Low cal emergency snacks!

I thought I'd put some of my snacks on this thread that are under or around 100 calories

Tomato and cucumber mozzarella lettuce wrap (92 cal)
Chocolate mousse topped banana slices (81 cal)
Cucumber and cream cheese sandwich (38 cal)
Low-cal side salad (52 cal)
Granny smith sandwiches with cream cheese, peanut butter, and cheddar (200 cal for all three combined)
Bell pepper boats with cream cheese, Nutella, and cheddar (106 cal for all three combined)
Zucchini soup (98 cal)
Piping hot cherries and apple slices with cinnamon (92 cal)
Low-fat yoghurt and frozen summer fruit smoothie with cacao nibs (117 cal)
Low-fat quark with cherries and cocoa nibs (110 cal)
Simple four vegetable soup (52 cal)
Peanut butter and sesame chestnut mushroom treat (51 cal) (also works GREAT with Nutella for a 34 cal snack)

Quest bars, Chia bars, jerky (low sugar for me), string cheese, mhp protein pudding, frozen berries (Trader Joe's very berry medley). Eating those last two right now!

"Same for me. I tend to grab cucumber, bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms (with nutella! Mmmmm...), deli chicken slices, etc. straight from the fridge and eat it. Always fills me up!"

Mushrooms.. and nutella.. together?!

Try it, I dare you. Take a raw mushroom, remove the stem, fill with nutella. Eat. I know it sounds nuts, and if you dislike either ingredient, it's not going to do it for you, but I am absolutely addicted to those things

I like cherries and berries. Also Cottage cheese......I like Nancy's low fat cultured. Has a tang way more than normal cottage cheese.

Broccoli with a little bit of hummus
Sliced Cucumber w lime
Carrots
Cottags cheese and blueberries
Bell peppers and hummus

I'm so glad I read through this thread! There are so many great ideas to a common issue. I've run into this problem before. I usually went for sunflower seeds but they're high cal/sodium. My second fav go-to emergency snack is a cup of almond milk. But again, not necessarily low cal. Thanks for posting this! So many great ideas!!

Thank you! It is easy to get into the same old routine. After a year I needed to get some fresh ideas. I bookmarked your links to several of what looks to be my new favorites.

You are so very welcome! I am currently working on the perfect ~50 cal chocolate mug cake, as I have a mighty need Nothing better than easy (grain free) chocolate cake! I try to upload something new every day so I am sure it'll show up soon. I already added cheesy zucchini spaghetti (129 cal), deli chicken wrapped cucumber sticks (58 cal), and my delicious Nutella mushrooms (32 cal) since the previous post. Low cal snacks are my salvation!

I eat a handful of nuts - ok they are high in kcals but they fill you up nicely and are healthy

Am I the only one who does not feel full from nuts? I need at least two handfulls of the stuff to feel somewhat sated and that is a huge amount of calories!

A small apple works for me (~70 cal), or a large bell pepper (~30 cal) because it takes a lot of chewing. A little quark with some fruit is also great to sate the hunger (~70 cal) and of course things like munching on a cucumber or carrot. A few grams of chocolate also go a looooong way!

IF you eat salty nuts, do you wash it down with water? maybe you are mistaking hunger for thirst. I personally eat salt free nuts.

Unsalted. I need about 700 calories worth to make a dent in my hunger with nuts. I need about the same in fatty meats, by the way (sausage, etc., and steak). Yet, give me 100 calories worth of dried raisin and I'll feel full up. My body is weird.
