How about some low calorie ideas to help get you through that mid-afternoon hunger spike or post dinner cravings?

You have to admit, we all get ‘snaky’ every now and then! Whether it’s from having a bigger day at work, or a sugar craving coming on, you are only human when experiencing these feelings! I use to struggle with these feelings thinking that I was just constantly hungry, which would end up overeating towards the end of the day/night when restricting myself during the day! If you’ve done this/felt like this, then hopefully these snack ideas will help you too!

During the day type of snack:

• YoPro/Chobani Fit Yoghurt : AVG Macros per serve – 93 cal, 6.6C, 0.5F, 15.2P
  (I love all flavours of these, but mango is my preference)
• Lite Jelly : Macros for all – literally nothing! (5-7cal)
• Cobs Popcorn : per 25g serve : 95cal, 10C, 4.9F, 1.4P
  (can get these in serving packs or in a big bag)
• Corn thins: 2 thins: 46cal, 8C, 0.4F, 1.2P. With Mayvers Organic Crunchy Peanut Butter : 162cal, 10.7C, 10.2F, 6.2P
