Snacks under 100 calories.
If you’re on a calorie controlled eating plan or just like to watch what you eat, finding delicious snacks that won’t have you heading for the nearest gym can be difficult. Seemingly ‘healthy’ snack products can pack a massive calorie count equivalent to a main meal and before you know it your ‘good’ day can turn into to a terrible one pretty quickly!
However, choosing your snacks wisely can actually assist in helping to achieve weight loss goals. Having a healthy bite between meals can help keep hunger at bay, keep energy levels up by maintaining blood sugar levels, and keeps the metabolism burning. Eating the right snacks allows us to provide the body with extra nutrients and makes us feel less deprived.
Put snacks back on the menu with these guilt free, tasty ideas, all coming in under 100 calories so they’ll fit into any healthy eating plan. With varying degrees of difficulty, some sweet and some savoury options, there’s something for everyone and every craving. Happy snacking!
