1/2 Cup Slow-Churned Ice Cream
Surprise! Ice cream tops our list of low-calorie
snacks. The key is to look for slow-churned or
double-churned varieties. This refers to a process
that reduces fat and calories while retaining the
creamy texture of full-fat varieties, so 1/2 cup has
just 100 calories. As a bonus, youll get some
protein and calcium.
Saturated Fat: 2 g
Sodium: 45 mg
Cholesterol: 20 mg
Carbs: 15 g
6 Cups Microwave Popcorn
When you want a large snack with a small calorie
count, popcorn delivers. Some microwave brands
have just 100 calories in 6 cups. "You have to chew
it, so it's satisfying," says Joan Salge Blake, RD, a
spokesperson for the American Dietetic
Association. It's also high in fiber, which can help
you stay full longer.

Sodium: 220 mg
Cholesterol: 0 mg

Mini Quesadilla
You may not expect cheese quesadillas to make a
list of low-calorie snacks, but try this recipe: sprinkle
an ounce of grated low-fat cheddar cheese over a
corn tortilla. Fold in half and microwave for 20
seconds. This quick and tasty snack has only 100
calories and 1.3 g of saturated fat.

25 Super Snacks With 100 Calories or Less
Cottage Cheese and Cantaloupe
Cottage cheese is a protein powerhouse, with 1/2
cup delivering 14 g. Like fiber, protein can help you
stay full longer. Enjoy low-fat cottage cheese plain
or with a side of fruit. A small wedge of cantaloupe
brings the total calories to 100.
Sodium: 468 mg
Cholesterol: 5 mg
Three Crackers With Cheese
Choosing whole-grain crackers is the key to this
classic snack. The fiber will keep you feeling full
between meals, and the cheese provides protein
and calcium. To stay under 100 calories, cut up one
slice of low-fat cheese and split it over three
crackers.
Sodium: 397 mg
Cholesterol: 7 mg
Fourteen Almonds
When the munchies strike while you're on the go,
there are few things more convenient than nuts.
You can eat 14 almonds without hitting the 100-
calorie mark. Plus, they're rich in fiber and protein,
which help keep hunger at bay. "They're a great
snack when you're stuck in traffic," Blake adds.
Sodium: 0 mg
Cholesterol: 0 mg
Six Whole-Grain Pretzel Sticks
For those who don't like nuts, pretzels are just as
convenient when you're on the move. To stay under
100 calories, stick to six whole-grain pretzel sticks.

and provides more than 3 g of fiber to help tide you
over.

Baked Apple

same vitamins and fiber as their fresh counterparts.
You can even sprinkle cinnamon on top without
adding calories.

Cheese-Stuffed Pita Pocket

Blueberry Smoothie
A fruit smoothie offers a scrumptious way to get in
some extra calcium and antioxidants during your
day. Try blending 1/3 cup of nonfat yogurt with 2/3
cup of frozen blueberries and ice. "It's very
refreshing and very cold," Blake says. "That slows
down your ability to drink quickly." Snacks that take
more time to finish are often more satisfying.

Sodium: 59 mg
Cholesterol: 2 mg
1/3 Cup Edamame

yourself. "It's like having frozen candy," Blake says.

satisfying your sweet tooth." A 3/4 cup serving has
just 90 calories and provides 60% of your
recommended daily allowance of vitamin C.

packaged baby carrots are convenient, and there
are many varieties of hummus available.

Sodium: 210 mg

butter on each slice. To stay near the 90-calorie
mark, don't use more than 2 teaspoons of peanut
butter in all.

two tablespoons of nonfat frozen yogurt between
two graham cracker squares. Even with chocolate
frozen yogurt, you're only looking at 84 calories.

Cholesterol: 1 mg
20 Pistachios

off -- most of the fat is unsaturated or "good" fat. Eat
20 pistachios, and you'll only take in 80 calories and
less than a gram of saturated fat. Plus, they're rich
in protein, fiber, and several key vitamins and
minerals. To avoid an unhealthy dose of sodium, eat

1/3 Cup Dry Oat Squares Cereal

convenient, low-calorie snack. Pour 1/3 cup dry oat
squares cereal into baggies you can keep in the car
or at your office. Each serving has 70 calories and
barely any saturated fat. Other types of whole-grain
cereals also work well. Just stay away from overly
sweetened varieties.
Sodium: 83 mg
Cholesterol: 0 mg
1 Cup Grapes
Grapes are loaded with water, which means that a
whole cupful has only 62 calories. The water
content helps provide a feeling of fullness and
keeps you hydrated. Grapes are also a terrific
source of vitamin K and manganese, and contain
some fiber to boot. They're great eaten fresh or
frozen.
Sodium: 2 mg
Cholesterol: 0 mg
Smoked Salmon Pinwheel
For a savory snack under 60 calories, spread 1
tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese onto a slice of
smoked salmon (lox) and roll it up. This salmon
pinwheel is high in protein and heart-healthy
omega-3 fatty acids, though the salt used to cure
the salmon boosts the sodium content. Use a little
less cream cheese and you can have two pinwheels
for under 100 calories.
Sodium: 495 mg
Cholesterol: 13 mg
One Cup Jicama Sticks and
Salsa
Jicama root is one veggie that's often overlooked.

on an entire cupful for only 54 calories.

Cholesterol: 0 mg
Not-So-Super Snacks
Don't make a habit of snacking on 100-calorie
packs of crackers and cookies, which are mainly
made with refined flour. These snack packs may be
low in calories, but they're also low in nutrients. It's
better to make your snacks work for you by
delivering protein, fiber, or antioxidants.
