Low calorie "munchie" type snacks

I'm not big on snacking. I'd rather allocate those calories to a meal. I've found that deprivation tends to accumulate over time if we're never truly satiating ourselves... which a lot of people tend to do when they spread their calories out over a lot meals and snacks. By consolidating things... ya tend to keep that inner rebel happy.

But sometimes you just have to snack. I keep it simple personally. I love popcorn. I also love jello. Neither are very satiating to me, though.

Pop chips. 120 calories per 28g serving is pretty good. I don't get them too often, though.

Baby carrots with a dash of salt are my favorite low-cal snack.

pork rinds

Dill pickles! Salty, crunchy, and low calorie.

Cucumbers and vinegar!! I also like pickles, popcorn with seasoning, jello, grape tomatoes, buckeyes (mine were only 100 cals), chips and salsa, 100 cal snack packs, apples and caramel, hard candies like werthers, small guacamole packs, hummus, one piece of toast, mini bagels, cereal, etc.

I love to snack. I eat a big bowl of popcorn and a small (weighed out) cup of m&ms every night before bed. Hasn't hindered my weight loss, 90 lbs down and in maintenance for 6 months! I prefer a more filling afternoon snack though. My favorite is Chobani Greek yogurt crunch things, only 100 calories but 12 g of protein and pretty filling.

Last week, my hubby and I went to the movies and had popcorn and Reeces pieces. We decided to dump them in the popcorn. Yummy!

I get these very low calorie mango dried chips at Fresh Market. They come in individual bags. 40 calories per bag. Very satifying because of the sweetness and the crunch. They have other fruits as well.

Laughing cow cheese wedges and veggies/rice crackers

Stemable cheese and broccoli packets

Cucumbers/carrots and Greek yogurt based ranch

Carrot chips and hummus

Goldfish crackers (you get so many/serving)

Fruit leather

Smoothie with fruit, baby kale/spinach, and almond milk

Canned tuna with chopped up pickle(s), a little mayo/miracle whip, a little mustard, and spices

Lemon pepper tuna packets (so yummy, can add crackers)

Animal crackers (again, you get so many/serving)

Plain ol cereal like cheerios (I eat it piece by piece)

Oatmeal/cream of wheat (about 100-150 cal/ea)

Apple sauce

Turkey roll ups with laughing cow cheese and a pickle spear in the middle

String cheese

Popcorn (I know it sounds weird, but I dip it in mustard/hot sauce for extra flavor)

Cashew nuts or other types of nuts with fruits AND Kombucha !!

My daily calorie count is pretty low, so I have to make sure my snacks are also very low. My three "go to" snacks are:

Skinny Pop Popcorn - 100 calories worth
Snack Bag of Baby Carrots and 2 TBSP of Chobani Mezze Dip, any flavor - around 75 calories. The Chobani Dip is 25 calories for 2 TBSP and it's really good.
Outshine Grape Fruit Bar for when I need a sugary treat - 60 calories.

I keep a supply of these 5 calorie gelatin containers on hand, for a snack attack. Are they good? Nope, good enough though to take me from a state "must..eat...food...NOW!!!" to turning that switch off.

Note - this is for when my planned snacks aren't enough.

Pretzels, goldfish, penut butter, cheese its. Healthy snacks.

meat.

I love navel oranges. I eat them segment by segment and completely remove all of the peel, so it takes time and lets me fill up instead of eating a quick snack and wanting more.
