Or you could even just prepare your own 100 calorie packs! That's what I usually do as I'm a deadbroke college student, and it does save a nice chunk of change to DIY. I typically just buy nuts and dry snack foods from the "bulk" section of the food store, and then prepare my little 100 calorie snack packs in reusable ziplock bags that I rinse out after each use. That way there is a lot less temptation than having a big bag of almonds in front of you, and they make for a good on-the-go snack. |
My go to foods are:
Cucumber Apples Proviva (proviva.com/en/Products) A handful of nuts and raisins mixed together Wasa bread/crackers (in Sweden we call it knäckebröd) with Liver paste and boiled eggs (this is normally my breakfast.) Oranges red pepper/yellow pepper Yogurt (I do not do Fat free because fat in moderation is good for you) Berries (No bananas because they are too high in sugars/glycemic levels) Here are some of the snacks that helped me lose 83 lbs! |
Mix 6oz can albacore tuna(water pack), with 2 tbs Miracle Whip, 1 tbs pickle relish. Mix in 1 diced hardboiled egg for variation.

I avoid sugars and starches, and enjoy fat for satiety, so my snacks may not work on everyone's plan:
My go-to meals are usually from the freezer. We keep on hand turkey burgers, chicken breasts, Steak-Umms, and fish, and will cook one of them up fairly simply, then add veggies as a side. |
my recently discovered, can't live with out it, tastes so good snack is organic rice and sesame cakes (shoppers drugmart brand Nativa) with a tbsp of peanut butter split between them.
Rice cakes - 50 calories for 2 pieces Kraft smooth 'light' peanut butter - 80 calories. Taste . . . . PRICELESS. Course it helps if you love peanut butter like I do :) but I keep these at my desk at work, if i'm feeling like i need a snack it's perfect for me. Filling, tasty, sweet from teh peanut butter and crunchy from the rice cake - plus a nice change from my usual pb and apple :) |
I like the Yoplait Thick and Creamy Lights (100 cal.) with either 20 oz. of cantaloupe (100 cal.) or a cup of Fiber Select Cereal (100 cal.) Either one is a great, filling breakfast :)

My snacks... I do a lot of 100cal things (e.g. rice krispies, cheesecake bars, oreo bar, nutter butter bar, etc), light yoplait yogurt, fruit cups, 100 cal pudding cups. I've gotten into eating the Campbel's soup n' the hand for lunch. It's only 80-100 calories. I've been eating a lot of pork rinds too but I'm getting kind of burnt out on them.
So I go to get my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday. Going under. So I'll have stitches and all. I've heard mixed things from various people. The oral surgeon said I can eat anything I want to. I have no limits. But most of the time, people do pudding and jello for a few days. I'm thinking a lot of yogurt, pudding, and soup 'n the hand. May be a good weight loss. Though one of the meds I take for it are a steroid (helps to reduce swelling). |
The Yoplait Whips make the BEST frozen yogurt snack ever!!
Mine go to's are: Breakfast: Bran Flakes with milk, or oatmeal with a bit of molasses and Stevia for sweetening. (Uneventful, I know, but it keeps me full) Snack: Always something whole. Cheese, berries, bananas. But at least 100 calories. I don't eat apples because for some reason they make me get hives all over my face, but I love Apple Cider Vinegar water! There's also plenty of studies saying it aides in weight loss. Just make sure you buy it pure, unfiltered, unpasturized. Braggs is my fave. Lunch: Usually peanut butter sandwich (whole grain bread), or tuna salad. I make my tuna salad with plain Greek yogurt (the Greek Gods is the best brand ever!!) it removes all of the oily calories from mayo. I also like to eat tuna or boiled eggs over a bed of greens with rice wine vinegar. Dinner: We eat pretty much vegetarian at our house. The difference is moving past being used to having 3 sides at dinner time. We usually have a one pan meal with one side, mostly salad. Like tonight I made a fritatta southwestern style with peppers, onions and frozen shredded potatoes. My personal tips Just thought I'd throw these out there ;) -I always saute with canola oil instead of olive oil, it's far cheaper and they have almost the exact same nutritional content. Plus it has a very low smoke point. I save olive oil for salads or other dressings. -Don't bother with Reduced Fat or Fat Free, they almost always contain twice as much sugar and saves a very small percentage of calories. Real food will keep your tummy happier longer. -If you're a chocolate addict like me, go out and buy a bag of 70% cocoa square. You have to suck on it slowly or it just tastes weird. After one piece you feel like you've really indulged, but at 50-75 calories a piece (not serving!) it's virtually guilt free. -Since losing the weight I have become a vinegar addict! I have a huge collection and I love it on just about everything! There's so many options out there for flavoring besides fats, sugars and salts, you just have to find what you love best!! |
