The dreaded evening urge to nibble. What are your ideas for low cal. snacks?

[Laiste]

You know when you just want to EAT SOMETHING in the evening, but are trying to cut back on calories? If i just ignore the urge I often end up pigging on a pile of buttered toast at about 9pm 😣🙄

Better to be prepared! My ideas are:

Frozen grapes
Ice pops
Bowl of rice crispies

but i'm getting bored with them and too many frozen grapes give me the sh*ts. What do you have on standby?

Glass of sparkling water to fill your tummy up

Go for a walk

Go to bed earlier, or at least go upstairs. It is incredibly difficult to lose weight if you aren’t getting enough sleep.

But you can have them as late snacks which is what the problem is?

Think all of my go-to snacks have been mentioned but just incase:

Melon,
Gherkins,
Pickled onions,
Cherry tomatoes,
Cheese with pineapple chunks,
Sugar free jelly (I prefer the ones you have to makeup yourself as I make them stronger and more firm than the ready made ones)
Laughing cow blue cheese triangles with rice cakes,
Chickpeas roasted in the oven with spices until crispy,
Miso soup,

A sort of trifle made up with sugar free jelly rolled with low sugar/low fat custard and a few hundreds and thousands on top of you're feeling fancy

And me! Drink the vinegar too.
What about an oxo cube made into a drink in a mug ( 10 calories) ( salty and satisfying)

I eat these if I ever have a ‘snacky/sweet craving. Not all the time because it was just be extortionate.

A few Whole raw almonds (skin on). Eaten one by one SLOWLY. Follow up with tea or a glass of water to wash them down. 🌹

😁i forgot gallo's Summer fruits rose wine too. If you're partial to a glass but want to keep if light. Very sweet tho.

I just figure if I'm gonna snack I want to make it count and feel less like diet food and more like snack food.

Olives?

Herbal tea?

Go for a walk instead? Quick round the block with the dog?

Bath?

Brush your teeth and go to bed?

This is excellent advice

Sugar free jelly made with part water part 0% fat greek yoghurt, like a milk jelly. Yum.
