I use DaVinci Gourmet brand sugar free caramel syrup. It's sweetened with Splenda. It's actually calorie free too.

I got mine from WalMart, but I've also seen it with the other coffee syrups at the grocery store. I think they had sugar free vanilla and hazelnut flavoring as well.

I have that. Or something similar.

It's sugar-free Coffee-Mate Vanilla Caramel flavoring. One tablespoon is 30 calories.

I don't use much of it, though, because I'm not a regular coffee drinker. In fact I can't stand the stuff unless it's the flavored coffees. I love the General Foods International Coffee, the french vanilla. I also buy that in the sugar-free as well. Instead of the 4 teaspoons the serving size calls for, I use 3 teaspoons of the french vanilla and one tablespoon of the vanilla-caramel Coffee-Mate.

Yummy

I also love cappucino (sp?) but as for regular coffee, I can't drink it, the stuff is nasty

A couple of you have mentioned the Tortilla Factory. I had never heard of them before, but just lasat weekend tried their "wraps" they are 90 calories with 13 grams of fiber!!! The first ingredient is oat fiber. And they were tasty too!!! Great alternative to bread for sandwiches!

Some other favorites:
- reduced fat or 2% cheese (on sandwiches, but I still have "real" cheese to munch for a snack -- just in small quantities)
- 2% cottage cheese
- Kashi Granola bars (okay, these may not be low fat, but they are VERY healthy for granola bars)

I tried those but couldn't eat them. I didn't like the texture. They were too... spongey.

I agree they were spongy. I find that if I cook them in a pan with cheese inside and a spray of pam they cook up fairly crispy.

I tried crisping them up in a pan and also in the oven, but I still couldn't get past the texture

I hope I don't think they're spongey the next time I eat one. That would kinda suck!

I've never found them spongey. Should wraps be crispy? I use them for wraps and quesedillas mostly. I also haven't seen any bigger ones here--only the 50-calorie small ones (8 inches, I think?).

Some of my favorites are:
  • Light Italian bread - only 80 calories for 2 slices and 4 or 5 grams of fiber (and it isn't squishy)
  • 100 calorie packs - wheat thins, oreos, popcorn (I finally found these)
  • Baked chips - Cheetos, Doritos, potato chips
  • Fat free sliced cheese - I'm a recovering cheese-a-holic and this seems to work for me. One slice on a sandwich.
  • Yoplait Thick and Creamy Light yogurt - yummy! Fat free and 100 calories
  • Extra lean 96% ground meat - only 4.5 grams of fat per 4 ounces (it costs more, but it is healthier than the other stuff)
  • WalMart's flavored water: no caffeine, no sodium, no calories. I'm hoping they will start using Splenda instead of aspartame to sweeten it. I also like the "fizz" part of it. Black cherry, lime, strawberry, and cranberry are my favorite flavors. 50¢ for a one liter bottle.

Actually, it is Pop Secret who makes the 100 calorie snack packs. I bought the butter and the kettle corn versions. I don't think they are a "light" variety, but I could be wrong. I just made it the first time last night.. it is JUST the right amount of popcorn! WalMart has them for $2.50 for a ten pack box.

I get flavored syrups for coffee at Marshalls...they are sweetened with Splenda...no freaking calories!!!

My list of low cal favorites are vanilla mint velamints, Quakes, Dreyers Slow Churn low fat ice cream (cookie dough ), hazelnut syrup made with splenda, fat free 1/2 & 1/2, triple washed mixed greens, newman's own raspberry walnut dressing, low fat feta...golly - that's just for starters!
