50 Healthy Snacks Under 200 Calories That You Will Love! | Trimmed and Toned.
I’ve been getting myself re-acquainted with calories in certain foods. I do this every so often. I know many people detest any knowledge of caloric value — they think it just adds one more item to an already overloaded daily schedule, haha. For myself, I want to know what nutritional value (or lack of it) the foods I am consuming have, but I do not like to constantly think about calories, etc. So, I solve this problem by periodically refreshing my memory. Or, sometimes, I might start enjoying a new food or recipe I want to know a little more about. Besides reading labels, nutrition apps & websites help me out tremendously in this quest. Not only with calories, but sugar, sodium, fat, protein, vitamin, and mineral content as well. I also LOVE food blogs that include nutritional information with their recipes. Takes all the guess-work out of it for us! If you’re at a restaurant and think it appropriate (not a rude tech interruption), you can always use apps for a quick search for menu items. Some apps even have chain restaurant and fast-food items already in their system. Otherwise, portion control techniques like the ones here always come in handy.
I am a big snacker, and many times I try to keep my snacks to about 100-150 calories. But, depending on the entire day’s consumption & activity levels, I may go as high as 200-250. I do have days I just go for indulgence, though, lol. It’s an individual thing, of course, but I thought I would share this under 200 cal post. Lots of yummy-looking options to choose from. For the most part, snacks and meals with healthy ingredients that start tipping the scales in calories per (reasonable) portion become somewhat unhealthy in my book (unless you really adjust the rest of the day’s meals). Or, many people assume certain foods (they’ve been taught are healthy) can be eaten in unlimited quantities. I think this is one possible reason some get frustrated while restricting. My Fitness & Sports Science classmate tickled me by saying she couldn’t lose weight because of hummus. With all the good-for-you olive oil & things, she said she was eating it by the shovel. Then, one day, she looked at the calories and the “light came on,” lol. I also had a co-worker trying to lose a bit, but she kept consuming bowls full of nuts and calorie-dense foods. Knowledge is power!

I also wanted to share these 2 Sweetness free eCookbooks I found on the same site as the Healthy Appetizers post. I’m really enjoying that site! They have several eCookbook offerings, so make sure to take a look. Remember, you can always improvise ingredients if you do not have everything available (or to better accommodate your personal taste or diet/lifestyle).
Happy Healthy Snacking!
