Cheese. I know all the calorie counters are going NoooOOOO! But a really good, tasty cheese can be cut very thin and eaten along with an apple or rye cracker, and still be enormously satisfying. I'm not talking here about Kraft pre-shredded vacuum-packed low-fat stuff, but a nice feta or real Italian parmesan or Dutch Gouda. It will be a little pricier than the factory cheese, but totally worth it. You can get very good ones at Costco and Sam's Club now even.

This may not work for cheese bingers, although I used to be one, and can now limit myself happily to one ounce or even a half ounce per day. And people whose spouses will grab anything handy in the fridge to consume in front of TV, will need to hide it or this can become an expensive habit quickly.

I also do the soy sauce or teriyaki sauce thing. Great for roasted broccoli.

I would also like to know more about the seaweed snacks everyone is talking about?

I buy these from Trader Joe's.

Ahh the wasabi ones I get from my corner store are tastier than the TJ ones though ... I think they are some brand like "Annie Chungs" or something.

I have a cup of broth or bouillon. It satisfies my salt cravings for very little calories and carbs. 30 calories and 2 carbs for a coffee mug full of broth.

Smart Fries are one of my favorite low-calorie salty snacks.

Those are really good!

Pretzels ( both the small crunchy kind and the big kind you have with mustard), some kind of wheat thin or low calorie cracker like special K with the laughing cow spreadable cheese is good too!

Pop Chips
Dill Pickles - Love the sour and half sour ones
Raw saurkraut-saw this posted above, I love it too

@peachypef yep! I started doing it a long time ago before even watching calories when all the stuff came out in the news about how the bags were leeching chemicals into the popcorn when heated up. So I stoppe making popcorn that way. I just put 3 Tbsp (130 cals from the kernels at Walmart) in a paper lunch sack (the small ones - paper plate isle) and fold the top over a few times. microwave 2:00 minutes. I carefully spoon out the popped ones, then reheat the left over kernala if there's too many to just eat. spray with butter pam and salt w/ seasalt. or garlic powder + seasalt. or the popcorn seasonings. somethin I even like the packets from beef flavored rame noodles - half of it - that's REALLY salty though !

The 3 tbsp of kernels makes a significant amount of popped popcorn - I would estimate 4-4 1-2 cups ? totally ball parking that, could be less or more.

thanks munchy! I am SUPER excited to give these a try! :)

Olives make a nice little salty snack.

They do, and the regular are good too. But I LOVE wasabi. Haha.

I just dry fried some sunflower seeds and added a couple of squirts of soy sauce once they were golden - munchy and salty! Yum!
