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.0

lowfat ricotta cheese. It has less fat and sodium than cottage cheese and more protein. Can mix it with unlimited things!0

OK--this one is sinful...kinda. I love Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches. 140 cals to keep me sane.0

Large Rice cake with tsp of Almond butter and tsp jam (raspberry is good!). Nice and easy to make, just need to use a spoon to make sure you are not overdoing the AB and Jam.0

Hey thanks! I needed some fresh ideas!0

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.
