Some days I really have the munchies, but I don't want to sabotage all my diet work. Please post your favorite snack ideas that are 150 calories or less.
Here's a couple of my favorites:
1T. flax seeds = 45 calories They are odd to eat, but give me a lot of "chewing" time & they soak up water.
Fresh spinach leaves 2c. = 30 calories. Again, a lot of chewing and sooooo filling. This also gives me an energy boost.
I really like the "non-traditional" snacks, too.
So, tell us what works for you!

Edamame - you can buy them in 8 oz bags and throw them in the microwave. Take the leftover and chill them in the fridge for another "snack" time. 1 serving is 90 calories and good source of protein. I like them bc you have to work for it so you eat slower and feel full sooner.

Fruits in general, especially strawberries, bananas, and apples. In the summer, I love to snack on frozen red grapes. They may be higher in natural sugars, but they are so good when it is hot outside.

I also just saw a recipe for Kale Chips...I want to try that.
Directions
1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
3. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.
The recipe that I saw on tv, you sprayed with Pam...and just lightly salted...0 -
