    I love a heap of baby spinach leaves for the main part of my lunch, with a few bacon bits and cheese (feta if I have it) for some protein and flavor, and a light lemon-poppyseed dressing. It's usually around 200 calories depending on how much stuff I add--hard to push it up to 300--and it's surprisingly filling and energizing.

    Lately, I've been taking about 3 celery stalks with 2 tbsp of peanut butter to put on them (cut up) and then 25 raisins to put them on the celery and peanut butter...That's basically my whole lunch...plus an apple, 1oz of cheese, and a hard boiled egg.

    I like the 100 calorie snack packs, the jello mousse temptations (60 calories) or hungry girl cupcakes! I make a big batch, freeze them and then pop one in the microwave when I need something cakey. I also top with a little fat free cool whip.
    smart pop popcorn mini bags- 100 cals a bag.
    california cuties are my fave fruit snack.

    To the lady that eats raisins on her peanut butter! I just discovered a dried berry from the bulk store they are called Inca berries. Mixed with nuts(almonds and walnuts are my fav) dried Goji berries it would be an amazing trail mix!!

    I completely understand where you are coming from. I was getting REALLY sick of the same old foods, so I started looking EVERYWHERE for 100 calorie or less snacks. I have a nice list, but my very favorites right now are:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/140236-nutella-banana-wontons-w-pic-60-calories-ea

    They were DELICIOUS and they held for awhile. I only made myself one, and was surprised at how good and filling for a snack it was. They are 60 calories each and so technically you could get away with 2 as a snack. Plus, now that I have discovered wonton wrappers, I can think of all sorts of things to stuff inside. YUM!
