    Most of my snacks are between 100-300 but some things I eat that should be within that range if you get your proportions right:
    - Small bananas
    - Medium sized apples
    - Crackers
    - Tofu and low-sodium soy sauce/sriracha
    - Popcorn
    - Egg whites with some cheese

    Best of luck! I love snacking so I reduce servings in my 'traditional' meals to make room for a morning and afternoon snack.

    My afternoon snack is typically an apple and peanut butter...but that's more like 300 calories.

    Fage 2% with fruit--120-130 cal,
    Raw cauliflower/carrots with a serving of hummus--80 to 150 depending on the hummus, banana--can range from 70 to 130 cal, boiled egg--75 cal, half of a protein or trail mix bar--100-ish cal

    I tend to have 2 or 3 of these as my midday snack. Sometimes one will do, but it depends on the day, and where I'm at in my cycle!

    I agree with those suggesting hard-boiled eggs! Great balance of fat and protein and more filling than many other snack options.

    Some of my faves:

    - Unsweetened applesauce
    - Fresh piece of fruit (apple slices with PB2, yum!)
    - Eggs, eggs, all the eggs!
    - A slice of cheese and a few almonds
    - Some slices of deli turkey breast

    Lately my afternoon snack has been 1 stick of weight watchers jalapeno string cheese and a small can of low sodium v-8. Only 85 calories and a good source of nutrients.

    I allocate myself 200 calories for snacked/nibbbles in case I don’t feel I can get to the next meal without something so this is what I normally have:

    Tea and coffee-can work at filling me up a bit
    An apple
    Bunch of grapes
    Antipasto meats like a slice of prosciutto ham, salami etc (one slice about 35 cals)
    Low fat popcorn
    A lotus biscuit or 2 (38 cals)
    Ice pop (cola flavoured ‘jubbly’ on 27cals)
    Low fat bag of crisps

    I try not to snack if I can help it though. I struggle not to snack on the weekends when I don’t have work to keep me busy but during the week, I’ve found low carb/high protein fills me up nicely.

    The majority of my diet is healthy and nutritious. This is an improvement for me. So I'm not aiming for "perfection" because that's not a realistic life long goal.

    Popcorn - I use a microwave popper, a bit of oil and Kernel Seasonings popcorn toppings. Lots of different options.

    Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares, or a small candy bar like Snicker's.

    Fage with fruit topping.....so good.

    We buy the Chinese BBQ Pork from Costco and I slice it up into 56g portions and put it in these nice snack sized ziplock bags. Easy to grab and go and remember how much it was since they are all 56g/2oz portions (give or take 1-2g). Each bag is 97cal/4carb/14prot.

    A lot of it is what you like to eat in many respects. Like some others have said, 100 calories of most things isn't very satisfying to me but I eat them anyways LOL. Things like the Mini-Babybel cheeses which are between 50-80.

    You mentioned the hummus and that worked out well for me today at work. We bought the snack pack size at Costco that are 68g each and that along with 4 each of green/red bell pepper slices (about 35g each) and some cucumber slices was just over 180 calories. I ate it at 2 different times at work so each was around 90 cal.

    One serving (14g) of pork rinds like Baken-Ets is 70 calories and a nice crunch with 7g of protein.

    Just some examples we use :smile:

    I've been working at eating more vegetables, so I will prep my veggies in the morning for an afternoon snack at work. Cucumber, carrots, peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.

    I'm still fairly new to all of this, so I can't recall what would equal 100 calories, but I'll slice a whole cucumber and have a huge handful of baby carrots (everything is weighed), and it's pretty low cal.
