I am a 5-6 "meal" a day gal (doing low cal), so I love my snacks especially when they are more or less guilt free and pretty low cal. I thought maybe we could all post our favorite snacks that are healthy and/or low cal!
Here are a few of mine: 100 calorie packs by Nabisco (a few varieties, and, you guessed it 100 cals) Jolly Time minis blast-o-butter popcorn (the whole little bag is 190 calories and 10 grams of FIBER, woo hoo) Bumble Bee fat free tuna salad w/ crackers pack (150 cals, and really good tuna salad!) Part-skim mozzerella string cheese sticks (80 cals and fun to eat)
Looking forward to finding out what y'all are snackin' on!!!
100calorie packs, or I'll just buy a large serving and before I dig in I'll put all the servings into individual ziplock bags.
Also, I'm trying to eat more veggies, so if I'm home I like to eat frozen snow peas, asparagus and broccoli with a little peanut sauce.. one serving is around 100/150 calories. If I'm out I always try to keep carrots around usually with a 60calorie yogurt smoothie or string cheese.
Flax Plus cereal with skim milk. It's an organic cereal made with bran and flax seeds. I know it sounds gross...but it really is pretty good (not fresh baked cookies good, mind you...but it really does grow on you). The best thing about it is that each serving (3/4 cup) has: 7 grams of fiber, only 6 grams of sugar, 1.5 grams of healthy fat, 100 calories...and get this...500 mg of Omega-3's!!! It is a major snacking staple for me...and it's super filling too.
Some of my favorite snacks are fruit. I like plums, nectarines, or apples right now. Another fav is to take about 1/2 C. frozen mixed berries and mix with 1 C. ff plain yogurt. I add a little sweetener...yummy!
i like to eat the popsicles around here... i aslo like veggies and fruit and low cal and low fat yogurts.... i really like sucking on ice or i take a pack of single raped hard candies i suck on one for about 20 min... it gives my mouth something to do between eaten times
single raped hard candies i suck on one for about 20 min...
I'm sorry, this totally made me laugh to think of the candies being "raped" as you suck on them. LOL I know you meant "wrapped" but the visual was too much for me. I'm sick...
* Dannon fruit at the bottom yogurt! It's 150 calories for a container and pretty filling. I eat at least one of these every day usually.
* cottage cheese with fruit!
* fruit fruit fruit!
One of my favorite snack is Gerber baby food. I eat the fruit ones (like Pear and Pineapple, Peaches, and Bananas). You just have to be careful because some of them are higher in calories (like my favorite, Hawiian Delight). I use them for a quick breakfast or a snack between meals.
What are YOUR fave healthy/low cal snacks?
