    Not great for protein, again, but homemade baba ganoush or guacamole are delicious. Calories will depend on the specifics of how you make them. You can dip veggies in them if you want to save calories.

    I eat almost no processed food but stock these go-to "processed" snacks: kale chips (massive nutrition profile including a rare vegetarian source of B12), Chia Pods (coconut milk and chia seeds, great for energy and omega 3's), kombucha (again massive B vitamin profile including B12), fresh, bottled and dried coconut in various forms (energy, lauric acid) and occasionally chocolate mint Pro Bars (not THE healthiest but convenient & lots of protein & satisfies that craving for something "bad"). Once an awhile, a small piece of very dark chocolate.

    Snapea Crisps - I don't know the nutritional info off hand, but they're certainly not healthy. I think they're fried. I can easily eat an entire bag though.

    Almond butter + dates - so good...

    OMG, I can go through an entire Costco sized bag of those Snapea Crisps. Soooooo good. I love the Wasabi flavor!

    They are 5 cal each. And so good! This article makes me sad though. http://healthyeatingrocks.com/2012/08/15/food-labeling-lies/

    I love those dried seaweed squares. Thankfully, they're low in calories.

    I love the mandarin oranges/clementines they advertise for the kids: Halos, Cuties, etc. Sweet, seedless, easy to peel, and 35 cal. each.

    In summer - freeze a small tetra juice or milk and you have a big ice block that takes ages to eat. Most of the time I only get through 1/2 at a sitting.

    I had a cookies and cream quest bar earlier today, tastes like it's bad for you. But it's definitely not.

    Love quest bars
