What are some things you like to eat that are low in calories and you can eat a lot of them? I like pickles and all natural microwave popcorn (a whole bag). I'm always looking for ideas!

    Fat free sugar free yoghurts, pumpkin seeds, hard-boiled eggs, quest bars, oh yeah bars, cottage cheese, canned tuna packed in spring water/brine with a squeeze of lemon on top, protein powder mixed with skim milk or water. I do ALOT of exercise: 1 hour on an exercise bike plus at least 10 000 steps each day. So a lot of my snacks, I try and include high amounts of protein in them otherwise I'm not just hungry...I starve. I try and have fruit with a meal as if it was an in between snack my hunger would just be out of control.

    Dry honey nut cherrios - 220 calories for 56 grams is a decent amount to snack on. Even fewer calories if you eat the plain cheerios.

    Frozen blueberries; a cup is less than 100 calories.

    Fresh fruit, I love fresh fruit, currently tucking in to a big bowl of homemade fruit salad (sharon fruit, mango, lychees, kiwi fruit, grapes, passion fruit, blackberries, blueberries,raspberries and strawberries) satisfies my sweet tooth, fills me up and <250 Calories. Even better I've got another bowl full to snack on tomorrow.

    Ants on a log is fun cuz it takes time to assemble and eat, and can all be done in while on a Netflix or Hulu binge for relatively few cals.

    Even fewer if you use laughing cow wedge per 100g of celery instead of pb. I also use craisins instead of raisins but I don't think cals too different there.

    Surimi seafood sticks (although maybe this is just a UK thing?) They are basically just protein and water, a serving of 4 is remarkably satisfying to keep hunger at bay between meals and for just 67 calories it's a win!

    I was trying to think of snacks I eat that I can eat lot of, and I realized something. I usually pre-log, and I try to select snacks that will satisfy my hunger, not that will give me something to crunch on or eat mindlessly (which is what I used to do, hence my excess weight).

    These are in my usual rotation:
    Carrots or celery and hummus or guac
    Wasa cracker with cheese and PB
    Cheese and a piece of fruit
    Yogurt with berries and nuts

    They all have carbs, protein or fat, and fiber. I think that's the formula that works for me.

    Yesterday I bought a bag of cinnamon roasted almonds...boy that was a mistake for me as they were so good and crunchy I overdid. Staying away from them today as I find eating just the 1/4 cup serving almost impossible, but yesterday was just a bad day for me anyway. I also picked up at cvs a bag of kettle corn just the basics, very good and the serving size is good, even if you end up eating the entire bag, lol. But yesterday I was running back and forth to the hospital with a sick relative and instead of eating my proper meals and snacks I overdid on this stuff and this morning I had a 1 lbs 4 oz weight gain. :( though I believe its water retention from all the sodium and I haven't gone to the bathroom in two days. So today back on track for me.
