Something that doesn't need prep work, really low calorie, to just munch on between meals and quiet my stomach. And something a little more flavourful than celery. Thoughts?

    popcorn, gum, any other veggie. Sometimes I'll have one of those crystal light packets or the hawaiian punch ones for 10cal. sunflower seeds keep me busy so they help too.

    Yves Veggie Dogs in the family pack are 45 calories each. (The smaller packs have larger dogs that go 60-80 calories.) I pay attention to protein and iron and each dog give me 8g protein and 15% of my iron RDA.

    String cheese is 80 calories apiece.

    Fiber One bars are 90.

    I sometimes snack on dry cereal too. Mostly for the iron. Quaker Corn Squares is 110 calories and 30% of my iron RDA for 30 grams. It's not sugary, but it's sweetish.

    Red bell pepper strips. They required no more prep than celery and much more flavorful. And they are very low in calories.

    I second seaweed. I also recently discovered these healthy meringues with 2 calories each with many flavors. I think you will find it in healthy stores.

    It's on the sweet side, but sometimes with my cup of tea I adore having an unsalted rice cake (40 cals) with a tablespoon of fruit butter (20 cals). Right now I'm making my way through a jar of rhubarb butter and it is so satisfying!

    I am a massive fan of popcorn. The stove top Whirleypop will pop every kernel of 50g serving with 4 grams of peanut oil and not taste like styrofoam air pop. 186 cal for about 6 cups popped.

    I get a bag of radishes and slice them up thin. They're crunchy and low cal and aren't celery so they've been great to snack on. If it fits with your diet you can salt them too.

    Pickles, baby carrots, gum, water with ice, frozen grapes ,

    I’m a big fan of fat bombs ( I’m not a keto fan), I find the good fat is very satisfying. The lemon/creamcheese ones I have on the freezer are fantastic 😊

    Sugar free Jello with a little hit of light Reddi Whip is one of my favorites. The Jello (which honestly does not taste sugar free!) is 10 calories and the Reddi Whip is 5 calories for 2 tbsp. I just seen almond and coconut milk Reddi Whip at Walmart the other day, too, if you're looking for something more health conscious, but I haven't tried them so I don't know what they taste like.

    Popcorn for me. You can get the smaller bags that have around 100 calories. They are just the right size for one person and allow you to eat the whole bag.

    I find the calorie count of dates fairly insulting :D
    Add nut butter to it and it's like a meal's worth of calories.
