Super low calorie snacks??

Anyone have any very very low calorie (like under 30) snack suggestions? I have been using pickles, and celery, both are only like 5 calories or something.....

 but i'm a little bored, and was hoping someone else has some little secrets. Lately i've been "munchy", wanting to graze a a little all day long and i need something in between meals or in the evening that won't greatly affect my calorie total.

thanks in advance!!

i know this might sound a little weird, but i LOVE those frozen sliced carrots and frozen cut green beans. 2/3 of a cup is about 30 calories, and it usually satisfies my cravings for a midnight snack!

what i usually do when i want a low calorie snack is buy some puffed cereal. You can buy them at any health-food store and most large grocery stores. the ones i always buy are by Arrowhead Mills, and i love their puffed wheat, kamut, and corn. they're crunchy and carby (i love carbs), and 50 calories for a cup. a little over your limit, but a half cup is within the the limit. the other awesome thing is a bag is really quite cheap. it also feels more like a Friday night snack kind of food than celery (or any veggies...)

The only puffed grain cereal i don't recommend if millet...it's too chewy unless you add milk, and then that totally throws your calorie limit.

good luck :)

Strawberries are super low in calories, like 4 cal. each or something. Also, air-popped popcorn is great for the muchies. You can eat tons for not too many calories. What else...oh, you can eat wasa crackers for only 20-35 cal. each and they are really crunchy and take a while to eat.

I buy bags of Frozen Unsweetened pineapple chunks.  An amount of 140g - about 1 cup is only 40 calories.    Takes a long time to eat because it is frozen.  Good for a sweet tooth.  You could have 1/2 cup for just 20 cals for your under 30 cal snack.

one cup of radishes, sliced or chopped, is 19 calories

one cup of cherry tomatoes, halved, is 27 calories

celery is pretty much an eat-all-you-want kind of snack food

one cup of mushrooms is 15 calories

one packet of Swiss Miss Sugar Free Hot Chocolate is 25 calories

one cup of chicken bouillon is about 5 calories

one cup of chopped broccoli is 30 calories

one package, Chicken Noodle Cup a Soup ... 45 calories

one cup, strawberry halves .... 49 calories

one peeled cucumber ... 24 calories

7 almonds ... 49 calories

1 tablespoon Better'n Peanut Butter ... 50 calories

15 grapes = 30 calories

one slice, Kraft fat free singles ... 30 calories

one slice, Oscar Mayer fat free bologna ... 22 calories

=^..^= MOLLY

 

i personally loooove egg whites... especially hard boiled, only like 15 cals each then i'll add a little pepper or some other spice...

also my other fav low cal snack at the moment is blueberries... half a cup is about 40, i like to freeze them, take them out for like 5 minutes so they thaw just a little then eat them =)

sugar free jelly!!!

I'm with Willin... frozen blueberries are the best...

They fill you up too.  suprising.  but they're also one of the best fruits to consume as autumn sets in and winter (and the flu season) approaches because they are extremely high in antioxidants.  1 2 amazing punch

Jell-o sugar free strawberry. It's only 5 calories.

Grapes aren't low cal. They're pretty high in calories. A  cup is 110 calories

Thoufg honey dew melons and watermelons are low calorie fruits.

About the jell-o jello, don't eat too much of it. It has 60mg of sodium in it.

A few strawberries cut up with a tablespoon of cool whip is like 25 calories & tastes terrific.

A plum is 30 calories.

Celery and/or carrot sticks&nb sp;with salsa can easily  be under 30 calories

A small salad (a few  ;leaves of lettuce, 2 tom ato slices, some cucumber  ;slices with either lemon  ;juice or vinegar) is lik e 20 calories

Egg whites (as people have noted) ar e guilt-free

I wish they could make&nb sp;super-low calorie Yoplait W hips! yogurts. I love the m, but 140 - 160 cal ories seems high for a quick snack. They should work on making them under 100.

they have yoplait fat free yogurts for 100 calories

and another yogurt for 90 calories

baby carrots dipped in mustard...sounds weird I know but mustard doesn't have calories and has a bit of a kick when combined with carrots...I also like to air pop my popcorn and I think one tablespoon of kernals is about 35 calories.  Don't quote me on that though.  I also like to freeze diet pop to make popsicles out of them.  Speaking of popsicles, sugar free popsicles and even sugar free fudgesicles are pretty good.

mustard has calories, just very low. I use to think that plain decaf tea had no calories and to my surprise, it has 2 calories. If anything is under 5 calories, the companies have the right to say it's calorie free.

Anyways, there is Silhouette  fat free sugar free yogurt. It's 40 calories. Above the 30 calorie mark, but that's pretty low for yogurt. Also, it tastes awesome and they added more fruits into the yogurt as well some newer flavors. Yum, strawberry banana yogurt. 

 

OMG I am heading to the grocery store TODAY, to get every single one of these things.... what great ideas!

 Thanks everyone!

Check out other pickled vegetables (non-cucumber) while you're there.  They're great because they keep forever, my favorite is pickled asparagus, but pickled carrots and beets are popular too.

best snack ever that i never see anyone suggest is the Light Life smart fake-meats. I'm vegetarian, and these meat are sooo good ( i like the pepperoni or chicken strips for snacking). plus you can eat them cold and dont have to cook anything, there really good for you and the pepporoni is like 15 pieces-40 calories and the ckicken is like 12 strip 60-80 cals! Its amazing!

Little late, but I'm sure this post can help others..

In addition to all the other great things above:

granola is something to snack on awhile (Careful, calories can add up)

also, pomogrante fruit...it has great health benefits and what I do is eat the seed but leave the "pit" behind to dry out a bit and then eat that later...a whole pomogrante is about 100 calories so half is about 50 and it takes me all day (no joke) to eat half of one almost continusly munching on it (careful, it does stain though!)

also, cut up something like carrots into small pieces and then you will have a cup that looks huge (baby carrots, about 10 = 30-40 calories)
-this also works for anything else...cut it into small pieces and you can eat it longer and just keep popping it in your mouth but since you premeasured it you know the calories (a celery stick cut up in half and then chop that will last forever)

hope everyone's enjoying their super low cal snacks!

One thing I love is Pumpkin Pie!  Actual pie has a lot of calories, but someone told me to try canned light pumpkin (low cal - only 40 cal per serving) and add cinnamon and splenda, microwave it real quick and it tastes pretty good!! Put some cool whip on top if you feel like it.  I lost a lot of weight replacing chips and other snacks with this, so I'm all for it :)  And I love cottage cheese with splenda and cinnamon.... and cinnamon and splenda on cut up apples - I have that sweet tooth!

I used to eat a lot of sliced (lengthwise) raw carrots then dip them in salsa.  That has practically no calories and is pretty tasty.  Nowadays, I don't get hungry as much anymore so I get by on 1/2 cup yogurt and an apple for an afternoon snack.  But when I first started, filling up on carrots kept me sane.

strawberries are low in calories, sugar free jello 10 calories, small salad with light kraft zesty italian dressing 15 calories for every 2 tablespoons, crystal light popsicles are 15 calories each   just have low calorie snack throughout the day, like every hour and you should be good
