Are you craving a snack but reluctant to have one since you are working very hard trying to diet and lose weight? Avoiding small healthy snacks can actually derail your diet plan but not keeping your appetite satisfied and not allowing your metabolism to rev up. Eating small snacks can effectively help you lose more weight than if you don’t have one but you need to make healthy choices that are low in calories, sugars and fats.
Here are 20 low calorie snacks that are all less than 100 calories and can keep your metabolism boosted and your weight loss goals on track:
1. 1 cup of blueberries- only 85 calories and an antioxidant boost
2. ¾ ounce of cheddar cheese-90 calories with calcium and protein
3. 1 large boiled egg, just 70 calories and full of protein
4. ½ baked potato, only 80 calories and full of potassium
5. 1 cup of broccoli with dip, a mere 90 calories and plenty of vitamins
6. 1 medium apple, 80 calories, eat the peel for more fiber
7. 12 almonds, about 90 calories and fat-burning qualities
8. 3 Tablespoons of dried cherries, 75 calories and antioxidants to match
9. 2 medium kiwis, only 95 calories and an energy boost
10. 3 tablespoon of hummus, comes in at only 80 calories and tastes good
11. ½ cup of fat free yogurt, only 85 calories and good for your digestive health
12. 10 blue corn tortilla chips, 90 calories and can control your snack cravings
13. 1 slice of whole grain bread, 65 calories and counts for a serving of whole grains
14. 1 small vodka soda, 95 calories, just checking if you are still reading
15. 2/3 cup of dark chocolate, 95 calories of heart healthy antioxidants
16. 25 dry-roasted pistachio nuts, only 85 calories and can help you control your weight
17. 1/3 cup of red kidney beans, 85 calories and high in both fiber and protein
18. 1 small scoop of frozen yogurt, 90 calories, avoid the mix-ins
19. 2 ½ ounce of broiled or baked salmon, at 99 calories, it just barely makes it on our list
20. 9 kalamata olives, 95 calories, opt for the unstuffed ones
There you have it, a snack for everyone and all of them are less than 100 calories. I have to throw in the vodka drink because sometimes we need to reward ourselves, just don’t eat the lemon garnish.
