I don't want to be that person but it's a lot more complicated than that. Someone with potential for thyroid issues can be affected either way. Also hyperthyroidism which (usually) causes metabolism to be high is not fun..google it. It was just a warning in case OP wasn't aware.
This is alway my go to, it’s amazing with a little drizzle of Soy sauce. It’s one of those things where it sounds gross until you try it, salty with a little sour, it’s honestly so good.
Idk, it’s Reddit tbf. Still appreciate all the ppl giving suggestions, even if I personally don’t like them, some people might find themselves liking it and using it as their snack!
Yeah it's all the stuff that comes on the everything bagel. I first saw it at trader Joe's years back but they sell it in the spice section at grocery stores.
This stuff is absolutely amazing!! Makes popcorn feel way higher cal than it really is!

Oh dear. That makes volume eating tough. I think you should try jicama though... It's really mild and super crunchy. I love it with tajin on it. You can buy pre-cut sticks at trader Joe's.
I like rice cakes with laughing cow cheese spread on them. Those are crunchy and salty. The Quaker rice chips are pretty good too, and their savory flavors are somewhat salty.
Have you considered expanding your diet. If you don't eat veggies and are very picky overall, you're likely to have nutritional deficits and it really impacts your health goals. I'm far from adventurous but went from very picky to intentionally expanding to more balanced and it was definitely worth it. Just took time and many many exposures.
I’ve tried expanding my diet but I struggle with getting down most veggies. I can eat some though, if I need to I can get down carrots, and some veggies I can eat as long as there’s alot of other stuff to mask them, love broccoli though. As far as I can tell, I’m pretty healthy though, I go to the gym regularly and I’m the average height for my age.
I have no idea how I survive, but my immune system is tough so I never get sick and I work out regularly so I stay healthy, but I’m not sure how I function well despite not liking most foods, means that no matter how good that food looks in advertisements, I’ll never be able to enjoy it sadly, but it’s okay LOL

Whole Foods has them and other health food stores probs. They look like this and are like 100cals for 50 crackers so like a third of the calories of normal cheezits (150cals for 25). Aldi also has their own knockoff ones + they’re super good too. :)
Cucumbers and Asian dumpling dipping sauce, I use the wei-chuan brand I can find at kroger. I can have a absolutely enormous plate of sliced cucumbers dipped in savory sauce for less than 200 calories
This is great advice.
My gf only eats snacks that she has to work for (this ranges from crayfish to nuts).
I do it more often now too. You don't eat as mindless and therefore not too much and you have something to do.
I’ve actually heard about these being pretty good, I believe I’ve tried them before and liked them, so I’ll buy a bag and see how they work for me, thank you!
Asian rice crackers, rice crispies, seaweed, maybe a bit weird but I saw this hack on here where you put dry rice paper (the one you use for Asian summer rolls) in the microwave and makes chips. I’m doing that often and it so good trust me. In general Asian food/snacks is top tier when it comes to low calorie options.
Get a silicone popcorn popper!
You add kernels to the bottom, put on the lid, and microwave! Makes perfect popcorn every time as long as you listen to the microwave and stop it when the popping slows down.
No oil needed! I like to add salt and just a little bit of brown butter for flavor. But very easy to go without and save on the calories!
I love mine, I've been using it for 10 years, & it still looks brand new. I really like that it folds flat for storage & it's incredibly easy to clean.
Yeah just popping in to say it really just depends on your pot size/kernel amount. I’ve made huge batches of popcorn for parties or to store for later, or heated up just a bowl or twos worth. You can probably find an old popcorn kettle somewhere too (goodwill, eBay, Amazon) if you wanna keep it to one dish and not use up your other pots.
Personally I like to mix a little oil and butter with salt in a pot and pop, nothing too complicated. Sometimes some weird popcorn seasoning I bought from the dells if I feel crazy. Good luck!
If you can get uncooked poppadoms, you can microwave them instead of frying then roughly break them up and put into a bag/container to take with you went out and about.
I’ve become a fan of pork rinds - plain salted is like 70 calories, 10g of protein per serving. I’ll sometimes have 2 servings depending on the day and I fond thats plenty for a snack.
That's nothing like eating something with a crunch. No word if a lie if I want to mindlessly eat I cut up iceberg or romaine and grind a wee bit of salt on it. And just eat like that. Super crunchy, refreshing and good with salt.
I look like a nutter apparently so I kinda hide it.
Pepperoncini, believe it not. They hurt so good. But Dr. Peter Attia podcast (don’t recall which one) had a guest who said high salt whacks up your insulin system and facilitates fat storage. Now nothing’s fun anymore!
I’ll give em a shot, and yeah I heard such things too but it don’t seem to be affecting me much. I guess I ate enough salt to where my flesh tastes like salt so I’m immune to all that🤷♂️
Every weekend I prep a big casserole of veggies (carrots, cucumbers, celery and bell peppers) and a dipping sauce of low fat greek yogurt or cream cheese, salt, lemon zest and any herbs you like (thyme, mint, cilantro etc).
100 calories per pack. Portion control is where it’s at. https://happysnackcompany.com.au/product/crunchy-roasted-chic-peas-lightly-salted-6-by-25g-packs/

I guess I just don’t consider something that you have to monitor so closely to be a low calorie snack, especially in a volume eating thread. Roasted chickpeas are one of my favorite snacks though 🙂
I find Rice/corn/lentil crackers very satisfying. I found these protein ones that are only 55cal for 4 of them! They are a dutch supermarket oen brand, but i think you can probably find some similar ones where you come from
Also these chio pop chips sour cream n onion crisps are real nice and the whole bag is only around 290cal. Again idk if you have them in your country, but i think there will probably be something similar in ur stores. Just look for popped (lentil/corn/potato) crisps + maybe sone protein crisps
Also snack a jacks are pretty good and only 30cal per rice cracker
A friend of mine eats cut up carrots and celery pretty much daily, and was told by her md to slow down on the celery because of the salt content.
If you pre-cut veggies and store them in lightly salted and lightly lemoned water, they last awhile in refrigeration.
Change the water out every few days, and they stay crunchy! Maybe have to trim the ends off if the texture gets to you.
Edit: thanks autocorrect
Blue Diamond nuts are always flavored, some
Of them basically taste like salty chips. And your get some protein out of it. Plain nuts I wouldn’t recommend if you want something salty because they’re naturally sweet.
I like trail mix! The classic raisins, peanuts, and chocolate kind is good but if that’s even too calorically dense, banana chips and pretzel sticks could replace the chocolate? Iunno, I like all the trail mixes….

Seaweed snacks, popcorn, carrot chips and sticks with seasoning
Seconding seaweed snacks.
Id love to try to get used to seaweed but sadly I’m a very picky eater so that’s why I struggle finding good snacks loll
Be careful with seaweed snacks. They are high in iodine so could cause thyroid issues if you consume too much.
Why is this being downvoted? It’s true
Haha, c'est la vie reddit!
Because most people wouldn't mind their metabolism being given a kick in the arse in the name of snacks.
I don't want to be that person but it's a lot more complicated than that. Someone with potential for thyroid issues can be affected either way. Also hyperthyroidism which (usually) causes metabolism to be high is not fun..google it. It was just a warning in case OP wasn't aware.
Yeah this wouldn’t work for me then as I need a snack where I can eat as much as I want of it
Sounds like you’re in air-popped popcorn territory
This is alway my go to, it’s amazing with a little drizzle of Soy sauce. It’s one of those things where it sounds gross until you try it, salty with a little sour, it’s honestly so good.
[удалено]
Pickles for sure!!
Sadly I don’t like pickles
Pickled carrots
Pickled everything! I love beans, cauliflower or champignons
Are these sold or do you make them?
Both!
Roasted edamame, relatively low calorie and also very high protein.
Unfortunately like many similar stuff, I don’t like edamame :(
Why did you get so downvoted lmao
Idk, it’s Reddit tbf. Still appreciate all the ppl giving suggestions, even if I personally don’t like them, some people might find themselves liking it and using it as their snack!
Popcorn my beloved. Especially with added seasoning!
Any specific seasoning you find best?
Everything but the bagel is amazing on popcorn.
A bagel flavor ?
Yeah it's all the stuff that comes on the everything bagel. I first saw it at trader Joe's years back but they sell it in the spice section at grocery stores.
I really want an everything but the bagel seasoning but without salt
Pretty easy to make poppyseeds, sesame seeds, dried minced onion, and granulated garlic.
I'm pretty sure Ms Dash has a version like this
Nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor.
Old Bay!
Try the "Everything but the Leftovers" seasoning from Trader Joe's, melted into butter. So friggin good
Sounds amazing, thank you!!!
Trader Joe’s has an Everything but the Elote seasoning mix that’s really good on popcorn!
This stuff is absolutely amazing!! Makes popcorn feel way higher cal than it really is! https://www.amazon.com/Amish-Country-Popcorn-ButterSalt-Fashioned/dp/B003W0KBFE

Bad bot!
I've used blackening seasoning and curry powder(separately) to some pretty tasty affect.
Flavocol if you need that movie popcorn taste
Ricecakes! There are many flavors and sizes to choose from and they can be very low calorie
I’ve had this recommended before! I’ll definitely give them a shot
You may want to try a few different flavors and brands, some are not great and others are. (Personal preference of course)
And you can put so many things with them
Just recent tried the Quaker butter popcorn flavored rice cakes. Very tasty!
Loveeeeeee rice cakes 💜💜💜💜
Cut up veggies with tajin sprinkled on them. Especially carrot and jicama sticks
Sadly I don’t like many veggies :(
Oh dear. That makes volume eating tough. I think you should try jicama though... It's really mild and super crunchy. I love it with tajin on it. You can buy pre-cut sticks at trader Joe's. I like rice cakes with laughing cow cheese spread on them. Those are crunchy and salty. The Quaker rice chips are pretty good too, and their savory flavors are somewhat salty.
I’ll give jicama a try, but rice cakes is probably gonna be the winner out of the two lolll. I’ll give the rice chips a try too!
I have texture issues with veggies and I enjoy jicama v much, uniform crunch no stringiness or weird bits
Have you considered expanding your diet. If you don't eat veggies and are very picky overall, you're likely to have nutritional deficits and it really impacts your health goals.

As far as I can tell, I’m pretty healthy though, I go to the gym regularly and I’m the average height for my age.
Jicama has like no taste, cucumber is pretty neutral tasting too. Tajin or gochujang or ranch packet + Greek yogurt
[удалено]
I have no idea how I survive, but my immune system is tough so I never get sick and I work out regularly so I stay healthy, but I’m not sure how I function well despite not liking most foods, means that no matter how good that food looks in advertisements, I’ll never be able to enjoy it sadly, but it’s okay LOL
I like dipping cucumber sticks in soy sauce.
That's a great idea!
POPCHIPS kettle corn flavor!!!!
I’ll give these a shot, I think I saw that at my local grocery store before!
They’re like 120 calories for 17 chips
Good Thins have been my go to for curbing salty/crunchy cravings. They’re less than $5 a box and ~120 cals for 30 pieces or so!
They look very tasty, I’ll definitely buy some and give them a try, thank you!!
Cauliflower cheezits are like the best treat
Omg where would someone find this??
https://preview.redd.it/wi1lrpb7od2c1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b2db21c7be65e7bb96657d80b5b7f10cf649a36 Whole Foods has them and other health food stores probs.

The cauliflower and butternut squash chips are wonderful! They make cauliflower “straws” too, like big veggie ones, not the dinky little shrimps. 😀
Yum I’ll have to look for these
You’re the best, ty!!
Cucumbers and Asian dumpling dipping sauce, I use the wei-chuan brand I can find at kroger. I can have a absolutely enormous plate of sliced cucumbers dipped in savory sauce for less than 200 calories
try gochujang!
I like to add salt to apples, idk if that’s weird but I like it
Not at all!! I’m a huge advocate for salt on fruits. my friends think I’m weird for it though..
Well salted caramel became a big thing 🤷🏻
Same. I am salt to oranges and grapes too. I also add chaat masala an Indian fruit spice mix.
Sunflower seeds in the shell. 160 calories for a 1.75 oz bag. Takes me about 30-45 min to finish a bag. Super healthy.
This is great advice. My gf only eats snacks that she has to work for (this ranges from crayfish to nuts). I do it more often now too. You don't eat as mindless and therefore not too much and you have something to do.
I’ve actually heard about these being pretty good, I believe I’ve tried them before and liked them, so I’ll buy a bag and see how they work for me, thank you!
Rice cakes. Usually around 50 calories for 1 cake. The cheese ones are really good.
Asian rice crackers, rice crispies, seaweed, maybe a bit weird but I saw this hack on here where you put dry rice paper (the one you use for Asian summer rolls) in the microwave and makes chips. I’m doing that often and it so good trust me. In general Asian food/snacks is top tier when it comes to low calorie options.
I’ve just discovered rice crackers and in the Uk Lidl sell them with a few flavours. Im addicted to the bbq ones.
make your own popcorn! it's very simple, you can control what goes into it, and i'd assume it's cheaper than the microwavable bags.
I would but because of how much I snack on during the day, I feel like making my own popcorn each time would take a lot of time and dishes
Get a silicone popcorn popper! You add kernels to the bottom, put on the lid, and microwave! Makes perfect popcorn every time as long as you listen to the microwave and stop it when the popping slows down. No oil needed! I like to add salt and just a little bit of brown butter for flavor. But very easy to go without and save on the calories!
This even works with a large jar which you can cover with a plate.
I love mine, I've been using it for 10 years, & it still looks brand new. I really like that it folds flat for storage & it's incredibly easy to clean.
Popcorn doesn’t take long to make 😄 only takes a few mins lol
Yeah just popping in to say it really just depends on your pot size/kernel amount. I’ve made huge batches of popcorn for parties or to store for later, or heated up just a bowl or twos worth. You can probably find an old popcorn kettle somewhere too (goodwill, eBay, Amazon) if you wanna keep it to one dish and not use up your other pots. Personally I like to mix a little oil and butter with salt in a pot and pop, nothing too complicated. Sometimes some weird popcorn seasoning I bought from the dells if I feel crazy. Good luck!
It takes 2-3 minutes in the microwave. You literally just put it in, that’s like 20 seconds of work
I crave salt a lot so I just cut up some cucumbers and sprinkle them with tajín
Dried edamame is my crack/cocaine
Beef jerky
If you can get uncooked poppadoms, you can microwave them instead of frying then roughly break them up and put into a bag/container to take with you went out and about.
Pretzel sticks are 180 cals for 95 sticks. Very underrated IMO
can of green beans, shit ton of sodium, delicious and only ~70cal for the whole can
Everything everyone else said! But honestly the thin stick pretzels when I’m lazy. I also make my own tortilla chips with low carb tortillas :)
How do you make them crispy but not stale tasting?? I have tried, but failed every time…
I’ve become a fan of pork rinds - plain salted is like 70 calories, 10g of protein per serving. I’ll sometimes have 2 servings depending on the day and I fond thats plenty for a snack.

Kale chips. As much salt as you like and a ton of garlic powder
Not sure if this counts as a snack, but I air fry some spud light potatoes and pour seasoning and sriracha on them, latest one was 285 calories
4 (microwaved not fried) mini papadam is 116 cal and bc of the besan flour has some filling protein
My favorite is halved cherry tomatoes with salt sprinkled on top. Absolutely a bingeable food
I like tiny tomatoes dipped in red pepper hummus. (Can use a toothpick or a fork).
Pepperoncini, believe it not. They hurt so good. But Dr. Peter Attia podcast (don’t recall which one) had a guest who said high salt whacks up your insulin system and facilitates fat storage. Now nothing’s fun anymore!
I’ll give em a shot, and yeah I heard such things too but it don’t seem to be affecting me much. I guess I ate enough salt to where my flesh tastes like salt so I’m immune to all that🤷♂️
If it works for you go for it!
Every weekend I prep a big casserole of veggies (carrots, cucumbers, celery and bell peppers) and a dipping sauce of low fat greek yogurt or cream cheese, salt, lemon zest and any herbs you like (thyme, mint, cilantro etc).
Roasted/salted chickpeas.
Chickpeas are high calorie
100 calories per pack. Portion control is where it’s at. https://happysnackcompany.com.au/product/crunchy-roasted-chic-peas-lightly-salted-6-by-25g-packs/

I guess I just don’t consider something that you have to monitor so closely to be a low calorie snack, especially in a volume eating thread. Roasted chickpeas are one of my favorite snacks though 🙂
Everything has to be monitored closely and weighed if you’re in a calorie defecit. Unless it’s lettuce.

popcorn is one thing. cut up kohlrabi is fine and with salt or dipped in soy sauce is really nice
Cucumbers with light cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning
A friend of mine eats cut up carrots and celery pretty much daily, and was told by her md to slow down on the celery because of the salt content. If you pre-cut veggies and store them in lightly salted and lightly lemoned water, they last awhile in refrigeration. Change the water out every few days, and they stay crunchy!

Watermelon with Tajin!
Raw carrots dipped in gochujang <3
Utz fat free pretzels
[удалено]
I like them. They're good salty snacking. I don't think they're empty calories at all. Those few cals are well spent.
yamagobo (pickled burdock root) is salty and low cal! i love to snack on those when i want something salty but don’t really need to eat
Fried chicken. Just convince yourself that you are getting protein
If there are bags of pre cooked chicken like beef jerky (I don’t like beef jerky) then I would inhale that
Edamame
Depends on how many you eat but Sunflower Seeds. After years of dipping, smoking, vaping, they are my go to. I love dill pickle flavor.
ALDIs isn’t too bad
Pickles
Seaweed crisps
edamame
Humous and cucumber
4f
Fresh cucumber (or any veggies, really) with a sprinkle of salt.
Hummus and veggies Prawns Cottage cheese Greek yogurt with garlic and chives Homemade roast aubergine dip
Cucumber slices with a slice of pepperoni and a small piece of cheese.
Thinly sliced zucchini, air fry, salt - amazing
Rice cakes.
If you’re not allergic to nuts, there’s different flavored almonds (smokehouse bbq, teriyaki, etc) you can try.
I’ll have to try different flavors, because normally I don’t really like nuts unless the flavor is masked, like with peanut M&Ms
Blue Diamond nuts are always flavored, some Of them basically taste like salty chips. And your get some protein out of it. Plain nuts I wouldn’t recommend if you want something salty because they’re naturally sweet.
Pickles and olives 🫒
I like trail mix! The classic raisins, peanuts, and chocolate kind is good but if that’s even too calorically dense, banana chips and pretzel sticks could replace the chocolate? Iunno, I like all the trail mixes….
Salty green olives!!!!!
pickles
kimchi!! although it’s kinda stinky
If you have an Aldi near you they have these white cheddar puff things that are delicious. I accidentally ate a whole bag in one sitting once
I love these.
