FYI, I message this person, and she used HALF a tbsp for 55 cals. Bummer.....

I LOVE salsa and almost any kind of salsa is low in calories and healthy (like 10-15 calories per 2 tablespoons). I snack on it during the day. Frankly, I don't usually eat it with tortilla chips but when I do, I measure out a small amount--say 7-10 chips and crack them up into smaller pieces. Then, I only bring that amount to work so I don't over eat. Really works for me.

I also love baby carrots with my favorite dressing. Just don't overdo the dressing!

Bump

1/4 cup of natures path hemp and omega granola

I love that stuff.

My personal fave right now is whole wheat pita bread with a little roasted garlic hummus and baby spinach!

I love the weight watchers cheddar cheese sticks, cinnamon almonds, or peanut butter with apple slices!

Laughing Cow cheese and 1 oz of sunflower seeds...eat with vegetable slices...yummy

Yum! Can't wait to try the yogurt drizzle and the avocado and cucumber with vinegar.

bump. these ideas are awesome.

Beef Jerky in the machine at work is only 50 cal. But it's a dollar a pop! So I'm making my own this weekend. Have it marinating in the frig right now. Hope it ends up cheaper then the stuff at work.

I love veggies with ranch dip, but instead of regular ranch I mix powdered ranch dressing mix into plain greek yogurt. Tastes awesome, way less calories, and way more protein!

What a fabulous idea! Thanks.

2 GG Scandinavian Bran Crispbreads (36 cal). 1 tblsp peanut butter divided between the two crispbreads (90 cal), one sliced banana on top of the peanut butter (75 cal), , 1 tsp honey drizzled over both (20 cal), sprinkle with cinnamon to taste. Yummy and filling. Great with tea or iced tea.

If I want a splurge, I have 8 oz skim milk with a tsp of hersheys syrup, gives a hint of chocolate/ sweetness.

Sugar free stove top pudding: chocolate flavor with a tsp chopped salted nuts , vanilla with tsp mini chocolate chips. Both with reduced fat cool whip (1 tblsp).

Banana split the long way, put on baking sheet sprayed lightly with Pam. Sprinkle with tsp brown sugar and tsp mini chocolate chips,. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until sugar bubbles, banana slightly brown.
