If you are terribly concerned about the number of calories you are consuming everyday there are low calorie choices that can take the stress out of finding a suitable snack. Though many of these will not truly replace a well cooked meal they are the ideal treat when no other choices are available or when you simply do not have the time to invest in something better. Remember that even though many of these are low calorie snacks do not confuse them with healthy foods which will contain more or actual nutrients.

Tasty Treats

The 100 Calorie Little Debbie marshmallow treat is almost identical to the well known Rice Krispie Treat with the exception that it is cheaper. It is a bit sweeter and perhaps a bit too gummy however, if you are on a budget then it is the perfect treat. This will give you a quick boost when you are on the go, however it may not necessarily give you a full feeling.

You can try Jello's collection of 100 calorie puddings which come in a number of flavours. They are very delicious and are all fat free. The flavours include vanilla/chocolate combo pack, chocolate-vanilla swirl, tapioca and ...
... devil’s food. To make it even more flavourful you can add some fat free cool whip. You can find them at most supermarkets and more often than not at discount stores.

100 calorie Sierra Mist

If you would prefer a drink instead of actual food then this 8-ounce can of soda is perfect. It has 100 calories and fairly convenient to take with you. It's not actually cheaper than the 12 ounce version of the drink but at least you'll be reducing on your calorie intake. It's essential that you remember it is soda so try to not to rely too heavily on it as an in between filler.

Klondike Slim-a-Bear

Klondike Slim-a-Bear bar is a great tasting treat. It is coated in chocolate and caramel with delicious vanilla in the middle. The ice cream is slow-melting which means you'll have plenty of time to enjoy this snack without worrying that it will completely melt before you are done. The low calorie ice cream filling coupled with its small size guarantees you won't be consuming too many calories. However, try not to eat more than one bar which will dampen any attempt at reducing your caloric intake.

Healthier Snacks

Mott's Original Apple Sauce

This is a healthier snack that tastes wonderful. It won't give you the same amount of fibre but it is still considered a full serving of apple.

This is basically a serving of vegetables and a bit of dip.
