Favorite 100(ish) calorie snacks?
I've been on MFP for a week now and am learning so much from you all, thank you!
What are some of your favorite "snacks"? I don't care what time of day or style of snacking you use, just trying to get creative.
Today I stumbled upon a delicious idea:
Dip skinless chicken drumsticks in skim milk, then bread and bake at 375 for 45 minutes. I made a bunch so I can have 2 a day.
Panko Bread Crumbs, 1/8 cup (28)
Chicken Leg Without Skin (76) =
104 calories of goodness, so crispy!
*I didn't count the milk calories but I guess it would be about 5? I don't know...it's a quick dip.
I'm only concentrating on calories right now, don't want to get too crazy stressed about all amounts of everything else. I just quit smoking this month, too.

Good plan with focusing on cals first. I did that, too for the first two months and lost 17 lbs. Now that I am comfortable with the cals, I am working on eating healthier and hitting my nutrition goals. I track fat, carbs, protein, sodium and sugar and I'm excited to start learning and tweaking those numbers. Good timing, too because I lost 0 lbs. last week.
To answer your question, I found this list of 100-calorie snacks on WebMD:
1. Half an apple with 2 teaspoons of peanut butter
2. An orange and a few dry-roasted nuts
3. 10 cashew nuts
4. 10 almonds
5. 2 ounces of lean roast beef
6. Half a small avocado
7. 3 ounces cooked whole-grain noodles with 1 fresh tomato and 1/2 ounce hard cheese
8. 1 seven-grain Belgian waffle
9. 4 mini rice cakes with 2 tablespoons low-fat cottage cheese
10. 3 ounces low-fat cottage cheese and 3 whole-wheat crackers
11. 1/4 cup fat-free ranch dressing with mixed raw veggies
12. 6 Wheat Thins crackers with two teaspoons of peanut butter (or any nut butter)
13. 1 small baked potato with 1/2 cup salsa and 2 tablespoons of fat-free sour cream
14. 1/3 cup of unsweetened applesauce with 1 slice of whole-wheat toast, cut into 4 strips for dunking
15. 1/2 cup frozen orange juice, eaten as sorbet
16. 2 large graham cracker squares with 1 teaspoon peanut butter
17. 3 handfuls of unbuttered popcorn, seasoned with herbs
18. 4-6 ounces of no-fat or low-fat yogurt
19. A 5-ounce tossed salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and 1/4 cup fat-free dressing
20. Half a "finger" of string cheese with 4 whole-wheat crackers

My favorite is 100 calorie kettle korn microwave bags.
Healthiest is probably an Apple. I eat a lot of both, they keep me full and get me through my 3:00 munchie attack

How did you quit smoking, I can't seem to kick it? Dieting, quitting smoking, and adding more exercise is a hard trio to accomplish.0 -
That is a great list of snacks, thanks.0

Oikos Greek Yogurt with Blueberry! YUM!0 -

for jltdinga:
I am by no means, a health nut so some would probably hate my quitting method however:
Choose a date and stick with it. You will always have stress, it's never the right time, just do it on the day you say you will. I found having way too many cocktails out with hubby and friends the night before made it that much easier to quit the next day because I felt like crap anyway.
I started with the highest patch level after 1 cigarette the morning of my quit date (needed that last goodbye). I remove my patch at night because the dreams are CRAZY! if you're into that sort of thing, have fun but I didn't sleep well at all and felt way too anxious every morning .
Cleaned out my car top to bottom, and got a "smoke-eater" air freshener.
Cut out my morning coffee routine which used to be an hour of coffee and smoking on the patio. Instead, I drink Arizona diet iced tea or something with caffiene that doesn't trigger the coffee routine.
Used 3-4 pieces of Nicorette throughout the day for the first week when the urge REALLY had a moment with me (store brand knock-off is much cheaper)
Popped a low-dose xanax every morning for the first few days.
Ate 5-6 pickles spears a day, yes the sodium is intense but whatever. Endless carrot sticks, celery with low cal cream cheese & paprika, hard boiled eggs, wheat thins, all things snacky.
Walked my dogs an extra half hour a night.
And the saddest part, I cut out wine for the first couple of weeks. That was tough, but again- a trigger.
So bottom line...Stick to a quit date, Know your triggers, Stock up on healthy snacks, Exercise. Do whatever it takes and don't let anyone judge your method.
Haven't had a smoke in 30 days and barely miss it.
I am putting $35 a week (what I would be spending on smokes) in the bank for my wedding on November 5, 2011. That's $1400 extra dollars.
Here is a great list of pros and cons that inspired me as well: http://quitsmoking.about.com/cs/nicotinelozenges/a/zoeslist.htm
Hope that helps, write me any time! It is do-able!!!! If you find yourself wanting more calories (totally natural) don't beat yourself up. You are quitting a habit far worse than extra snacking for a couple of weeks.0 -
