Snacks are where many diets slip: the afternoon comes, hunger hits and the pack of cookies disappears. Having ready options under 150 kcal solves a big part of the problem.
What makes a snack last
Protein and fiber help the most with fullness. A snack that is only sugar passes quickly and hunger comes back within an hour.
Ideas under 150 kcal (approximate values)
- Plain nonfat yogurt (170 g) with cinnamon: about 80 kcal.
- 2 boiled eggs: about 150 kcal.
- 1 medium apple + 10 g of peanuts: about 140 kcal.
- Carrot sticks + 2 tablespoons of hummus: about 100 kcal.
- 3 cups of air-popped popcorn, no butter: about 100 kcal.
- 1 slice of whole-grain bread + 1 slice of fresh white cheese: about 140 kcal.
- Cottage cheese (100 g) with tomato: about 110 kcal.
Have it ready before you're hungry
Boil eggs for the week, portion peanuts into small containers and carry fruit in your bag. A snack that needs a decision when you're already hungry usually turns into whatever is closest.
Watch the "healthy" ones that add up
Nuts, granola and bars are fine, but they easily pass 300 kcal in a few bites. Measure the portion once to learn the size.
