    What on earth is Goldfish? Please don't tell me it is a fish :-s

    You see kids munching on them all the time. Cheddar cheese flavored crackers. Basically, cheese, oil, water, salt and a leavener.

    Oatmeal cookies!! Just find a recipe that you like online (I use the Harcombe Recipe for this one!) Uses porridge oats so it's cheap and low in calories ((: You can add raisins if you want, but I prefer not to (: xo

    Try microwave popcorn, light butter. 4 cups is under 100 calories!

    Carrot sticks + a small pot of low fat cream cheese for dipping. Tends to be my mid-afternoon snack - 100g carrots, 50g cream cheese, 130cals.

    A hard-boiled egg or two would be great too, nice and filling, but not a lot to keep your hands busy (unless you shell them at your desk, which can get you funny looks from co-workers..) - around 180cals, depending on the size of eggs.

    A handful of olives in a small tupperware box, and a cocktail stick to spear them with - around 130cals for 100g.

    I like ot munch on Turkey Pepperoni from time to time. It would take a mountain to get to 300 cal, and by that point you'd have eaten so much protein you'd be stuffed.


    Love this idea!

    Popcorn is my go-to. Or rice cakes.

    I tend to snack all day at work. My go-to snacks are:

    Almonds (or cashews)
    String cheese
    Turkey pepperoni
    Protein bars (I know.....a lot of chemical fillers but it keeps me from eating Snicker's bars and it has like 20g of protein and 200 calories)
    Apples
    Bananas
    Peanut butter
    Baby carrots
    Cucumbers

    Goldfish Crackers. Keeping fingers busy and mouths full for many years. Not my favorite (they taste kind of doughy to me)

    Popcorn, and the Special K cracker chip thingies are a decent portion for around a little over 100 cals.

    Also for a "quanity" snack, dry cereal Fiber One 80 calorie, Froot Loops, Lucky Charms, Honey Nut Cheerios, etc. Sorta empty sugar/carbs, but I tend to eat that after I'm sure my protein requirements will be met, and it's a sweet snack for around 100 cals. Also a fan of the Coco-pop cake thingies, either on their own, or with a wedge of laughing cow light spread on top; 50-60 cals. Nice and crunchy, and made of mostly air.

    Finally, I can nurse a bowl of blueberries for quite some time...

    I used to eat the emerald on the go granola packs until I found the BEAR NAKED granola packs! They are way less processed and less sugar, they are sweetened with honey and are delicious. you can find them at walmart

    I like Baked Cheetos, one serving is around 120 calories and about 30 pieces!

    And they're the only "baked" chip I've found, that doesn't taste baked. I can't tell a difference from the regular ones (although I've never had them side-by-side).

    I love the baked Cheetos and you are so right, they taste the same! Do not buy Pirates Booty rice puffs...they have zero taste and are a huge waste of money.
