Those fibre one in the microwave with alpro plant based custard is a game changer. 85 calories for fibre one and 75 calories per 100g custard i believe. Feels like you are having a real dessert!

They’re these
They’re bigger than fun size. Fun size is a good shout though, just looked and a fun size Mars is only 80 cals so an even better option if you’re trying to keep the cals low.Guessing fun size? I live off Cadbury’s fun size chocolates of an evening with a brew, think Chomp is the least calories (50ish) and Crunchie the most at 80ish

I find if you freeze things they can last longer when your grazing. Like if you freeze your small chocolate bars they last forever with a cuppa 
also frozen grapes are so nice in the summer time as are frozen low fat yogurts. If you feel like your always hungry increase your protein intake as that is what fills you for longer.. Even if your not working out a protein bar is great as a snack as its nice and sweet and really filling x

I made a kind of watermelon slushy the other day inspired by a cocktail recipe I saw - easy, cut up the watermelon into icecube size pieces, freeze it. When it is frozen blend with some lime and mint, so refreshing!

God I can’t stand those, they taste like they've been made with swimming pool water
.I have a real sweet tooth so love milky bar mousses, fibre one bars or those little 95cal Mars bars. Savoury snacks I like the souther fried fridge raiders or marmite rice cakes.

I love watermelon!! So low in calories can basically have as much as you like plus it’s mainly water so getting your water intake too!

I have a real sweet tooth in the evenings after dinner. These are great with a cup of tea, the chocolate brownie ones are also delicious. They really take the sweet craving away for me.
Also I find having strawberries, raspberries, grapes etc washed and ready to go in the fridge so I just grab a handful works too!

I have an entire snack cupboard where nothing is over 100 cals
My top savoury picks
Space raider crisps especially the beef ones - about 60 cals
Ditto the Lidl version of Quavers, which are much nicer than Quavers and only about 80p for 10 bags and 65 cals a bag. Keep them in the fridge (sounds odd I know but it makes them really crunchy!)
Plus the usual stuff like seafood sticks, carrot, cucumber - if you need a dip, make something out of quark and add maybe a bit of chilli sauce or something to give it some flavour, alternatively some of the Skinny sauces are quite nice (although they all taste very similar!)
Sweet:
Fibre One cake bars as mentioned above are great, especially if you put them in the microwave for about 15 secs. Serve with yoghurt or low cal icecream (Halo is good but expensive, Morrisons own one is good and much cheaper!)
Aldo do their own version of Fibre One bars
Also
Skinny Whips or Bliss Whip Bars
Skinny Crunch too which are about 75 cals
My absolute favourite are Bliss Crispy Delight bars (only found them in Home Bargains) which are 94 cals of deliciousness
Also Freddos are good if you need a proper chocolate hit and 99 cals, and you also can't beat a Curly Wurly, especially if you put in the freezer as it makes you eat it really slowly!

I’ve taken to slicing apple really thin (like a mandolin style thin), tossing them in a little cinnamon and air frying them-they are surprisingly lovely.
also have a glass of water before you snack. That way you get filled up quicker AND you get your water up.

Plain yogurt is a great source of protein if you don’t add any jam. Vegetable sticks (like cucumber) can be nice to munch on, too. Make sure you drink plenty of water, as your body can mistake thirst for hunger.

Here are mine:
Sugar free jelly
Carrot
Packet of skips/pom bears.
Apple sliced and fried in fry light with cinnamon.
Cuppa soup.
I have fruits in the freezer but they make my hands cold when eating.
I'll be back when I think of some more

I highly recommend the choc strawberry and the choc mint ones.
Just a word of warning re freezing choc, a friend of mine did and it broke her back tooth.
I have a similar problem re snacking. Trying to be strict and stay away from the cupboards. I think its worse because I work from home so much more now. I've tried setting alarms for mid morning snack, lunch then afternoon snack as I'm terrible for grazing.

I buy these freeze dried strawberries, they’re super crunchy and a bit like sweets... but 64cals per bag
I also love seafood sticks which are like 15 calories each.
I don’t really eat fruit tbh but I’m pretty sure that raspberries and other berries are higher in fibre than other fruits so will help keep you fuller.... as will any protein.

I need to do something about my snacking problem. When I’m bored I eat whatever I can find. It doesn’t really matter what it is, I just need to always be grazing on something. I thought I was smart just sticking to things like rice crackers, unsalted popcorn or fruit but even those things rack up calories when you eat enough of it. Aside from celery is there anything else that I can just constantly munch on that isn’t going to make me even fatter?! Even my “sized up” jeans are tight on me now

May not be low calorie as such but I can eat some cereal like dry like crisps. Curiously Cinnamon and chocolate shredded wheat. It fills you up more than crisps and cure a sweet crave for me.
Chick peas are also finning and better than say peanuts. Drain a can and spread in a baking tray. Sprinkle with salt and carbolic powder, paprika, cumin, whatever seasoning you fancy, and bake for 10 mins for warm chick peas or half an hour or so until they toast up and go harder like little nuts.
