Low Calorie Diet Snacks You Can Eat

When you get home from the grocery store, set aside some ready-to-eat snack packs in small plastic bags or containers so that you can stave off hunger and avoid impulsive food purchases. Strategically place these snack packs in lunch boxes, in your purse, in your gym bag, in your car . . . wherever and whenever you think you might need a quick bite. Here is a list of low calorie snack food you can use:

• Whole fresh fruit (apples, pears, oranges, bananas) or small cups of grapes, berries, or cubed melon.
• Bell pepper slices, carrot sticks, or other veggies with prepared hummus dip or low-fat ranch dressing.
• Carrot sticks, celery sticks, or apple slices with peanut butter
• Low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese cups

• 100-calorie mini-bags of crackers or cookies
• Unsweetened applesauce cups
• Half of a small sandwich
