    Special K cracker chips. Literally just found them in the vending machine at work. 90 calories for the vending machine size bag.

    I also like fiber bars when I want something sweet, which are also 90 calories.

    Raw fruits and veggies are always good, too.

    Nuts are good, protein and good fat. High in calories though, so 150 calories adds up quickly. Nuts are also good for helping with satiety.

    Genuinely curious why you would only eat half an apple?

    Things like 90 calorie bags of chips or cookies aren't really a great snack option. They have no good nutritional value and will leave you hungry. Don't get me wrong, I indulge once and a while, but I would stick to some fruits/vegetables with a protein. You could also make your own granola bars and control the sugar that goes in it.

    Raw bliss balls are fantastic- low sugar high protein and full of good fats so they really fill you up. Personally I use almonds, cacao powder, shredded coconut, coconut oil and chia seed and pitted dates. They are around the 150 calorie mark depending on size. Plus they taste amazing so you feel satisfied.

    For 150 calories you could have 4 clementines (Halos, Cuties, mandarin oranges, tangerines = 35-40 cal. ea.) or 3 light string cheese sticks (50 cal. ea.) or some combination thereof.

    String cheese (some are 50 calories), Cucumbers with a salad dressing or hummus, a low calorie ice cream like Edy's or Turkey Hill, 1 tablespoon peanut butter & an apple, banana & 1 tablespoon peanut butter, square of dark chocolate.

    Here are some of my favorite snack ideas:

    -1/4 cup of nuts (I go for the raw,unsalted ones to keep sodium down)
    -An apple, banana, or pear with a Tbsp. of peanut or almond butter
    - A couple cups of plain or lightly sea-salted air popped popcorn
    - A greek yogurt with granola or almonds mixed in
    - Cottage cheese with fresh fruit
    - Protein bar (Quest Bars are my all time favorite! 20+ grams protein and very low sugar/carb)
    - Carrot sticks, celery sticks, baby tomatoes, sugar snap peas, broccoli, cauliflower, or pepper slices dipped in a couple Tbsp. of hummus
    - Celery sticks with 2 Tbsp. almond or peanut butter
    - A slice of whole wheat bread with 1 Tbsp. peanut or almond butter
    - 1/2 c- 1 c cereal with almond or 2% milk (go for a cereal high in fiber and low in sugar)
    - A serving of whole wheat crackers and hummus or guacamole

    The OP only has 150 calories left. Probably making suggestions that would fit, if you want to add a little peanut butter as well.

    Supposedly it has a lot more calories than it claims & tastes like cardboard.
