255 calorie snack ideas?


Quote  |  Reply
Alright,

I have 255 calories left (1005 calories consumed so far today) -- what is a good snack idea for this? Something that is filled in takes a LONG time to eat???

Help would be appreciated!

I would love to hear your ideas!

If it were me, two boca's @ 200 calories (or three @ 210 calories if you buy the small ones and I'm gussing you don't buy them.)
well you won't have time tonight to do this but for future reference, buy a pack of 100-calorie jell-o pudding snack cups (devil's food is yummy) and keep them in the freezer...once they're frozen, you can only scrape out a little bit at a time with your spoon, and it's almost like ice cream!

for right now, berries are always good...rice cakes can take a while to eat (quaker's pb chocolate chip = awesome!)...I kinda feel like some scrambled egg beaters with fat free cheese...peanut butter clif bars are delicious...or maybe a couple granola bars?

happy snacking!
Popcorn! Eat it one kernal at a time.
250 grapes? Freeze them first!
If it were me, I'd get two weetbix/wheat biscuits (about 100cal) and some diet hot choc mix, put the weetbix in a cup, crushing slightly put the powder over the bix, and add hot water and stir. Sprinkle some wheatgerm over the top. Using Swiss Miss will give you calcium and fiber - so that's about 5-6g fibre.

Or I'd go oatmeal with fruit
you want to good tip on making a snack last longer....perpare a food court. arrange manydifferent foods on a plate or compartment tray, its a good little mind trick, appealing to the eye and palate!

example: (150 cal)

5 pretzels, cubed apple, handful of berries, 3-4 sm.cubes of marble cheese, handful of sunflower seeds, pickle, what ever you have in the house...create your own and post it!
lorinelise - what a great idea! Thanks!! I may do this at work for those 3pm cravings :-)

250 grapes is 250 calories? That must be wrong lol...3 cals per grape...

Frozen grapes are good...How many calories in 25 small green grapes?

Rice crackers are good. . .special K vanilla is good...but I CAN"T for teh life of me, think of anything else lol

if you freeze jello cups, would they be too hard to eat? :s

I can't do anything insanely low fat -- like popcorn...because I'm recovering from an ED and my parents don't like to see foods that make me restrict my cals around the house...

Please keep the ideas coming! :P

So how about popcorn with butter on it?
Have a Luna Bar at 180 good-for-you-calories!
Just a note to lorinelise - I tried you're pudding cup idea last night and it was sooooo good!!!  It does taste exactly like chocolate icecream, and because it's so hard, it takes a long time to eat and definately satisfies your craving for something sweet.  Even my husband (who is usually pretty fussy) couldn't believe how much it tasted like icecream.  I put 6 more in the freezer so we can both eat those for a snack throughout the week.  Thanks so much for that idea! I will definately be doing that for a low cal snack again!!
Thanks for the tip about the jello! I'll be trying that next time I go to the store!
