Best Low-Calorie Snacks

This hub rounds up crunchy, sweet, and savory snacks that clock in under 150 calories per serving. Think salty pea crisps for the chip craving, sugar-free gelatin cups when you want dessert but not the calorie load, and parmesan crisps or keto-style sandwich cookies when you want something that feels a little indulgent without going overboard. The goal isn’t to be perfect; it’s to have options that scratch the itch and keep you on track between meals. Real talk: low calorie doesn’t automatically mean filling or nutrient-dense. The snacks that tend to satisfy best bring either protein (cheese crisps), fiber (pea crisps), or lots of volume for minimal calories (gelatin). Sweet, low-cal treats often rely on non-nutritive sweeteners, which some people love and others don’t. Saltier snacks can drift higher in sodium, so it’s worth a peek at the label if you’re watching that. Budget-wise, single-serve convenience costs more per ounce. Save by buying multi-packs, going for store brands of gelatin cups, or snagging warehouse-sized bags and portioning at home. Specialty keto cookies like Catalina Crunch are pricier, but they can be a strategic add if one cookie sandwich keeps you out of a bakery detour. And no, you don’t have to eat like a robot: pairing a 10-calorie gelatin cup with a few berries, or a handful of Harvest Snaps with sliced cukes, can make your snack feel like an actual mini moment—still under 150.
