Cool. I'll have to check them out. I could definitely use a little more variety
1 -
Raw cauliflower with 30g or less of hummus
Carrots with hummus
Boiled egg
Banana
Half serving of cheese with 3-4 crackers (not a ton of food, but goes well as a late-night snack with my wine!)0 -
I think the cal/per 100 g is the way nutritional info is given in Europe. Not that you would necessarily eat 100 g of whatever it is. Is this correct?
I guess it normalizes everything per equal weight, and you can compare the calorie density of various foods.4 -
an ounce of sharp cheddar cheese a little bit over at 110 calories.1
-
olives, meringue cookies, some cereals (puffed wheat, puffed kamut), the low cal ice creams (enlightened, halo top), deli turkey0

It literally takes me an hour to work though 200 calories of pistachios. If they come already shelled and you stuff handfuls in your face, then sure, that's going to be a ton of calories. But for the amount of effort and the time it takes to lazily shell and snack through a couple of handfuls, it's a perfect snack for me. But then again, I savor my food. I don't wolf things down...
LOL...I have a tendency to wolf mine down so nuts is not working for me..lol0 -
I'm currently eating Arctic Zero Frozen Dessert. For Ice cream lovers it's just perfect. 35 calories per serving. 150 calories for a pint!0
-
Frozen corn (not on the cob)...eaten one by one. It's 80ish kal/100g, but I generelly get enough by eating 30 grams or so. it's sweet and cold 3

- String Cheese
- Popcorn
- Pickles
- Roasted Chickpeas/Soybeans
- Cottage Cheese & Crackers
- Olives

I've always been a vegetable fiend, so that's my go to if I want to munch - I just grab whatever vegetable I feel like grabbing and most of them are pretty low calorie per 100 g. If I have specific wants that's a different story, that needs to be planned more carefully.0

Mini Babybel Light - one of my faves! I also like pickles, a few crackers with Laughing Cow cheese, clementines, mandarins, baby carrots . . . now I am hungry!2
-
Zuchinni with salt and a few halo tangerines1
-
Roasted Seaweed. It is very low cal (25 - 35 Cals per package). Mandarin Oranges, Boom Chick a pop popcorn.1
-
Big bowl of zucchini noodles with pasta sauce and Parmesan cheese. 100-150 calories depending on how much oil I use to sauté the noodles. Surprisingly filling and satisfying!1

I'm probably a little weird, but one of my favorite afternoon snacks are sardines in either hot sauce, mustard sauce, or tomato sauce...2

For me, if they aren't taking up stomach space, that's an hour of suffering hunger whilst picking impatiently at shells. They are merely speed bumps, and I will remain hangry foraging them.
I stated "low calorie" / 100g as that's what works for me. I really appreciate all input, but Pistachios have a huge calorie/100g measure. If I hid a doner kebab in a cupboard under a crossword that I had to do first, I could waste a ton of time getting to it, but it would still be high calories. I'm trying to lose hunger, not time.
Thank you kindly though. I know it's well meaning.4 -
Popcorn is my go-to snack. Air-popped plain I love. 100g is 347 calories, but 100g is a huge bowl of 10 cups. It's a perfect munch-craving buster.
Other ideas:
100g blueberries is 57 calories
100g grapes is 67 calories
100g low-fat cottage cheese is 72 calories
100g cherry tomatoes is 30 calories
100g butternut squash is 45 calories
100g of some types of jell-o are less than 100 calories
Remember that a really good snack will be a mix of protein and fat, or protein and carb to keep you satisfied for longer.
Hooray for someone that gets what I'm after.
LOW CALORIES /100g ONLY PLEASE.5 -
Fruit sorbert
2 pieces of Philadephia maki
A couple jelly beans
Diet pop
0 -
Carrots 41 calories for 100 g
Hard boiled egg 155 calories for 100 g (about 2 whole eggs)
Chewy chocolate dipped peanut butter granola bar 150 calories for 30 g (1 bar) - I would not eat 3-4 bars
Raw navel orange 49 calories for 100 g (not a whole orange probably)
Dill pickle 12 calories for 100 g
Black olives 167 calories for 100 g
I usually reserve 100-300 calories for snacks. I might eat something like 1 granola bar and then carrots or some fruit. I would not actually eat exactly 100 g of every food.
Granola bar at 150cal/30g is 500cal/100g.
But, some great ideas apart from that. Thanks.

How many calories per 100g?0 -

Yes exactly. Otherwise you are told a pizza is ??? calories per slice, but what is a slice? It may be a 15inch pizza cut into 3 slices. It may be a 8inch pizza cut into 20 slices. That tiny sliver of pizza ain't going to be more than a tooth cavity full, but will be low calories. A thimble full of lard is low calories, but the stomach won't know its there.0 -

How many calories per 100g?
This request seems rather rigid it seems to me...
I would rather know how many X kcals per gram. Then multiply that X times a hundred if I really need to know the 100g sample kcal total.
Then you can can just weigh the grams of food on your scale per serving to get the total kcals of your serving. Easier that way.
Not sure why you just want 100 gram samples and kcals for figured for that 100 grams. With some foods that 100 grams would be a whopper load of kcals.
Now 100 kcal snack serving size makes more sense, if that is what you really want.
Whatever you decide, you can use math and a accurate food database list to figure your 100gram portions total kcals.6 -
Cucumber slices sprinkled with Tajin (a mix of salt, citrus, and chili powder).2

An hour? I can crack and eat an entire 1lb bag in 5 min! Cracking and shelling nuts such as pistachios and peanuts are so addicting. I don't even want to start..5 -
nothing fills me up more than non fat plain greek yogurt with some cool whip in it. you can play around with the amount to make it < 100 cal. I add things like fruit, peanut butter powder, coco powder, depending on mood. I just had a bowl & added 1 Tbl of welche's strawberry fruit spread & fresh straberry's0

Something you will find out as you diet is that volume is not the only thing that affects satiety. You could, in principle eat 200 calories of cucumbers (which is a lot of cucumbers) but they don't have much staying power and you are likely to get hungry again within 30 minutes. There is much more to satiety than eating a lot of food, although it helps. There is volume, texture, macros, some people also find particular foods satiating...etc, so you could use these foods/macros and bulk them up with vegetables for size.
Example: 1/2 can of tuna, about 50 grams of white beans, one pickle, 1/2 a smaller onion, lemon juice to taste, a tiny bit of horseradish, dill weed, and bulked up with a cucumber for a very filling 180 calorie snack. This is just over 50 calories per 100 grams, but has much better staying power to me than cucumber on its own (less than 15 calories per 100 grams).7 -
My current favorite is Bird's Eye steamer bags of ranch cauliflower. The whole bag over 200g is 150 calories. Other than that, cottage cheese or some avocado. I go for full fat snacks because those satisfy and sate me more.1

Cals per 100g is a standardised means of comparing energy ratings for foods.3 -

Brilliant point, but it absolutely still has to be low calories for my requirements. Oats for example are quite high cal/100g and are very slow burn. I use such foods and techniques for main means etc. For snacks though, (and thus not long lasting food), I need to fill my stomach to last the shorter space between those meals.1
