6 Snacks under 200 Calories

Favorite Snacks under 200 Calories.

I almost hated to title this with calories, lets be real; there is more to what you eat than just the calorie number.  Good snacks should include all macros: fats, carbs, and protein.  If you're anything like me you're always looking for yummy snacks!

So maybe this should be called simple to fix, easy to grab, healthy alternative snacks.

Yasso Frozen Yogurt Bars

I grabbed these from Target, because they were an additional 10% off with cartwheel and let me just say, best spur of the moment purchase  This bar satisfies your sweet tooth and doesn't hurt your waist.

I've only tried the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and I don't think there is any reason to try another.  But we also went back and grabbed the Salted Caramel and once again, tasty! 

Chocolate Chip Cookie - 100 calories - 2.5 grams fat - 17 carbs - 5 grams protein

Quest Protein Bar

If you asked me to pick a favorite, Id say Mint Chocolate Chip or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (see a trend here)  The mint is new and its amazing, even husband who says he doesn't like mint stuff enjoys stealing these from my cookie jar.  The cookie dough is a staple and if you heat it for 20-25 seconds in the microwave its like eating a cookie straight from the oven.

190 calories - 8/9 grams fat - 21 carbs - 21/20 grams protein

Greek Yogurt 

I'm loving the Dannon Light & Fit Greek Blends along with the Yoplait Greek 100.

So far I've had Dannon Strawberry Banana, Banana Cream, & Toasted Coconut.  All were great, but favorite is the Toasted Coconut and Banana Cream. (You can get $1 off Dannon here)

The Yoplait Greek 100 can vary but flavor when it comes to macros.  But the Vanilla and Coconut flavors are the same and the best overall pick.

Dannon Light & Fit Greek 80 calories - 0 grams fat - 9 carbs - 12 grams protein

Yoplait Greek 100 100 calories - 0 grams fat - 11 carbs - 13 grams protein 

Fruit 

Duh! But even with fruits and veggies you have to be mindful of how much you are eating.  

Apple, sprinkled with cinnamon and Peanut Butter

1/2 medium Red Delicious Apple 85 or 100 grams 45/55 calories - 0 grams fat - 12/14 carbs - 0 protein

Jiff Natural Peanut Butter 1 tbsp=16 grams 95 calories - 8 grams fat - 4 carbs - 3.5 grams protein

Total 150 calories - 8 grams fat - 18 carbs - 3.5 grams protein

Watermelon

200 grams - 60 calories - 0.5 grams fat - 16 carbs - 1 gram protein

Justins Vanilla Almond Butter

I don't eat these often but they are nice to have on hand, occasionally I need something packed with fat.  You probably just rolled your eyes at that and thought who actually eats fat.  Raises her hand slowly.  Because you can get these in packets its automatic portion control.

180 calories - 14 grams fat - 11 carbs - 5 grams protein

Popcorn 

Any Fat Free popcorn, topped with some seasoning.  I love the white cheddar Kernel Seasons but the options are endless.  Regular size bags will still have you coming in under 200 calories, but to be safe with your carb intake, look for the individual size bags.

Tuna

Chunk Lite Tuna Low Sodium Pouch with avocado and hot sauce.  

1 tuna pouch 70 calories -  0.5 grams fat - 0 carbs - 17 grams protein

Avocado (40 grams) 60 calories - 6 grams fat -  3.6 carbs - 0.8 grams protein

Total 130 calories - 6.5 grams fat - 3.6 carbs - 17.8 grams protein
