Wow, that depends on my craving. I do use fresh fruit as a sort of mandatory between meal snack to avoid getting too hungry. And that's probably my best bang for minimal calories. Nuts are great when I'm not getting enough protein, or crave something slightly salty. Not exactly low calorie, but well inside my budget for snacks. And they really do have a more lasting reduction in my hunger. Oh, pistachios in the shell are fantastic because they take so long to eat a serving that it feels like you are eating way more than you actually are.
Then we just go off into everything imaginable. My wife bought chocolate chip cookies the other day that were 80 calories each, and decent size for the calories too. I found that one or two of those was an excellent way to make me feel like I wasn't dieting. Whitman puts out a couple of controlled portion chocolates under the Weight Watchers brand that hit the spot when I NEED candy. I find tons of things that fit in the under 150 calorie budget I allocate, so its all about portion control.
And a current favorite...Peeled Snacks dried fruits. They are a little hard to find, though Starbucks is now carrying them. I bought a bunch of single serving bags from the company's website and keep one in my briefcase at all times. They tend to satisfy a candy craving a lot better than fresh fruit.0 -
