Low calorie snack ideas

My go to snacks, besides fruit, are Emerald Almonds (100 cal pack) and Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt (80 cal). I like to eat snacks high in protein to help with satiety.

Popcorn is really low calorir

Rice cake smeared with peanut butter! Can't go to bed without it, I'm afraid.

Another one of my go to snacks as well. Sometimes I'll put a little PB2 on it.

I like chia seed pudding. If you are careful with the serving size it can be pretty low cal

I love SF Jello with either cool whip or nonfat yogurt and add fresh fruit

sugar free chocolate pudding squirt of reddi whip 75 calories, baked apple with cinnamon , fage greek yoguert with splenda and cinnamon drop by tbs on wax paper, freeze, yogurt "drops", popcorn 3 cups, frozen banana.

I love tzatziki for snacks, but I have such a "sour-tooth". For sweet I do chocolate. A mini kitkat is 96 calories, or 2-3 squares of dark chocolate. Marshmallows, half a cup has 80 or so calories. One of my most favorite snacks is sunflower or pumpkin seeds in shell. You take your time shelling them so a small serving seems to last forever. If you have access to flatbread you can make low calorie rolls. The trick is to find the thinnest bread you can find so you could go crazy on the filling. I also do mini Phyllo cups filled with whatever I want.

Low Calorie Grain Bars, Seasoned Quorn Chicken pieces are delicious and low Cal, Jelly, Popcorn, Baked Apple and Cinnamon Crisps - Saw this recently on TV (Slice an apple very thinly, dust with a little icing sugar or sweetener, dust with cinnamon, spray lightly with a little cooking oil and bake until crisp) - Hope these suggestions help! I also love the idea of Yoghurt drops x

Arctic Zero Frozen Dessert. It's like ice cream but not quite as good but a whole pint is around 150 calories. So i guess if you eat a serving which is 1/4 pint, do the math.

I snack throughout the day rather than eat set meals also. Fruit, nuts and veggies covers most of mine, but also roasted garbanzos. Rinse a can, pat dry and wipe off the skins to keep from exploding in the oven. Drizzle with olive oil and bake on a cookie sheet at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes until crunchy. Season as you like. I'm not a big fan of garbanzos, but these are really good and not pasty. I take a hard boiled egg to work 2 or 3 times a week. I am a big fan of Genovo Tonno (Tuna) in olive oil. I get the 3 oz pop top cans by the case from Amazon and per ounce it is as inexpensive as, or less than, the cheap Bumblebee and Chicken of the Sea foil packages and tastes ooohhh sooo much better. I keep some spices in a desk drawer, sprinkle some on top and eat out of the can at my desk. Plus it doesn't have a strong odor, so I get no complaints from my co-workers. Most store bought jerky is too high in sodium for me, but you can make your own in a slow oven. Use the leanest cut of meat you can find and trim off the fat.

Apart from apples, i freeze grapes, weight watchers fromage frais yoghurts. They're lovely. Also Whitworths range of choc/dried fruit or nuts vary between 59 cals to 89. Very nice.
