What are some low calorie, junky snacks?
I'm trying something new where I eat well the entire week except for on a cheat day. I've never done this before...I've always just monitored my calorie intake, but now I'm making sure that I meet my macros and get enough vitamins.
For my cheat day, I'm planning on eating purely junk food. I don't want to eat too much of one thing, I'd rather eat a little of many different things, so what are some junky foods that don't have crazy high calorie counts? Please no diet type foods.
For example, Rice Krispies Treats are only 90 cals per bar.
Just to add, when I say that I'm eating "well" during the week, I'm not depriving myself of food that tastes good. I'm just eating cleaner than I would on a cheat day.

* Popcorn
* Frozen Yogurt
* Pretzels
* Pudding
* Jerky
* McDonald's soft serve ice cream and apple pies are < 300 cals
Soft serve is a good idea...yum! Thanks for the response :)
I love these things called potato straws, they also have apple and cheese straws too. They are a sensible portion option at 38 straws for only 130 calories. They are crunchy like potato chips but have a lot less fat. They are a "junky" yet semi-healthy option. lol
Veggie stix/Potato Straws 38 of them for 130
Beef Jerky, they even have 80-110 calorie packs
Special k cracker chips(30 for 110cals) and i dip them in salsa or queso(cheese/salsa mix)
Pudding
Pretzels
Frozen Yogurt
Edy's light churned icecream
Some sugary cereals are low in calories if you don't care much about sugar
Goldfish
Quaker granola bars
Popcorn, and try adding the new popcorn seasonings(nacho cheese, ranch, bbq, butter, white cheddar, etc)
Animal crackers
jello
pudding cups
rice cakes --caramel, cheese, apple cinnamon flavor
dry cereal
kashi crackers
single serving pringles (100 cal packs i think)
granola bars
gummy candies ~120-140 per serving
hard candies ~20 cals per piece
york peppermint patties ~ 140 cals for a large one
mini 3 musketeers ~25 cals per piece
