Go NUTS with InShapeMD Fayetteville 's 6 Super Snack Ideas (Containing 100 Calories or Less)!

At InShapeMD Fayetteville we want YOU to be more aware of what you're consuming. Not only can it contribute to better weight loss results, it can help you achieve ultimate health for the long-term. 

So if you're feeling a bit hungry but you're still watching your waistline (aren't we always?!)... Here are 6 snack suggestions to try for only 100 calories or LESS!

1. A ½ Cup of Slow-Churned Ice Cream  

Surprise! Today, Ice cream will be on the top of our list. It's low-calorie and the key is to look for slow-churned or doubled-churned varieties, a process that reduces fat and calories while still retaining its creamy texture.

2. 6 Cups of Microwave Popcorn

This snack already has a very small calorie count, but some brands are even as low as 100 calories. So even if you're not veggin' out on the couch to watch a NetFlix movie, popcorn (the low-calorie kind, of course) can still be a wise snack option for you!

3. A Mini Quesadilla

You really don’t expect to see this as a recommended snack, but it can be a great choice. Try this recipe, by sprinkling an ounce of grated low fat cheddar cheese over a corn tortilla. Fold it in half, then microwave for 20 seconds. It’ll be a quick, easy, and healthy "mini meal" for you to enjoy!

4. Cottage Cheese & Cantaloupe 

Just grab a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese (which is a protein powerhouse by the way) and add chopped or sliced melon. With a small cantaloupe, the calories contained in this refreshing dish is just 100!

5. Three Crackers with Cheese

Choosing organic, whole grain crackers is the key to this delicious favorite. The crackers will provide you with fiber to help you feel fuller longer, and the cheese gives you the protein and calcium you may need for optimal weight control.

6. Fourteen Almonds

When those munchies strike while you are on-the-go, here's a convenient way to nosh on something nutritious. Eat 14 almonds just to hit the 100 calorie mark. The best part is... You can take these protein-packed nuts with you anywhere... which means they're even a great snack to keep you company if you're ever stuck in traffic.
