When you’re hungry, sometimes you just have to eat. If you’re trying to watch your weight, nutritionists suggest delaying your eating to make sure it’s not just boredom that’s driving the craving. They also suggest drinking water or a non-caloric beverage like diet soda or unsweetened tea. But, if it’s really food that you desire, try to aim for 100-150 calorie snacks. Some low calorie foods are already packaged to be 100 or 150 calories. Here are some other low calorie ideas:
- 1 cup sliced bananas and fresh raspberries
- 2 cups of microwave fat free popcorn
- ½ of an English muffin with a ½ tablespoon of low fat cream cheese
- Premade Jello low sugar pudding
- 2 ounces of low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 Clementine oranges (seedless and easy to peel) and 1 bar of dark chocolate
- 1 grande skinny latte from Starbucks
- 7 olives and 1 slice of Swiss cheese
- 7 tortilla chips and your favorite salsa
