I found this list of "snacks under 100 calories":

Spoiler

1 - 1/2 cup of sugar-free gelatin, any flavor, and two Tablespoons of low-fat Cool Whip.

2 - 15 chocolate-covered raisins.

3 - Stir 2 teaspoons of Hershey's chocolate syrup into a cup of coffee for Café Mocha.

4 - Tea - Russian style: Stir in 2 teaspoons of strawberry jam.

5 - 1/4 cup of fat-free Ranch dressing and 1 cup of mixed fresh veggies such as jicama, red bell pepper, celery, carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes.

6 - 6 saltine crackers and 2 teaspoons of peanut butter.

7- 1/2 cup of fat free ice cream.

8 - A luscious parfait: 1/2 c. of low-fat pudding layered into a parfait glass alternating with two crumbled vanilla wafers and a dollop of Cool Whip gracing the top.

9 - A wonderfully filling half sandwich made of 1 slice reduced-calorie bread, a thin layer of mustard, 2 teaspoons of apple sauce and 1 slice of deli-style thin-sliced turkey. Add lettuce and voila!

10 - Try another sandwich idea: 1 slice of reduced-calorie bread, 1/2 Tablespoon of peanut butter and 1 Tablespoon of fat-free raspberry vinegarette dressing.

11 - Over a small baked potato, spoon 1/2 cup of salsa and 2 Tablespoons of non-fat sour cream.

12 - I really like this one: one rice cake thinly spread with fat-free sour cream and sprinkled with 1 Tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese.

13 - Place a marshmallow on top of a graham cracker and microwave until gooey. Drizzle with a teaspoon of Hershey's chocolate syrup.

14 - Cut half an apple into slices and spread with 2 teaspoons of peanut butter.

15 - 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1 piece of toast cut into four sticks for dunking.

16 - Freeze 1/2 cup of orange juice and eat with a spoon. Nice little sorbet!

17 - 2 graham cracker squares each spread with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.

18 - an 8 oz. low-fat yogurt or a small container of low-fat pudding.

19 - 1 slice of reduced calorie bread spread with 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese mixed with 2 Tablespoons of applesauce and sprinkled with cinnamon. Especially good warmed in the microwave.

20 - a cup of coffee and a small biscotti.

... 1 cup of blueberries
... two kiwi fruits
... one cup strawberries with a teaspoon of fat free "whipped topping"
... 2 slices of deli turkey, spread with mustard and rolled into lettuce leaves
... 10 cashew nuts
... 3oz low fat cottage cheese and 3 whole wheat crackers
... tomato halves sprinkled with dried bread crumbs and broiled
... 1/2 of a small avocado
... 10 almonds
... 1/2 of an apple with 2 teaspoons peanut butter
... 10 pretzel sticks
.... 1oz cheddar or mozzarella cheese
... 2 wedges laughing cow cheese spread in 2 stalks of celery

Also came up with some of my own,

2 regular sized rice cakes = 90 calories (and I personally think for me that 2 is more than enough, they feel really filling to me)

Laughing Cow cheese- original gives you 2 wedges for 70 calories, their low fat is like 2 wedges for 45 calories, in my Biggest Loser 30 Day Jumpstart book, it says to have that with some sliced turkey lunch meat

For Quaker "Chewy" granola bars the box says 90 calories each (these are the ones that are not coated with chocolate)... they have chocolate chips and marshmallows and stuff and are good for a sweet fix; Kashi does cherry dark chocolate granola bars that I'm not sure about for calories but are probably much healthier also

Animal crackers are about 10 calories each,

1 hard boiled egg is about 85 calories and eggs are soooo good for you

Here are some more lists:

[buttonnose82]

right! we are off food shopping tonight for the week so I have just written a 'meal plan' for our main meal each day and written my shopping list, I will not buy anything other than what is on my list! our meal plan is as follows (some meals are repetative as we will have enough for 2 days of meals as their is only the 2 of us)

Thursday - Chicken, salad & cous cous
Friday - (leftover) Chicken, salad & cous cous
Saturdays - out at MIL's ugh!
Sunday - Homemade turkey meatloaf, potato's and veggies
Monday - Pasta with pesto, bacon & pine nuts with some low fat garlic bread
Tuesday - (leftover) Homemade turkey meatloaf, potato's and veggies
Wednesday - Goulash, rice & veggies

Lunches will be a mixture of soup, tinned spaghetti, salad or sardines on toast

Breakfasts will be cereal, porridge or toast

Snacks will be fresh fruit, dried fruit or low fat yoghurt

How does that sound?

 

[Pyrrhic]

Saturdays - out at MIL's ugh!

Love it!

For the other days, you have a lot of carbs going on. Are you planning on exercising? If so, carbs in small amounts are good a couple of hours before hand If not, I would cut the carbs a bit.

Also, try and stay away from tinned spaghetti. It's just salt, sugar, fat and carbs. No fiber, no protein, etc.

Your breakfasts and snacks sound fab, you're making me hungry now!

 

[buttonnose82]

i have an addiction to carbs! *hangs head in shame* i am trying to cut them back because they set off my IBS if nothing else, although these past few days EVERYTHING is setting off my IBS so pretty miserable

trying to increase my exercise bit by bit

MIL has been a nightmare, asked me last weekend 'what happens to your wedding dress if you get FATTER?' (i haven't put anything on since i picked my dress!) she then said 'hve you thought about joining a gym?' followed by 'you should really join weight watchers', needless to say she made me feel pretty crappy about myself (she doesn't even know i am trying to lose weight to even make those kinda comments)

 

[netty]

forgot my breakfast this am - usually have some fruit when i get to work and only have brought a tuna light lunch and 4 crispbreads and 2 cheese triangles with me to last until 630 when i get home

peed off that i have missed breakfast as i dont want my body to think i am starving it as it will stop metabolising at the same rate

will try and find a before photo later to post tonight and then another one at 2 weeks - personally cant see of feel any difference yet

 

[netty]

button nose that is terrible for your mil to say those things to you
do you get on ok usually about other things or is she a continual pain in the butt?

why not say that her saying those things is not supportive and they really do not help!!!

KimNxBeggsy-- You look GREAT in your pic. But I do understand that you want to keep that figure.

Wow, how rude of her. She's probably miserable and taking the focus off herself and trying to make you feel miseralbe to make herself feel good. Some people do that.

Yepp, those carbs are just as bad as (MIL)

Congratulations on your wedding
