Recipe: 25 Snacks – 200 Calories & Under
I love food. A lot. I am definitely someone who eats because I like the taste of food and often find myself doing so when I’m not even hungry. Over the last couple years we’ve tried a few different “diets” to lose weight and have been successful on them. As we’ve changed our eating habits to try and incorporate healthier meals overall, I’ve built up a bit of a repertoire of healthy and low calorie snacks. Sometimes it feels impossible to find a snack that is a) healthy, b) low calorie and c) still tasty to your taste buds. There is very, very little processed food in these snacks, which is a lifestyle choice that Jason and I try to live by. So there’s no 200 calorie sweets or chips – sorry! Hopefully some of these snacks will appeal to you and encourage you to eat healthy no matter what meal.
Disclaimer: I am by no means any healthy food guru – these are just snacks that I’ve found to work for me. Every snack includes a protein and carbs as I don’t believe in eliminating either of them. Proteins come in the form of meat, dairy, nuts and some grains. I’ve listed some brand names simply because I know the calories for those products. Make sure to check labels before substituting & assuming they are the same – not all brands are created equally!
