100 calories or less snacks

an orange or a small apple (if you choose apple, I mean REALLY small apple, if you don't have access to a scale)

1 cookie (find a kind that doesn't trigger cravings and is fairly substantial for a cookie -- like Leclerc Celebration Dark Chocolate 70% cocoa)

Iogo Moment yoghurt cups are 140, but thick, creamy, and surprisingly filling. (Really. And I know, they're tiny, but they work well for me.) There may be other yoghurt cups that would work well for you if this isn't available or 140 is too much.

hot cocoa. You can even mix your own with cocoa powder and adding your own sugar / agave / whatever, which can help bring the calorie count down a bit. Should be <100 or around 100 (or a bit over) if packaged.

veggies and salsa or labneh (mine is 90 cals for 1/4 cup, so you could make it work). (bell peppers, zucchini, whatever you like raw)

there are probably brands of crackers where a serving is around 100. 7 crackers from Sensible Portions Pita Bites Sea Salt are <100. (1 serving is 9 crackers, but comes in over)

8-9 kalamata olives

if you shop around, you may be able to find bread where 1 slice is low enough calories to fit on something carefully portioned (like peanut butter or whatever you like)


-- Do remember though that you can eat back exercise calories with MFP, because it is designed to have you account for them after the fact (whereas other programs/methods account for it up front). So that would help with the 1200 budget also.

100 calorie almond packs!! I also love those breakstone cottage cheese 90 calorie containers. Dannon makes a 80 calorie greek yogurt. It's big and really filling. A banana works, too.

If you're just looking for something to munch on and aren't necessarily hungry, air-popped popcorn is only slightly more than 100 cals for 4 cups (and I'm sure that can be easily portioned down to fit inside the 100-cal mark). I've recommended it in three threads now, but it's my go-to when I have the desire to snack and want something that'll last a while.

Cheese sticks (90 calories)
Dannon Greek Light & Fit yogurt (80 calories)
Fiber One Brownie bars (90 calories)
Kellogg's Special K Brownies (80 calories)
Fruit
Any ice cream (120-270 calories per serving)

Creamsicles are 70 calories and awesome!

an apple, or a banana are pretty low on calories, but very nutrient dense. pears and oranges too.

My go to list is string cheese light-50 cals

Lunchbox size raisins-90 cals

Some grapes or blueberries- varys on how much you use

If you can find some small apples that fit into like kid size hand(mine happen to be the size of a ten yr olds so it works) can come in under 100. I can only find them at Kroger.

Some pepperoni but, that is high sodium if you watch that.

Pudding packs from 90 to 60 cals depending on the flavor and such.

Many more if you measure out the right portion.

dried edamame. there are 100 calorie packs I got at Big Lots. Actually, Big Lots has lots of snacks, surprisingly.

I was set at 1200 calories too, but mentally it was to restrictive. I bumped it up 100 calories and what a difference it made for me. Most days I don't need the extra 100, but just knowing it was there for days I need it (especially for during PMS) it helps me cope better.

My favorite 100 or less calorie snacks are...
Fiber One 90 Calorie Bars
Sugar Snap Peas
Blueberries
Baby Carrots
Celery
Breakstone Cottage (Cheese) Doubles (In Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry or Pineapple Flavors.)
Calbee Snapea's (In Wasabi, Black Pepper or Lightly Salted Flavors)
Can of Starkist Tuna
Can of Bumblebee Tuna

If you don't mind going a little higher..
Yoplait Fruplait Strawberry is 110 Calories and very filling.

-Chobani simply 100 greek yogurt, 12 grams protein 5 grams fiber
-100 calorie microwave popcorn bags
-fruit
-vegetables
-Quaker popped mini rice cakes, the caramel are 110 calories
-deli meats (you could get 4 ounces of turkey breast or lean ham for 100 calories)

It's probably not the "cheat-ish" answer you're looking for, but 100g of cut up carrots is going to be a lot more nutritious and filling than 2 oreos. A 160g apple; some green beans or cauliflower with butter and seasoning on them. Look for healthy snacks that will fill you up

I only have 1200 calories a day, and it's so easy to go go over. Sometimes I need a little bite but I need to stock up on snacks that wont break my calorie bank.
Here's what I have so far:

2pack oreos (the seemed geared for kids' lunches)
breakstones's cottage cheese with pineapple (the cups)

Anything else you rely on?

Greek yogurt is #1
Eggs
Coffee (skim milk/Splenda)
Just discover Fudge sickle are only 40 calories
There's tons of 100 or 90 calorie bars

Popsicles are nice for the summer, and they range from sugar free at 5 calories, to around 80 for the standard or real-juice ones (but watch those large 'frozen fruit bar' things... some of those pack a LOT of carbs/sugar/calories).

Berries, carrots with a dab of hummus, or string cheese are also favorites for me.

I love snacking on frozen grapes. They are so good. They also last a little longer than if they weren't frozen and you feel more satisfied when you eat them.

Almonds, a clementine, a Granny Smith apple with almond butter, red seedless grapes, pitted cherries, string cheese and yoplait light yogurt are a few of my favorite snacks to munch on while at work or out and about running errands.
