Low-calorie snack FAQs

What qualifies as low-calorie?

There’s no single definition of a ‘low-calorie snack’, but a snack may qualify as lower in calories than others depending on their portion size and ingredients. Checking the calorie content per serving can help you compare options and choose what works for you. That said, calories are only one part of the picture. It’s worth looking at what else your snack offers too – such as protein, fibre, wholegrains, fruit, vegetables or healthy fats.
 

Is popcorn a low-calorie snack?

Yes, popcorn can be a low-calorie snack, depending on how it’s prepared and any added ingredients. It comes in a variety of flavours, offering a crunchy option when you’re in the mood for something savoury or sweet. It’s naturally a wholegrain and can be a good option when you want something crunchy.

Just keep an eye on toppings and portion size, as buttery, sugary or heavily coated popcorn can quickly become higher in calories. Pre-portioned packs can be useful if you’re looking for an easy snack with the calories already counted for you.
 

What makes a satisfying snack option?

A satisfying snack can include a mix of different foods and textures, such as protein, fibre or wholegrain ingredients – ideally a mix of more than one. These nutrients can help your snack feel more satisfying, rather than leaving you hunting through the cupboard again five minutes later.

Options might include Greek-style yoghurt with berries, boiled eggs, roasted chickpeas, veggie sticks with a small portion of houmous, fruit with nut butter or a high-fibre crispbread with cottage cheese. Craving something crunchy? Try popcorn, seaweed snacks or mushroom crisps.
 

What snack options are high in protein?

Snack options that contain protein can vary depending on ingredients and portion size. The best high-protein snack in this case is one that fits your taste, appetite and routine. As a rough guide, look for snacks that offer a good protein hit while still sitting comfortably within your preferred calorie range.

Options include boiled eggs, low-fat Greek-style yoghurt, cottage cheese, chicken slices, tuna pots, edamame beans or a protein yoghurt. Protein bars and shakes can also be convenient, but it’s worth checking the label, as calories, sugar and fibre can vary quite a lot between products.
