You're Home Alone, Dieting and Starved. What is Your Low-Fat Snack?

It seems like all good snacks are fattening. Am I wrong? I like chips and guacomole and will buy baked chips today. What is a semi-filling low-fat snack or does such an animal exist?

Well I am not a dieter, but I really like to snack on almonds. There a lots of different flavors. They are not “low fat” but they are pretty healthy.
Oatcakes with low-fat cream-cheese.
I don’t know about low fat… I don’t pay much attention to fat as I do calories.
An entire can of tuna is between 80 and 100 calories. I add some celery and the smallest amount of light miracle whip as makes it palatable, and throw it on a salad, or add some lettuce and eat it on a tortilla. Probably cut it in half and share it with my little one.
Hummus and pita chips is a low fat snack, and very cheap to make on your own, both hummus and pita. Sometimes I like a salad but eating only veggies makes me hungrier so I usually pair it with bread.
almond butter on a cabbage leaf or lettuce leaf. quite filling
Ummmm, i don’t really do the low fat snack thing, but i do like raw carrots dipped in mayo. Or raw celery dipped in sweet chilli sauce. Or tomato with sour cream on. Or a homemade fruit (banana and mango) smoothie! Or a fruit salad with plain greek yoghurt on top drizzled with honey.
I’ve never done a diet per se. But when I’m healthy snackin’ I go for hummus and baby carrots or almonds.
I love Cheerios and skim milk!
@BoBo1946 whole grain cheerios, I trust!
@Seek_Kolinahr a tuna taco. hmmm Nice suggestions.
I have never had hummus. Where do u get that?
@downtide I liked your suggestion!
Hummus is sold in the cooler section either by the specialty cheeses or near the cold cut meats.
Sugar free jello can be tasty for a sweet snack as well.
Nuts of all kinds, dark chocolate.
I eat a Luna Bar, or a small bag of peanuts (probably a lot of fat in the nuts, but they hold me over)
@Aster I only thought of the oatcakes because I visited Scotland this week and brought some home.
PICKLES!!! I’m sorry if you’re allergic..or don’t like them…lol but they are a great snack for when I’m starving but don’t want to blow my appetite or calorie counting :) hope that helps!!!
