Be careful with low calorie snacks, for they might be low in calories but their salt or sugar content might be soaring through the roof and not do you any good. I'm not much of a calorie counter so I'm a bit useless, but just wanted to warn you of false advertising with some foods.
I'd generally sooner have a small amount of something good than a pile of junk, so my go-to sweet snack is a small square of dark chocolate. For a savory snack, veggies with a little hummus or a piece of string cheese.
if I need something but I'm not hungry I'll grab some smart fries. They're great and I usually go to them if I need some really low cal snack to stop a craving.
65 fries in one serving (110 cal) so I'll usually have 30 fries and figure it as 50 cal
50gram of full fat greek yoghurt + half a banana in slices + 1 teaspoon of sugar = its approximately 120 calories - so delicious and none of that fake fatfree sugarfree stuff. it's healthier in my opinion to eat the full products than all the chemically enhanced stuff
We have these crackers here in the Netherlands that are 25cal and pretty big (LU Cracottes), I top that with a full tablespoon of peanutbutter. It's about 110calories also.
And ofcourse cheesestrings, they are only 70 cal a piece.
A handfull of salted cashewnuts (20gr) is also about 120 calories.
Grapes! I loooove seedless grapes; low cal, sweet, and great 'movie-munching' food, just make sure you pre-portion the amount you can eat! 10 grapes is 34 calories (roughly), so you can easily have 20-30 grapes.
What I really want to try is dipping them in dark chocolate (perhaps only half the grape?) as a low-cal snack. I'm just trying to figure out a recipe that satisfies both my calorie limit and the 'OMG SO GOOD' taste.
I was going to add another of my favorites, it's also with grapes!
I cut 10 grapes in half and toss it in a bowl of about 80grams of cottage cheese. It's about 100 calories also. It's a great combination. Preferably with yellow/white grapes.
String cheese, mini Babybel cheese, Laughing Cow light wedge, small apple and a bit of peanut butter, small handful of almonds and a couple pieces of dried fruit, etc. I personally avoid commercial "snack packs" and try to snack on food low in sugar and salt. Fiber keeps you feeling full so fruit and nuts make great snacks.
i'm in japan (the land of non-existant diet food) and some of my favorite snacks of the moment are, dried squid (it's an acquired taste...) and cabbage dipped in miso. i especially like the last one cuz i can eat it a bit like chips... lol.
i guess it doesn't sound too interesting, but figured i'd share anyways lol.
I like to snack on "real" food. I snack on fruits, veggies with hummus, homemade pickles, string cheese, or other things. I try to stay away from processed foods (we joke at our house anything in a box or plastic bag is processed...pretty true)....
I just find the processed crap doesn't stick with me...where the "real" food does.
One "treat" for me (that includes some processed stuff) is a few tablespoons of plain greek yogurt with a little bit of sugar-free pie filling. It makes the most delicious yogurt-y treat! I usually do about 3 tablespoons yogurt with 1/4 cup pie filling. Cherry and apple are my faves!
I usually go for a sugar free jello, a nutrigrain bar, or some nuts. I love almonds and a few of emeralds cocoa roasted almonds can definitely satisfy a craving.
