Every once in a while everyone just needs a good pig out. Here are some good options when you’re feeling like an endless pit of hunger. (Especially for the ladies…..you know what I’m talking about) These snacks sometimes have 2 or 3 servings in the whole bag. Eating to excess is not regularly a good thing, but sometimes we all need it. When you do, try one of these products. Again, I do not get endorsed by any product, I just think these are especially yummy!
Salty Snacks
Boom Chicka Pop – This popcorn comes in several flavors, my favorite being White Cheddar. They range from 35 to 70 calories PER CUP! So grab a bag of this for your next movie night instead of movie theater butter.
Smartfood Delight – Again, a delicious popcorn for very few calories! At 35 calories a cup, there’s no shame in having a third of the bag! Bring this to your next football get together to give yourself something to eat regardless of what the host puts out.
Snapea Crisps – My hubby loves these and will regularly eat a whole bag in one sitting. They come in several flavors: light salted, caesar (our fave!), black pepper, and wasabi ranch. They also come in lentil version with flavors like tomato basil and onion thyme. I know they might not sound yummy but if my hubby will eat them, they definitely are! 110 calories per serving and just over two servings per bag.
Special K Cracker Chips – These also come in tons of flavors like sea salt, cheddar, sour cream and onion, honey barbecue, chili lime and southwest ranch. 110 calories for 27 chips! These really feed my need for potato chips with very little consequence.
Sweet Snacks
100 Calorie Packs – These come in every variety under the sun by several different companies. Some popular stores even have their own version. I love these because they are preportioned for control. That way you CAN have cookies but not obsess about a package of oreos in the cabinet. My favorite: Mini fudge stripes
Skinny Cow Candy and Ice Cream – These are not extremely low in calorie and you shouldn’t eat the whole box. However, this is a much better option than full sugar candy or ice cream. They are just as delicious with about half the calories of the real thing. Again, there are tons of different varieties all available at your local supermarket.
Sugar Free Popsicles or Fudgesicles – These are delicious in the summer time! They are 40 calories a piece and you can have more than one. Check you’re local store for flavors and store brands that are even less expensive than name brand.
