I am calorie counting and trying to diversify my snacks. I am going to go crazy if I keep eating carrots.

Almonds

Ummm...almonds are not low calorie?

Roasted chickpeas, maybe? You can season them however you like. Or this looks good:

I have never had chickpeas but they look delicious! Will have to find some to try.

Maybe plain, unbuttered and unsalted popcorn?

That is what I was thinking of, though I might get some powdered spices (like onion or cheddar) for some variety.

Plain popcorn is the only low calorie snack I can think of that I eat.

I cut processed sugar out of my diet and now I eat pretty much constantly. I lost 85lbs in two years and have kept it off another two years. I hate counting calories because it meant starving myself and not losing weight or not improving my health.

I got too much of a sweet tooth to cut out sugar. :( But I don't drink any soda or anything which helps! Just trying to lose the last 20 pounds for my goal.

I am going to go buy some brown paper bags and kernels sometime this week!

Yup, looks like I am going to invest in a lot of popcorn this week!

Cold cucumber or frozen grapes on hot days.
I love tomato and rocket (arugula if you're american I think) salad without dressing if I get nice sweet cherry tomatoes or something.

Not a fan of tomatoes but I love cucumbers and grapes. Freezing them is a good idea now that the hellish summer is here.

Watermeleon which should be in season in a month. Fruit popsicles are good too, there's low calorie recipes online.

Edamane too! It's good with a little sea salt.

If you like pickled things, pickle the carrots in vinegar and salted water with some onion, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, peppercorns, and hot peppers? You could do the same with sweet peppers and cauliflower or a mix of veggies.

Also if you have a sweet tooth and like fruit get some miracle berry tablets. Miracle berries are native to parts of Africa where people eat a lot of sourish fermented grain pancakes and porridges and stuff. The berries contain a chemical that blocks the receptors for sour tastes on your tongue for 1/2 hour to 2 hours after eating them, so you taste sugar in fruit and unsweetened yogurt and so on that is usually masked by sourness.

Even lemons taste like lemonade, although I only tried that once because straight lemon juice isn’t exactly stomach friendly. It makes most fruit taste like fruit candy. I haven’t had any luck growing the plants—they like consistent warmth, humidity, and acid soil—but I buy tablets made from the freeze-dried fruit off Amazon every year for stocking stuffers. They’re kind of expensive, but if you only use one once a week to get a sugar fix in, it’s not that pricey.

I have been meaning to try those! Mostly with my sisters to try all the foods.

My favorite snack is a half cup of whole milk and 2 crackers (~120). Very satisfying.

I'm really into cool whip lately (1/2 cup = 100). It's sweet but light. Sometimes I dollop it into tea or dip berries in it. Or eat it like ice cream. (I really like dairy.)

Also into those 0 cal flavored, carbonated waters.

Soup is pretty low cal. Sometimes I microwave a half cup of chicken broth and add a very small handful of goldfish crackers to it.

Crackers like saltines?

Popcorn with just salt, no butter. There are some tasty brands. Celery sticks.

I think I might get some kernels and brown paper bags to make my own.

Dill pickles, though they have a lot of salt
Celery
Many types of fruit, depending on how much you eat
Dry cereals (a fair few are 110 or 120 calories for 3/4 to 1 cup)

I like the mini sweet peppers with hummus--although that can stop being low-calorie very quickly if you really like hummus.

Also, thinly sliced apples or pears with a little cheese and ham.

Clementines go nicely with a couple of shortbread cookies or those Biscoff cinnamon wafers. I also like Anna's ginger or almond cookies--they're very thin, but the flavor is intense, so you can nibble them for a long time.

Strawberries are going to be perfect soon. Best is to pick your own if you can get them.

I've made water ices with honeydew, watermelon (with mint) and pink grapefruit--all delicious and refreshing.
