Hi there! I have recently been eating 3 meals with 2-3 snacks in between. I've gone through hard boiled eggs, clementines, Kashi granola bars, and apple wedges. What do you eat when you need a quick pick me up?

    I feel like spicy pickles would be good.

    1 wedge Laughing Cow cheese with 12 Special K Savory Herb crackers = 95 calories (double and you're still under 200)

    1 ounce pretzel thins with 3 tablespoons hummus = 200 calories, or half for 100--or replace pretzel thins with carrots for fewer calories--hummus varies by brand so check label

    1 serving nut mix: calories vary by brand--currently, I have on hand Planter's Almond Chocolate Crunch at 180 for 32g and Emerald Sweet n' Salty PB &J at 140 for 28g (I always weigh the nuts--they tend not to fit evenly in tablespoons and measuring cups)

    1 slice toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter = 130-180 depending on bread and PB

    1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese = 90 calories, add fruit for another 30-100 depending on kind

    Chobani pineapple = 160 calories

    Bagel thin (110) with cream cheese (cals depend on type)

    Trader Joe's mini dark chocolate bars--100 calories each

    You might find this one weird, but I really like to eat a whole cucumber sliced and dunked in a homemade dressing.I choose to salt the cucumber too because I don't add the salt to the recipe that the original called for.

    Salad Dressing:
    1/3 lemon juice
    2/3 Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1-2 cloves of garlic, crushed
    about 1/8-1/4 tsp of the spices of your choice ( I choose dried basil, dried parsley, and dried dill)

    You put all of that together into a bottle, shake it up to emulsify it, let it sit for at least an hour so that the tastes mingle, then shake it up and pour it.

    Ham and cheese roll up (100 calories) - 2 if Im really hungry.

    1 slice of ham (approx 30cals)
    1 slice of reduced fat cheese (I use sargento swiss cheese) - 70 cals

    Lay cheese on ham.
    Roll
    Munch

    This is quite filling, and keeps me going to next meal.

    Greek yogurt, pistachios or almonds, a low calorie cereal bar with at least 6-8g of protein, cheese & low cal or reduced fat crackers, 100 calorie popcorn mini bags. I also make a fruit cocktail salad by adding fresh fruit (melons, strawberries, bananas, etc) to canned/jarred no sugar added or in juice (no syrups) fruit cocktail, pineapple, and peaches etc. It gives me a little more of a sweet kick then just eating a piece of fruit.

    my best suggestion is to go for jerky!!! 120 cals in a 50g serving...very lean and healthy but the best part is the satiating effect of eating/snacking on this. does wonders for me.

    I like to keep a variety of things around just in case I either have a sweet or salty, crunchy or smooth attack. Carrots, cucumbers, jicama are great for that crunchy attack. Air popped popcorn as well. I love the 100 calorie packs of cookies, crackers , etc. that I can grab on the go and not have to worry about over eating. Sugar Free jello - with or without added fruit. Just a few ideas.

    I recommend, popcorn. Purchase your popcorn as bulk kernals, and if you don’t have an air popper, you can just put 1/4 cup of the kernals into a glass microwave safe bowl, cover it with a plate and microwave for 7 minutes. Cutting the oil out saves a great deal of calories, then instead of butter which is 200 cal for 2 tblsps, get Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, or soy sauce and put it in a small spritz bottle, spritzing it gently over the popcorn, giving you the moisture and salt, with barely any calories. I also add nutritional yeast to my popcorn, because it is delicious.
