I just had a Kellogg's Fiber Plus Antioxidants Chocolate Chip Chewy Bar. YUM YUM! Tasted wonderful with some hot green tea. Only 120 calories, and it tastes like a really good candy bar.
Some other snacks under 200 calories that make me happy are:
1 slice toasted low calorie wheat bread (45 calories) with 1 tbsp peanut butter (90 calories) with 1/2 small bannana sliced (45 calories) and a tiny drizzle of honey (20 calories)
1 sugar free chocolate pudding (60 calories) mixed with 1/2 small bananna sliced (45 calories) and tiny squirt of whipped cream (15 calories); 1 oreo cookie (53 calories)
1/2 whole wheat pita pocket (80 calories); 1 packet of water-pack tuna (60 calories) mixed with 1 celery stick minced fine, and 1 tablespoon low-fat mayo (50 calories), lettuce and tomato
1 lite smoked white meat turkey hot dog (45 calories) on a toasted low calorie bun (100 calories) with saurkraut and mustard
1/2 whole wheat pita pocket (80 calories) with 1 finely chopped boiled egg (70) mixed with 1 tbsp light mayo (50 calories) (stuff with lettuce and tomato)
A while ago there was a diet in a magazine about eating 100 calorie snacks every hour during the day. I tried it for a couple of days, and I really did lose weight. Why it works -- even if you eat every hour all day, you're basically up 16 hours a day, so at the most you would be eating 1600 calories.
Why couldn't I stick with it? It takes a lot of work planning and packing up a whole day's worth of 100 calorie foods to bring to work -- basically 12 hours worth because of my commute, and then reminding myself to eat every hour. Although I didn't get hungry on the diet, I didn't feel satisifed -- I wanted a complete meal. As much as I eat out with friends and family, it just wasn't a good match for me.
But, it really did work. So any of you reading this who wants to try it, go ahead. I think it would work just as well with 200 calorie snacks throughout the day every two hours.
