Low calorie snack

What’s considered low cal to you? I like carrots (not baby carrots, I like to cut my own) or bake a pita bread until it’s crispy and red pepper hummus, cottage cheese, apples (sometimes w pb if I can “afford” the cals), yogurt .. you can basically eat whatever you want just stay within your calorie goal.

1. Fresh cut veggies, all types, all colors. If you have to have a dip, get a light ranch dressing and thin it with non-fat milk. Different textures are important; I'll nosh on grape tomatoes and a leaf of romaine.
2. Half a granny smith apple and a babybel sharp cheddar.
3. 12 almonds. Count 'em out, chew one by one.
4. Stick pretzels. Count 'em into servings and put in little snack ziplocs. Have some sort of protein with it; I like string cheese.
5. Beef jerky. Or any kind of jerky.

Plan, plan, plan, and be prepared, or you'll just run thru the fridge or snack machine. Avoid anything with refined sugar, it will just make you hungrier sooner.

Figure out what snacks you want to have during your shift, and pre-log, so you have a plan to follow.

I'd advocate fruit, but I'm counting carbs now along with cals, and there's a lot of carbs in fruit!

FYI, my daily total is 1450 a day.

Good luck, hope this helps!
