13 100-Calorie Snack Ideas

|

Registered dietitian Cara Stewart, RD, provides some quick snack ideas - all under 100 calories. 

Pre-packaged 100-calorie snacks may seem like a wise option to control calories, but despite the low calorie count, they are often highly processed foods that contain some less than healthy ingredients. While they may satisfy a craving for something salty or sweet, they don’t contain protein or fiber to sustain energy levels and keep you feeling satisfied. Enjoy some of these quick and easy 100-calorie snacks to fuel you through your day.
