    Jell-O Sugar Free Pudding in the refrigerated section... only 60 calories with a half Tablespoon of Natural Creamy PB mixed in... 45 calories for a total of 105 calories.

    Pumpkin & Chocolate Chip Muffins Just 3 ingredients... 1 box of Spice Cake Mix, 1 Can of Pure Pumpkin and 60 grams of mini semi sweet choc chips. ~ approx 175 calories a muffin

    Dannon Fit & Light Yogurt (love the new Pumpkin Pie flavor that is out, also the Apple Pie, Banana, Toasted Coconut and Blueberry are all good) Only 80 calories with 12 grams of protein and just 7 grams of sugar. I add 5 grams of Kind Peanut Butter Yogurt to add a little crunch... that is an additional 20 calories... so total is 100 calories

    Breyers Delights - Chocolate Mini Pint, 1 mini pint 5 grams of protein and 6 grams of sugar ~ only 70 calories

    Thomas Multigrain Light English Muffin at 8 grams of Fiber and 5 protein... these are just 100 calories. I slice these into, toast and top with half a Tablespoon of Natural Peanut Butter for an additional 45 calories. Total 145 calories for a filling and healthy quick snack. I often have this as part of my breakfast actually.

    Orville Redenbacher's - Smart Pop 100 Calorie Kettle Corn Popcorn... it's a smaller bag (about half the size of your standard microwavable bag... but plenty to be satisfying and filling. Just 100 calories.

    Depending on your stats, what one person considers to be a low calorie snack might not meet your definition of "low calorie." How many calories are you looking for in your snacks?

    If I’m hungry, I really like the Fage 2% yogurt (the ones in individual cups), and I mix in pumpkin pie hummus (sounds weird, I know... but tastes like pumpkin pie, legit). The tartness of the yogurt and the sweetness of the “pumpkin pie” really mesh well together, plus it’s super high in filling protein. I also love those Quest cereal bars. I always carry a whole box in my car, I’ve eaten those for emergency I need food now snacks so many times. Also can’t beat just a simple piece of fruit. I’ve been really enjoying honeycrisp apples lately

    ..... 😳 yoghurt and hummus?!

    I noticed my snack cravings dropped quite a bit when I increased my calories at breakfast and lunch.

    So, my snacks are usually the rest of whatever I didn’t eat as planned at breakfast or lunch.

    Ex: typical breakfast is 400-500 calories of a macro-balanced combo of some of these : eggs, oatmeal , greens , yogurt, fruit.

    I will sometimes split that into two eating events and save the yogurt/fruit for the snack that answers the desire for a sweet fix.

    If I eat all of that in one sitting, I don’t find myself as much craving a fix that a glass of water doesn’t take care of.


    Good luck and good fitness to us all!

    Pumpkin pie hummus sounds like one of those newer "dessert hummus" options. They're sweet and don't have much in common with traditional hummus.
