I keep a variety of nuts on hand for the occasional snack. I’m also currently obsessed with Jeff’s Natural Olives; the feta stuffed olives are my favorite.1

Nuts
Fruit
Hummus with veggies
Cottage cheese
Meat and cheese roll ups1 -
In this 100 plus degree heat, my favorite snack is original ice popscicles! 40 calories each and so cold.2
-
Almonds, baby carrots, and Goldfish crackers.2
-
Low-fat popcorn, 100 calories per bag!!2

I just baked 37kcal brownies (google), though they came in at around 60kcal per piece. I just don't know how to deal with cups, and how much a cup actually is. They might be nice inbetween snacks though.1

If I just want to eat to eat, (not because I'm starving) I like the 100 calorie bags of popcorn, especially the Kettle Corn flavor.
And for my nightly "dessert" I buy the Chobani flip yogurts. I like the s'mores, cookies and cream, and mint chocolate chip flavors.2 -

Baking is essentially chemistry so accurate quantities are important. Most baking recipes have a weight instead of or in addition to a volume. Is this not the case with your recipe? You should always use the given weight rather than the volume.
If there is no weight given, I would start with 250g for a cup as this is what a cup of something “weighs” without taking the density into account. Excess or shortages of specific ingredients will have different effects on the results https://ueat.utoronto.ca/baking-ingredients-function/ Adjust the ingredient(s) you are unsure of depending on your result. Hope this helps1 -
i like to eat one apple and 2 medium sized carrots for a snack! it takes awhile to eat so it feels like you’re getting more food then you actually are, and it’s nutritious!4

Chocolate chia seed pudding with flavorless bone broth protein powder in it. I put a little peanut butter on the bottom of the dish & then pour the chocolate pudding on top. Very filling & tasty & gives that boost that’s needed in the afternoon. 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁2

I eat too much watermelon sometimes. If you flip though my diary you will find several days over 500 grams. Wednesday I had 700g of watermelon and 12 oz of fresh pineapple with lunch. Anyone who thinks you can't get fat on fruit can take lessons from me. Actually, I am in maintenance and make it fit now, but I have had days where 1000 calories came from fruit.
I had to have a Very Stern Conversation with myself, reminding me that I am single and I could not possibly fit all that watermelon in before it was no longer edible. But it was a very near thing. I went for the .99/lb strawberries and the rainier cherries instead.
Man, I love fruit.5 -

I have not seen what I would call a true full sized watermelon this year. I have had some really good mid sized ones. Peaches are currently very good here (NC and I think they are SC or GA peaches). At lunch, I have walked to the grocery store, bought a pound of strawberries and finished them before I got back to the office. I wouldn't let that melon go bad.
Fruit makes me really healthy because I have to walk or paddle for miles to fit it in. Today it was brownies, though. But I kayaked 9 miles in a 10' rec kayak. Exercise is my eraser, but I am getting really fit.2 -
Depends on the season/ time of year. Now: cherries! I eat nearly a pound per day. I also have pre-weighed baggies of various nuts. They're so delicious and nutritious but insanely calorie dense so I have to be very careful.3

My favorites are cottage cheese with cinnamon and Truvia nectar, plain Greek yogurt with berries and Truvia nectar, or rice cakes with PB2.2

Blueberries, raspberries, pickled beetroot, fage fat free Greek yogurt1

When I am craving salt, I eat pickles. When I am craving sweets, I will eat a little piece of chocolate or some strawberries and cream.1

1 serving Stauffer's Animal Crackers with 1 serving Kirkland Unsalted Fancy Whole Cashews or Mixed Nuts (290 or 280 calories total). I eat them one at a time, savoring each bite. Savory, sweet. Savory, sweet.1
