I'm looking for some low-cal things to eat along with my meals. I've been eating some baked chips and some air popped popcorn, but I'm looking to spice up my meals. Anyone know of anything great that will compliment my main meal?

    or right now those little oranges are super good.

    I like the large dill pickles. Only about 5 calories, crunchy, juicy, cold, it's a party in your mouth! Not gonna help if you're looking for something sweet though. Good luck.

    Sugar Free (not Fat Free) Jello Pudding Snacks - 60 Calories.
    I love me some pudding snacks, and they don't taste like poo just cause they are "diet food".

    Yoplait Light Yogurt - 100 Calories
    I usually have one with lunch.

    2% String Cheese - 90 Calories
    The protien from the cheese also helps you "feel full" and keep the hungry feeling away.

    Home made fruit Salad (3oz Pineapple, 3-4 Cut Large Strawberries, Cantalope or Grapes ) - Roughly 50-60 Calories
    For some reason, it just tastes better when I cut the stuff up at home and throw it in a tupperware dish to take to work.
