Low Calorie Snacks - My Favorites!
By Ashley
It’s SO easy these days to snack on foods that aren’t so figure-friendly. Afterall, these unhealthy foods are just about everywhere – vending machines, the break-room at work, the convenience store at the gas station, and maybe even your own pantry. And when you get hungry, it’s easy to turn to those things unless you plan ahead and have some healthier snacks on hand.
If you’ve got the munchies, choose a low calorie option to help keep you on track to losing weight or maintaining your weight. With so many low calorie options available, there should be no excuse to dip your hand into the chip bag, or get a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
Low Calorie Snacks
Besides the obvious fruits and vegetables that make great snacks (celery, cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli all have just about no calories), here are some of my favorite low calorie snacks that I turn to when I want something more than the fruits and veggies:
- Hershey’s Kisses – if you snack on three kisses, you’re still under 100 calories and it’ll satisfy your craving for chocolate!
- Graham Crackers – who doesn’t love graham crackers? You can eat two crackers for under 100 calories.
- Pudding – make your own or get the Jell-O fat free pudding cups. My favorite is the devil’s food flavor and it comes in at 100 calories.
- Popcorn – not the stuff loaded in butter! If you get air-popped popcorn without the butter, you’ll be able to eat three cups and fill up on fiber for only 100 calories.
- Crackers – spread four crackers with a low-fat peanut butter and you’ll have another tasty snack high in protein for under 100 calories!
Happy snacking!
