What do you like to snack on? Looking for low calorie snacks that are tasty! E.g. I like to have caramel rice cakes they have around 60 per rice cake, what about you

    I don't really snack, I stick to three meals a day, and a fourth if I'm hungry, and/or something extra if I just want something - and then I'll eat the thing I want.

    Triscuits, cheese (string or bite-size like Babybel), or fruit (grapes, clementine oranges, apples, dried cherries)

    to me 50-200 calories is a snack sized portion of calories...chicken pepperettes...half a bagel with cream cheese....string cheese.....berries...baby carrots or cherry tomatoes... granola bars (i love larabars at work) dry cereal like cheerios is awesome, Piece of PB toast.

    I really have been on a granola bar kick though, Not sure why theres just so many yummy flavors. Larabars have a fudge like texture i love and fibre one has desert ones and a light peanutbutter one i love for my peanut butter cravings (Peanut butters calories break my heart...)

    Celery, all the time! So low calorie, and keeps you busy for a little while.

    Fruit, popcorn, string cheese, veggie dogs. And, at the moment, there's a lot of junk food in the house and I allow myself about 100 calories of it a day, but that's not typical and when it's gone, I won't be buying more.

    I agree with @kommodevaran

    Most people seem to snack in an attempt to take the edge off hunger. I find that most people fair better by consolidating their calories more... meaning pushing what would be snack calories into their actual meals. This way they're getting to eat full, satiating meals throughout the day and there's less time having to think about food.

    Beyond the fact that you're actually getting satiated and, thus, not accumulating deprivation... it's actually quite freeing in terms of mental energy, which you can dedicate toward other things that matter to you.

    Not that snacking is bad. If it's what works for you... by all means. Just wanted to offer an alternative.

    For my morning snack I usually have one to two pieces of Evolve Paleo Sweet Beef Jerky. Then for my afternoon snack I have one container of Evolve Paleo Buffalo Chicken tenders w/ carrots and almonds. I try to make sure my snacks have little to no sugar and sodium, and are high in protein. In my opinion having a regimented snack routine keeps me from eating foods that deter me from my goals.

    Baked kirkland protein bars (they're a cheaper quest bar that tastes better imo) or a small bowl of blackberries and cheerios
