100 Calorie Snack Packs?

What are they? Packs of nibbles or nuts you've made up for yourself? Or are these a commercially made and sold item?

Most 100 calorie packs are the same junk food being sold in larger packages, they are just packing them in 100 calorie baggies and charging you extra to do so.

I think you'd be better off making your own baggies of snacks and they don't even have to be 100 calories, just some amount that fits into your daily calories. I usually pack mine as one serving. That's one ounce of nuts or beef jerky or carrots or raisins or whatever else is my snack. I buy those little snack sized zipper baggies and pack the whole package into servings so I can easily grab them and go. Other good options are string cheese or a hard boiled egg.

We bought a box of Cheezits for $2.00, it made 18 bags, a box that cost $2.50 had six bags.

I buy them once in a while (when I find them cheap). I actually found a 6 pack package of the mini brownies at the dollar store and they were the Kebler brand. That's more than you get in the store bought box for less than 1/2 of what they charge.

I like them occasionally because it's like getting a treat, but it's already portioned for me so I'm not tempted to eat a whole box of them.

If you mean snack pack pudding, then I eat a lot of those. I go for the 80-90 calorie non fat pudding and have one almost every day of the week. It's a good way to get a little sweet without buying a candy bar or ice cream!

I buy a big can of peanuts & use those snack baggies...I count out 1 or 2 servings per baggie so that I can grab it & go without having to stand there & count out 30 peanuts b4 I leave the house...I haven't eaten nuts in years but now I love them again!

I had to cut them out. I like the idea of them but when I found myself eating 3-4 packs of them a day it was a problem.

Pretty much anything is ok once in a while. Sometimes I even eat cake!

I always have a 90-100 calorie snack pack! I love the thinsations chocolate pretzels (100 calories), i would eat that all the time, and now im into the cinnamon strudel crispy minis (rice cakes - 90 calories), both are sooo good, and i take em to school with me or work and such and munch on em when im hungry, sometimes i have 2 a day they arent that bad especially if i have a long day

I buy some Nabisco / Honey Maid cheesecake bars that I absolutely love!!! They satisfy my cheesecake craving in 100 calories! I also got the brownie bite ones to satisfy my chocolate cravings. Maybe they aren't good for other people, but I love them.

As long as you have them in moderation , I haven't purchase them in a while but they are good when you are craving something sweet. But they are not meal replacement .

I'll tell you what they are.... a waste of money. You'll be so much better off buying the items and pre portioning them yourself. You'll get so much more.

Years ago, I would buy them, but they're just processed junk in a smaller package. Since I discovered I am gluten intolerant over a year ago, I do not buy them since they all have wheat in them.

i agree with the idea of buying the big boxes and pre-portioning them yourself but also make sure you compare nutrition labels. There are a select few of these items that do actually have a slightly different recipe (though that is generally posted on the box somewhere obvious). Kind of like reduced fat cheez-its. Just make sure you read how many calories in a serving and all that!!
