Okay so I don't know about you but, my late night gaming almost always takes a toll on my stomach and I'm foraging the pantry for snacks to tide me over until morning. Anyone got a favorite low calorie snack they keep around to tide you over without blowing your calorie goal?

Right now I eat the Fiber One Brownies at 90 calories/ brownie

    I generally just stay away from 'fake' foods like that. Eat fruits and veggies. They fill you up more

    Dark Chocolate or Yogurt Covered raisin (170ish calories per 35 pieces) help if I want something sweet. If I want something salty or savory, I'll go for the pretzel sticks and hummus. Pretzel sticks are about 100 calories for 50 sticks. Hummus is about 60 calories for 2 tbsp.

    If I want something sweet, I'll try drinking a chai tea with milk and sweetener first to see if that takes away my cravings, which it usually does. If I want something salty I'll make air-popped popcorn and add a bit of low calorie margarine and salt; the fiber in the popcorn will fill you up. Plus it's delicious.

    I normally just drink a lot when I am playing, Keeps me from craving food and gets me up to pee so a little exercise ;)

    My husband did the same while playing GW2 yesterday. He grabbed a cupcake from the fridge, some chips, some crackers...

    I tend to cut up an apple and grab some nuts. =B

    Individual serving bags of popcorn.. Most have 100 or 150 calories. Plus you'll still have one hand free for the keyboard or mouse lol

    ^ yup i second the individual bags of popcorn, that plus lots of water usually tides me over. I always gotta be careful, though, that I don't stay up so late that I get too ravenous for that to work :) At some point in the night my body decides if we aren't sleeping we better be eating, lol
