getting too obsessed with cals in/cals out at this level can become a bit destructive.

Watch the trands in your overall fitness and nutrition. For example, 29 calories don't matter nearly as much as skipping working out 10 days in a row.

Good luck!

yeah, everyone hates the thought of working out, but once you start it, then you'll find how addictive it can become. Good luck with your endeavor

MFP tends to assign the absolute minimum number of calories because it is assumed you will be earning more through exercise. Even if you are not exercising, it is very likely that you can lose weight eating more.

You should avoid eating below your BMR. Go here www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr to find out what your number is. I'm 130 pounds and even on days I don't exercise I could still lose weight eating 1600.

small kiwi is 33, 3 peices of wafer thin ham, some cherry tomatoes, strawberry sliced up, low fat rice cakes, weight watchers sachet of hot choclate, button mushrooms, half a bag of spinach with lime/lemon juice as dressing, a quarter of a bag of prawns! !
These are all under 30 aslong as you have the right amount! and can satisfy a craving for a snack!
Hope this helps x

MFP is giving me 1200 calories, which I find very difficult, because up until the other day I would eat whatever I wanted and however much I wanted. I have not worked in exercise yet...only three days into this, and while I know that adding exercise will increase my avail. calories, I HATE exercising, and am angry enough at having to scale back on my eating (I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted and still always looked almost anorexic). I figure it's best to take baby steps and one thing at a time so I don't get overwhelmed with hatred and quit - once I see some progress with a few pounds dropped, I think I will want to exercise and improve on that.

I was the same way. I did basic stretching and walking to go with my 1200 cal until I lost enough weight to exercise a bit more. Just remember when you do start exercising heavy to increase your calories! And remember to keep your protein up, you don't want to lose muscle. You lose muscle, it makes maintaining more difficult.

How many pounds a week are you telling MFP you want to lose? If it's two, try scaling back to 1 1/2. That is still a very respectable weight loss rate and you'll be probably set to 1300 calories a day instead of 1200 possibly as much as 1450 as trying to lose 1/2 pound less adds 250 calories a day but if a 2 pounds a week goal would put you under 1200 MFP will set your daily goal to 1200 so the difference might not be the 250 extra.

Exercise gets easier as you get more active. Just start with walks since they are low strees/impact/effort and then continue as you feel you could do more.

The secret is to find something that you like doing actively and then it ceases being exercise. Somehow I caught the running bug, which is good for me as it is also good exercise, you might find you enjoy taking walks on the beach or walking the dog down to the park or playing bocce or something.

don't know the exact number of calories, but a wedge of raw cabbage is my go-to snack. great crunchability, filling, and when you have eaten it, you think you have eaten something.

1200 is a Target, not a Commandment. chill.

and hang with MFP! it works!!!
