I just had this urge to start a running list of all the "snacks" or "mini meals" or whatever that are approximately 100 calories or less. Would love to have everybody and anybody just keep posting 'em as you think of them for the edification of all of us calorie counters. Not thinking of whether said item is healthy, low fat, low carb, low points or whatever, just feelin' like making a list of anything and everything that we can eat that's 100 cal or less!
Thanks, gma2one, Angel-lover and mthrgoos68 for the great ideas!
I'm adding:
One lf crumpet (70) w/butter spray (0) and teaspoon cinnamon sugar (15), total 85
One tablespoon natural peanut butter ~ 100*
*(I "fix" my natural pb when I get it home from the store by pourding off some of the separated oil and stirring in a packet or two of Splenda then refrigerating ... this tastes like the bad processed stuff but has no trans fats or sugar and slightly less fat and calories, I never miss the calories).
1 serving of 100% fruit golden apple sauce (1/2 cup) - 80 calories
one cup of blueberries - 82 calories
1 serving of melba toast garlic rounds - 60 calories
1/2 cup dried carnberry and apple mix - 110 calories
Jello SF/FF Gelatin...10 cals per 1/4 cup serving (which means you could eat the whole box, if you were so inclined, for only 40 cals!)
2 Tbsp Cool Whip...25 cals (regular Cool Whip, not reduced fat, has only 1.5 gm of fat per serving)
Here is a listing of snakcs varying from 25 calories to 150 calories.... this is actually a compilation of 2 seperate lists so some may be duplicated....
hope this helps everyone!

Miss Merange cookies are awesome. Am I spelling it wrong? They are about 100 calories for 4 cookies. My favories are CHOCOLATE MINT AND CHOCOLATE. Yummy!
One serving of applesauce (I love the flavored kind)
One serving of pudding made with skim milk
Sushi (not sure how many cals but it has to be low)
2 cups Air popped corn with butter flavored cooking spray and your favorite spices
Small Rita's water ice (sugar free)
Sliced fresh summer tomato with a pinch of salt
I've had Ms. M's ... can't buy them here anymore ... forgot how good they are ... going to look for some and for the Rita's water ice ... that sounds interesting!
