I eat dill pickles. Zero calories and the crunch helps with the snack thing ( for me). Whenever I am hungry I grab a couple.0

If you have a Kroger around, the Carbmaster yogurt is awesome. Great macros and great taste. 60 calories.

Celery and carrots are always a good low calorie snack. A fat burning food by definition is a food that takes more calories to digest than it does to consume it. An example of this would be celery. It takes us more energy to actually chew up a piece of celery and the body to then digest the celery than the calories in the entire stick of celery.0

Browse your supermarket for things that come in small portion size bags
Of course fruit and veggies are awesome and you can have heaps for few calories but if your like me I dont always have time and/or money to buy and prepare those things so I like the prepacked portions of savoury and sweet stuff like I listed which I know I can snack on without feeling quilty, just keep an eye on the small print on the label, and choose the options that fit within your daily calorie goal, and you'll be sweet0 -
I love Special K's sweet and salty popcorn crackers..... Also Laughing Cow light cheese.... Quick, easy, low cal.0

I keep cut up vegetables and reduced fat cheese ready for snacking. The cheese helps keep me full and the vegetables keep it low calorie. Sugar free Jello or sugar free pudding snack cups are great for when I'm in the mood for something sweet. ( only 10-60 calories)0
