What are your favorite low calorie snacks



Recommended Posts

Mine is the light baby bell cheeses and the laughing cow cheese . I found gluten free rice cracker with hardly any carbs. They are tiny but so are the laughing cow cheeses.

I like to eat them with tuna our low sodium deli turkey.

Or dip them into Greek yogurt hummus :)

For 5:2 fasting days, I like a hard-cooked egg as a snack (they are 50g, ~78 cals) cos they are filling and good for you. I also like a pot of light jogurt (chocolate flavor is my fave) for 77 cals. Or a cup of coffee or tea with some milk in. I mostly don't snack on fast days cos I like to hoard my cals for lunch and dinner. :lol:

Low calorie is relative, when I think low calorie I always think, "lowest possible calorie level with highest possible Protein content that are also the most filling", which means that technically they probably aren't the lowest possible calories. So my faves are plain greek yogurt, salad with homemade mustard vinaigrette, devilled eggs made without mayo, and my new super favorite, sent to me by Fiddleman & Phoenix, high protein salami sticks, with only 80 cals per huge stick, tons of flavor, and 15g protein, woot!

I always eat greek yogurt on my fast days, with berries. Lots of Protein and Fiber. I don't "snack" on fast days either, I only eat lunch and supper or I would feel like I am getting out of control (the more often I eat, the more hungry I feel!).

Nice to see you on here! What is the name of those salami sticks?? I live in Canada, so I am not sure it is something I can get here or not. And I would love your recipe for mustard vinaigrette!

Hi there sweetums! I thought I was such a genius when I "invented" the mustard vinaigrette, only to discover that this is the essential vinaigrette the French invented centuries ago :/ oh well, it's delicious!!

your favorite oil (olive, walnut, coconut, etc.)

a very strong unadulterated mustard like stone ground

pepper

vinegar to taste, balsamic if you want to get fancy!

Mine is def Mini Babybel Light cheese. As well as 90 calorie FiberOne PB Bar. Also, love (if we are going that high 100) 100 cal guacamole pouches, either Wholly brand or my fav is Marketside (Walmart) w/thin sliced cukes and red pepper slices.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
