We are always looking for that low calorie snack that won’t kill our diet
or ruin our fat loss goals. Yet, there are so many options out there we
get confused and just don’t know what to choose.

First, what is a low calorie snack?

Second, how do I know how many calories a food has in it?

This report is broken down to 0-99 calories snacks/foods and 100-200
calories snacks/foods. The 0-99 foods you would choose if you just
needed a quick pick me to get to your next meal that is maybe 1 hour
away. The 100-200 calorie foods is where maybe you have 1-2 hours
before you can eat again and need something that will sustain you a
little longer and provide more satiety.

These are snacks that can be eaten between meals, as a late night snack
or just when you know you will need some food to get to your next full
meal.

The first category is 0-99 calories snacks and foods and it is broken up
into the food, the portion size for that food and the amount of calories
for that portion size.

The lists are also broken down into approved snacks (all the time) and
occasional snacks (sometimes). Approved snacks can be eaten at every
feeding opportunity regardless of when it is. The occasional snacks
should be eaten only once every other day. They are calorie controlled,
but you do have better choices if you want to lose fat, so don’t depend
on these occasional snacks as every day food items or something to
nibble on multiple times a day.

These foods fit into your diet because they provide protein and/or
fiber which will leave you feeling full. And as you know, that is a key
component for weight loss success.

These lists are not inclusive of all foods that fit in these calorie ranges.
It is merely a sampling of a variety of foods.

pick me up that is healthy and low calorie. There should never be a reason to
choose the vending machines or fast food with this many choices to choose
from!
