Hi! I tend to feel peckish quite often but I wanna eat healthier/cleaner/lower calorie snacks. Any ideas on what I should snack on??

    baby carrots are my go to snack. I portion out some ranch so I don't go crazy with that. But I could snack on carrots all day..

    +1 for using the word "peckish" :bigsmile:

    Baby carrots and Bolthouse Farms dressing is my go to.

    Also PopChips but the key there is to open the bag, COUNT out how many you are going to eat and then put the bag away before eating even one!

    Lots of brands have 100 calorie bags of microwave popcorn. Or you can get a special bowl for about 8 bucks online or in stores to microwave your own loose popcorn, saving some money and calories over the microwave kind.

    ^^ Here Here^^ One of my favorite words! Depending on where I'm at with my calorie goal I hit the carrots for their crunch and low caloric impact or an apple for its juicy sweetness. During the evening I'll often eat a single serving 100 cal bag of microwave popcorn.

    handful of almonds, pumpkin seeds, or an apple with some almond butter. Delicious. Protein is best to snack on, as it fills you up and keeps you full longer

    saltines work for me. (i like whole wheat.) 60 calories for 5. carrots and uncooked green beans are good, too!

    aaples
    walnuts, almonds, pistachios
    if you crave for sugar raisins, mango
    banana is another snack, but I only have them if I am very hungry and have to wait for a long time till dinner
    carrots and celery are very low in calorie and fills you up
    low fat yogurt
