one slice of bread with cream cheese is only 100 cals
That sounds great but most of the bread I see is more like 100 cals just for the bread with another 50-100 on top of that for the cream cheese...the only one I know of that is less is a 45 calorie sara lee bread but the slices are so small....
Nature Own 100% Whole Wheat is 50 calories a slice and has no HFC (and it's a "regular" slice of bread!)

If you don't want the calories of peanut butter, you can use PB2 (they also have a chocolate flavor!)...with PB2 and Nature's Own, you could make a peanut butter sandwich for 150 calories! Add some mashed up fresh berries or use no sugar jam for a 200 calorie snack!

Trader Joe's is my crackden, and I'm constantly going there to look for new stuff, like:
Seaweed snacks (try the Wasabi with caution!) = 60 calories
Lite Kettlecorn = 110 calories
Mini Brie Bites = 70 calories
Mini rice crackers = 110 (35 crackers)
100 calorie chocolate bars (dark and milk chocolate)
Other things of note:
Quaker Cinnamon Roll Bar = 140 cals, 6 g protein, 5 g fiber
Quaker Peanut Butter Choc Chip Bars 25% less sugar = 100 cals
Kellogg's Pastry Crisps = 100 cals for 2 bars
Pirate Booty (1oz) = 130 cals
Cottage cheese single packs
String cheese w/jalapeno (like the kick)
Soynuts = 140 calories for 1/3 cup
Yes, some of it's processed food, but I get in my fruits and veggies too. But I'm a snacker, and sometimes I just need it...(see my crackden note above).0 -
Protein bars, green smoothies (I make my own or am picky about buying good ones), leftovers from last night's dinner, whole wheat pita or wholesome pita chips or veggies and hummus which I doctor up with sun dried tomatoes, olives and such, a whole avocado, whole kiwis, almond or peanut butter on an apple, green salsa on slices of squash or cucumber, use applesauce as a dip with crunchy sesame crackers or other favorite, dates and raw almonds together... I find that trying new pairings for fruits and veggies and/or nuts wakes my taste buds up and it's fun to experiment.0

Chicken.....most sundays we grill and I make 3 - 4 oz portions to freeze and have for snacks. I'll season several different ways so I have choices. This came from months of too many high carb/sugar snacks and trying to figure out how to maximize protein and get a better macro balance - definitely still very much a work in progress for me0
