You have 100 calories left to eat, what do you snack on to fill it?

I'm noticing that I always have around 100 calories left, and while I could just wrap up my day I'd rather find something to fill that void, like a little snack to reward myself.

Any suggestions?

    I have 83 calories left - I'm about to buy a single serve bag of jerky for 70 calories.

    I love sliced broccoli stems or carrot sticks dipped in salsa. The salsa is 35 calories (pace chunky hot) per 1/4 cup and that leaves enough calories for about a cup of veggies.

    If it's almost bed time and I'm not hungry - nothing. If I still have an hour or two left to my night and I'm hungry - boiled egg whites or one whole boiled egg, fruit, a cup of yogurt, dry cereal...

    If I'm hungry, veggies. If not, a 100 calorie ice cream bar, or some chocolate.

    Sweet
    Edy's slow churned caramel delight ice cream. One of my fave ice creams and is 110 cals a half cup. They have other flavors too but I love the caramel.
    Grapefruit 106 per fruit
    Grapes, orange, apple, banana
    Berries with a splash of milk/half and half/tbsp of heavy cream with a bit of splenda
    4 Andes mints (like they give out at Olive Garden)
    Toast with butter, cinnamon, and sugar
    A couple of squares of really good chocolate. Splurge and get the really good stuff and savor it. Preferably dark.

    Salty
    In shell sunflower seeds. Even 50 cals worth is quite a bit, takes a while to eat, and fills me up.
    Pretzels (with or without pb)

    Crunchy
    Any kind of veggies (carrots, broccoli, celery and zucchini are my favorites) with ranch dip made from plain greek yogurt and ranch mix. 100 cals is actually a LOT.
    Celery with peanut or almond butter (carefully measure p/a butter)
    Pretzels (with or without pb)
    Crackers/toast/pretzels/celery/? with laughing cow cheese wedge (35 cals)
    Plain popcorn with salt/garlic/herbs no or add a little of your own butter.

    Warm
    Half can of light progresso soup. Chicken pot pie is my favorite.
    1 egg scrambled with small amount of cheese (laughing cow?) or a slice of bacon or a handful of veggies

    Protein
    Jerky
    Hard boiled egg (70 cals so add some...?) or 1 egg scrambled with small amount of cheese (laughing cow?) or a slice of bacon or a handful of veggies
    Protein shake (Dymatize iso has 106 cals a scoop)
    Lettuce rolls: lettuce leaf, turkey (or other meat), small amount of cheese, salsa/smear of ranch/mustard/honey mustard...?
    String cheese
    Yogurt (preferably greek, preferably plain with your own fruit/sweetener added)
    Can of tuna with salsa/garlic/mustard/hot sauce.

    Alcohol
    4-5oz of cabernet or other non-sweet red wine
    1.5oz clear liquor with soda water and a wedge of lemon/lime (or diet anything)
    Gross light beer

    This came up tonight. I thought about popcorn but wasn't that hungry and it was kind of late, so I had some nuts.

    Sometimes I have a bit of cheese.

    Yep air popped pop corn. I recently got one after giving mine away 25 years ago as I didn't like it. Thought it tasted like styrofoam. Felt like eating sucked the moisture out of me. I had some Christmas money and thought what the heck. I'll return it if it's still yucky. It wasn't. Do I eat so healthily now that I enjoy air popped popcorn? Weird, but enjoyable.

    It would depend on your macros and of course on what you feel like, but I'd go for:
    An apple
    Some low fat quark with berries
    A few nuts
    Air popped popcorn
    A piece of extra dark chocolate and a mandarin orange
    A rice cake with cottage cheese and honey or 10gr peanut butter
    2 kiwis, or any other fruit really
    Veggie sticks and hummus
    A boiled egg
    A glass of almond milk hot chocolate or chai
    A small piece of homemade banana bread
    A microwave mug cake

    100 calories left. .. if i'm STARVING.. then I'd go for some broccoli with garlic powder and basil.

    If I just want something sweet, I would go for 1 shortbread biscuit (chocolate biscuit if I've got them) or 100 calories of another treat in the pantry. I always have a few different chocolate treats. Right now I have these pretzel-chocolate-caramel-sea-salt clumps. 100 calories is about 1 clump.

    2% cottage cheese is my go-to for under 100 calorie snacks. You can spice it up to :)

    There's so many options:

    100 calorie bag of popcorn (or any 100 calorie bagged snacks--there's lots of them available, even some chips)
    A small tablespoon of peanut butter
    Glass of skim milk (steamed and add a bit of no cal sweetener & vanilla for a warm treat)
    A big plate of steamed veggies
    A small portion of chicken breast
    1 string cheese (2% fat mozzarella to keep it under 100)
    Plain yogurt w/ stevia and cinnamon
    "Poor man's" mocha--brewed coffee with 1/2 packet of hot chocolate mix and a touch of milk--this is my favorite one :)

    Luigi's brand strawberry or lemon Italian ice cup. They are a good size and take awhile to eat. Feels like a satisfying dessert/ice cream type treat for 100 cals!

    A hard cooked egg.

    I cook up a dozen at a time and keep them in the fridge so they are always available.
