Those military HOOHAH survivor bars.
carrots and celery
fruit! and granola bars or something. mainly anything if you eat them right.
try snack well brand snacks
celery, it takes up more cals to eat than it actually has in them
drink a bowl of cold puke the first thing in the morning and you won’t be hungary the rest of the day.
dILL pICKLES _ 0 CALORIES
there are a lot of them out there u can get just about anything these days of course vegi’s and fruit sugar free jello, yogurt, snackwells, and keebler both have a line of low to no fat snacks, pretzel sticks, angel food cake, pickles, sherbert just a few to name off the top of my head
fruit and veggies, but just because you go low fat doesnt’ mean you are cutting calories, fruit is full of sugar and some are really high in calories. just don’t eat more calories than your body can burn in a day.
Pretzels,,, 0 grams of fat.
Rice cakes are good too! Satisfies the need to crunch on something like chips. Good taste and different flavors too. Or if you want to get a veggie in, celery dipped in just a little peanut butter, or raisen, also almonds are supposed to be good for you to but I’m not too sure of the fat content.
take frozen blueberries( I freeze fresh and have them through the winter) (approxiamately 1 cup) , 3/4’s cup of milk (1% is what I use) and splenda or nutra sweet to taste. This is very tasty and is very refreshing on hot days. The blueberries freeze the milk, so it is kind of a sweet treat without all the calories or fat. Kind of like ice cream. Enjoy…
Cucumber, watermelon, cantaloupe,
Applesauce with graham crackers. or saltine crackers
Mandarin oranges
Pineapples
Sherbert
Frozen fruit bars
A SMALL handful of almond or peanuts with a handful of pretzels.
Pudding cup
Yogurt — I only like the Yoplait Thick and Creamy — more like pudding than slimy yogurt.
Granola bar
There’s a few — just remember you need some fat in your diet. Moderation is the key.
Here are some healthy snacks that are certain to please your taste buds. They are perfect choices for your kids at home or at school and even Mom and Dad can take these healthy snacks to work with them. Healthy choices for the entire family are at your fingertips
The anytime anywhere snack is a much like a trail mix. Add your favorite nut and seeds along with your favorite dry cereal and dried fruits and any other tidbits you like to nibble on. If you want to give it a different taste you can roast with a bit of garlic.
Yogurt is a great choice for a healthy snack. It’s available in many different flavors, and it’s also available with real fruit mixed in. It’s easy to pack and goes down real smooth. The only caution with yogurt is that it needs to stay cool so although it’s an excellent after school snack it may not be feasible to take to school during warmer weather.
Veggie sticks are nutritious and tasty and can be served up a variety of ways to keep them interesting. You can slice into fingers, chop into cubes, or cut into circles. Carrots, celery, pepper, tomato, and a host of other veggies are great snack foods. You can add your favorite dip or change dips every day.
Fresh fruit is always a good choice. Try to buy fruit that is in season locally to get the maximum nutrition. You can eat fruit whole or make up a fruit salad mixing up all your favorites. Sliced they make great finger foods. If you want to add a different taste pack along a yogurt dip.
Cheese and crackers are another healthy choice. I’m not talking processed cheese slices but real cheese purchased directly from your deli. You’ve got lots of choices too. From mild to strong cheddar, white cheese, mozzarella cheese, gouda, Swiss, and many other exotic cheeses. Mix with the cracker of your choice. Again plenty of choices from veggie to bacon to saltines to …well you get the picture the list goes on and on. Pick your favorite, change it daily, or mix and match.
Soy milk smoothies are a real hit with the kids. They taste so good the don’t even realize they are actually good for them. They pack nicely into a lunch box and go down very smooth. Available in plenty of flavors you are sure to find one your kids like. In fact why not try it yourself?
Nuts are readily available and always a hit. You can mix them up or eat them separately. Walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, and peanuts are all readily available, as well as a host of other nuts. Unsalted is healthier but salted is acceptable.
Granola bars are also a good choice
fruits, except bananas, which calorie-dense
veggies and fat free dip
94% fat free popcorn in snack bags
light yogurts- Yopliat is especially good
fruit snacks - only 80 to 100 cals each
cereal - but not sugar-loaded!
Mr. Big, gotta treat yourself
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF).
