    I love savoury stuff so popcorn is my new go-to, you get loads for not many cals

    Sainsburys do a cheese and chive popcorn, 20g for 93 cals
    Tyrrells do a sour cream and jalapeno popcorn 20g for 97 cals
    Graze do the Light Boxes which are all under 150 cals, often under 100 cals
    Curly Wurly or Fudge 115 cals if you want chocolate
    Muller Light yogurts 90-110 cals

    I keep a stash of hard boiled eggs in the fridge.
    Also lidl tend to do seed mixes, nuts and dried fruit reasonably cheap, though careful with the portion sizes.
    Diced chicken, especially if you flavour it before cooking. I have a tandoori and a Cajun style spice mixes recipe, or you can Google. Mix with lemon juice for a low cal marinade. Shop bought spice mixes can be extremely high in salt.
    Babybel light
    Cottage cheese with veg sticks


    I've never seen why snack bars e.g. go ahead are seen as a healthy snack. They are just sugary heavily processed carbs in small enough portions that they end up as reasonably low calorie. But then I think the same about cereal to and can't understand why it's so popular.

    Mango pieces - delicious healthy snack & about 85 cals per portion

    Walkers sunbites crisps - very very tasty crisps at 120 cals a bag

    - those are what I'm addicted to at the moment!
  • Thanks everyone. I am going to deffo try to feel the love for rice cakes. I have always distrusted them for no good reason... Maybe because I associate rice with being way high in cals/carbs etc

    For non workout days - extra, extra light; melon, Rowntrees (I think) 10cal jelly (little tubs), rice cakes. For workout days, Greek 0% fat yoghurt, nuts, peanut butter, cheese (reduced fat), Eat Natural bars, dried apricots, dried mango....I'm a veggie so sorry there aren't any meaty things....
  • Melba Toasts (and I like them with Hummus)! They're all the crunch of crisps and all the flavour you need, plus you get like, 10 lush crackers in a packet and you feel really full, just because you've eaten so many!

    Melba Toasts can be bought pretty much anywhere, but I tend to get mine in ASDA and buy their yellow-box own brand ones. They're 130 calories and you get ten in a pack.

    They're not a healthy snack but sometimes I need a small portion of 'sugary heavily processed carbs'. :tongue:

    Feel the love for rice cakes by spreading with honey - just like sugarpuffs used to be!
    Also instant porridge (oat so simple) 190 cals. Love 9bars, gluten free, heavy on seeds and topped with carob so it's a 200 cal sweet treat.
    For savoury stuff I 'd recommend graze box. And mini boursin...hard to only pop a couple but 62 cals each.

    Graze snacks are tasty & convenient.

    I made my own version of Graze boxes by buying a load of goodies when Holland & Barret had their penny sale - cranberries, pumpkin seeds, prunes, nuts etc.

    Today's snack is a 40g individual pack from the Chunky Cheese Co. - mature cheddar with chilli & lime (160 cals). Available from various supermarkets.

    Clementines are very low calorie.

    I tend to go for Nairn's oatcakes with one of the low-fat mini-pots of Tesco's Frijolemole that come in stacks of 3.

    If I have a time of the month chocolate craving then one of the Philadelphia chocolate mini-pots on an oatcake is good.

    I'm another thumbs up for Popcorn too - the Tyrell's ones are lovely. I had a really decent bag of 'salty and sweet' from Marks & Spencer last week that I believe was around 130 cals for a really decent portion.

    Chobani greek yogurt tubs, they might be available in the UK? If not, any greek yogurt in a little tub. High in protein, low cal and filling.

    You beat me to it! Ryvita or Nairn's oatcakes topped with something protein-based always fills me up. Chocolate Philly and Longley Farm cottage cheese are my favourites.

    I also buy those bags of ready-chopped carrot batons from the supermarket - handy for munching through. Or an entire cucumber chopped up and covered in dried oregano - put in a Tupperware box and much away (the oregano gives it a Greek salad flavour). If you have spare calories also add some olive oil, tomatoes and/or a small amount of crumbled feta.

    I have to admit to also having cheese strings in the fridge - easy portion sizes and take a bit longer to eat as I can't resist playing with them. They are good after exercise.

    My other favourite snack is chocolate banana icecream - freeze a chopped banana, whack in a food processor with a splash of milk and a few spoons of cocoa powder. Blitz. Amazing soft icecream!

    I try to have a snack that has protein as it helps maintain cravings.

    Nuts are good, Almonds are my favorite.,
    Dried fruit w/mixed nuts like walnuts and peanuts etc....,
    Apples w/peanut butter & celery w/peanut butter,
    Stringcheese w/apples or pears or a multigrain cracker,
    Greek Yogurt w/granola & berries,
    Hard Boiled Egg,
    Egg Salad w/whole grain crackers/bread,
    Hummus and veggies (carrots, celery, bell peppers, what ever fresh veggie you like)

    Those are just some ideas and some of my favs. hope it helps. =)

    Banana Oatmeal "Cookies":

    1 Banana
    1 c. Oatmeal (raw)
    Raisins

    Mash the banana with a fork then add the oats and raisins (i also added some cinnamon) and mix with hands. Make 6 small cookies and place on baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 min at 180° or until golden brown on the edges. Cool and enjoy!

    I usually have 3 cookies for a snack..... 153 cals.....yummy and filling....and Clean!! :)

    Child sized fromage frais - about 50 calories each (you can get a layered "greek yoghurt" one)

    Matteson's Roast Chicken Fridge Raiders - 115 calories for the big bags, 70 calories for the small bags

    Hartley's 10 calorie jellies - 10 calories per pot

    Fruit Factory fruit stars - 61 calories a bag (there are other similar fruit-based snacks too)

    Ryvita bakes - 20 calories per bake

    Pickled gherkins, onions, etc. - negligible calories

    You need carbs when you work out right?

    I made flapjacks that were about 220 kcal per 45 gram portion.... They're yummy, I used real butter as well as some almonds and cranberries, so you could make them lower in fats and calories by using margarine and removing the almonds and/or cranberries.

    It was really easy to make too...

    Basic Recipe:
    100 g butter (or margarine)
    3 tblp honey
    160 g porridge oats
    A pinch of salt

    Extras:
    50 g dried cranberries
    30 g chopped almonds

    Melt butter and honey in a pot with salt while stirring.
    Mix in porridge oats, make sure to coat everything with the butter and honey.
    Extra: Mix in almonds and cramberries. Mix well.
    Put the mixture in a greased oven form for around 20 minutes at 180°C.
    Cut into 8 squares while hot and then wait until its completely cooled.
    Remove from mold, you might need to cut the bottom of the squares again.
    Eat or store for later.

    I snack on unsalted pistachios, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc.
    If you can get some tasty pitted dates, a couple of those are great as they have a gooey consistency almost like a chocolate (almost!!)
    I am obsessed with blueberries which are high in antioxidants, you could throw them in with some natural yoghurt.
    Porridge made with water is also a good 150 calorie meal that fills me up... I add blueberries and/or half a banana/any other fruit and a splash of skimmed milk on top. Yum.
    Light Philadelphia or Skinny Crowdie (Scottish!) is also great on a krisproll/ryvita/oatcake with cherry tomatoes.

    Many of my favourites have already been mentioned, but fruit plays a big part in my snacking habits - fresh or dried. A portion is almost always under 100 cals and usually has some fibre content. Dried mango is particularly good, as the chewing required seems to ake me feel full for longer!

    Other than that, carrots from the fridge, oatcakes, cheese, peanut butter, greek yoghurt, nuts, dark chocolate, pickles, slices of prosciutto or seafood sticks are some of my usually-on-hand go-to's.

    Full fat sweetened Greek yoghurt. I accept no substitutes. A single serving is 180 kcals. Get the un-sweetened version if you're not a sugar junkie like me for less sugar and kcals.

    Mashed fruit baby food. I don't know what these are called, but they're basically small containers with mashed up fruit (usually apple and pears) made for babies. Those things are delicious. Depending on what you get, it should be under 100 kcal each.

    If you are at home, scrambled eggs are super easy. 140 kcals for two large eggs, a little more if you add oil, but still under 200.

    Strawberries! Easy to wash and eat and very low in calories. Add to unsweetened greek yoghurt for more deliciousness.

    I eat honey-flavored Nestum all the time, it's a honey-flavored kind of oatmeal. It's sweet and delicious. If you have Nestum, I suggest that. If you don't, I suggest oatmeal.

    These bean patties:
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/904257-black-bean-burgers
    Are less than 100 kcal a piece. Find a good low-cal bread / tortilla / wrap you enjoy, add some lettuce, tomato, and a tiny bit of ketchup, and you could have a hamburger (sort of) when you like. Very filling, delicious, and (probably) under 200.

    Oh! I forgot little thai fishcakes. I have a recipe that I make up into bite-size fishcakes and keep in the fridge. I don't have exact measurements (as I tend to make it up as I go along), but basically you're looking at:

    Approx 300g white, boned/skinned fish (pollock is a good, cheap and sustainable one)
    1 raw egg
    a good handful of fresh coriander chopped up
    1/2 red chilli chopped
    approx 1 dessert spoon of thai fish sauce
    approx 1 dessert spoon of red or green thai curry paste (paste..NOT sauce!)

    Whizz all the above in a food processer and then stir in a handful of very finely chopped green beans (cut into very thin discs). Get dessert spoon sized dollops and shape them lightly with damp hands (so they don't stick to you) until you have a good plateful - I get around 20 out of the amounts above. Then shallow fry them in veg oil until brown on either side; which takes around 5 minutes, pat them down with a kitchen towel.

    I have 1-2 of those as a snack either on its own, or dipped into a tiny bit of mayo or sweet chilli. They're a good source of protein and low calorie for the amounts (I can work calories on a per fishcake basis if anyone wants)
  • Carrot batons, m&s chocolate and pecan popcorn, tayto velvet crunch healthy crisps, weightwatchers caramal wafers or any of their cakes (bakewell slice & angel cake especially good) Rich tea biscuits at 38 calories each are ok, low fat greek yoghurt with honey (delicious) and lots and lots of fruit.

    Someone I know spreads organic peanut butter on ryvita, not sure of calorie or fat content but can see how it's good for energy and protein + fibre.

    What does.... You are on about mean?

    Is this only a UK thing?? 'I don't know what you are on about'' translates as ''I've no idea what you are talking about''

    that made me smile

    I try to 'eat clean' and cut the junk so will make some guacamole and have this oatcakes. Also have cashew or almond butter from Holland and Barratt on oatcakes.

    On the go I will have an alpro soy chocolate milk and a nakd bar or sorreen malt loaf. Sorreen rocks for training. I also keep a stash of brazil nuts in my desk drawer

    100g low fat natural yoghurt (Aldi's is low cost, low cal n nice n thick). Sprinkle in 10g of sunflower seeds or some flaxseed (variety of diff flaxseeds available at Holland & Barrett). Of course, you can put in whatever you like but I like the crunch from the seeds! Good luck:smile:

    Munchy seeds - from Lakeland or Waitrose/Ocado - love them!!

    Walkers French Fries are only about 80 cal per bag, as are Quavers, Ryvita minis are 90 cal per bag - lovely sour cream and chive mmmmmm (and you can spread them with Marmite).

    I've got a tub of yeast extract flakes to add to air-popped corn (an air-popper is not very expensive, and you can buy the kernals cheaply in Holland & Barrett)

    Lindt dark chocolate with seas salt - one square is about 48 cals (but they are big flat squares so its like 3 normal)

    Go ahead 3-biscuit packs 150 cals

    Dorset cereals bars - YUMMY Love the dark chocolate and macadamia or seriously fruity.
