I frequently get asked by people who see my immense weight loss (not to brag) about what I like to snack on so I thought I’d throw something together.

Below are snacks I like to eat when I’m dieting. I won’t say they’re necessarily something I’d always go for in my non-dieting times. But hey, if you can get into that gear, this stuff tastes good as fuck.

Bomb Pops

40 Calorie a piece frozen goodness. Only ever go with this brand and you’ll never go wrong. I’ve never tried an imitation that truly satisfied me or was even close to as good or matching the flavor profile, even Popsicle brand.

No Sugar Added Original Fudge Pops

40 Calorie a piece tasty treat, for the chocolate lovers. Not like, amazing, but a solid frozen selection.

Protein One Snack Bars

90 Calories. These ones are newer to the snack game, and a lot more satisfying than a lot of snack bars (I’m looking at you KIND bars). Definitely won’t scratch a candy bar itch, but it’ll give you a little something to bite down on and taste decent.

100-Calorie Pack Dark Chocolate Almonds

These are my personal fav in the nut world. The chocolaty goodness. I do enjoy some whole natural, salted, or other flavors from time to time, but these ones are great.

Pacific Gold Beef Jerky

90 Calorie bags. I used to get these at Costco before they built the BJ’s close to me. Any Jerky is great in my book and it’s mostly lower calorie, just find your jam and rock out.

Special K Pastry Crisps

100 calories a pack. These ones are, at best, the saddest diet-friendly Pop-Tarts. I’d really love to be able to rationalize a Pop-Tart while on a diet, but no. That’s a slippery slope, void of nutritional value.

Vlasic Dill Spears

Dill pickles are negative calories guys! I love them so much, especially the zesty (mildly spicy) dill spears by Vlasic. Also I enjoy Safie! Pickled Carrots, but asshole Meijer stopped carrying them. I love dill pickles almost as much as I hate all non-dill pickles because they’re all inedible garbage. Almost as bad as every olive ever. FUCK OLIVES.

Orange Creamsicles

These typically range from 80-100 calories each. I love orange stuff a lot for some reason. Knock-off or name brand, love em all. Also those orange push-ups are in the same calorie range, but it just doesn’t seem like there’s as much there.

Orville Redenbacher’s Smart Pop! Popcorn

100-Calories a bag! I love the Kettle Corn because I inherited my father’s sweet tooth, but I like the original too. Obviously not as good as the original/full-flavored, but that’s diet life for you. Don’t compare Marlboro Ultra Lights to Marlboro Reds, you go with the Ultra Lights because you’re a health nut and you care about your body, right?

Jazz Apples

Depending on who you ask, these are roughly 80 calories for a medium-large size apple. I prefer these apples OVER ALL OTHERS. I will not hear you out about your overrated Honey Crisps. I enjoy Granny Smiths (salted of course), but nothing compares 2 U, Jazzy baby! They’re not always in stock and it bums me the fuck out.

Post done.
