Discover how much of your favorite foods to eat when you only want a 100 calorie healthy snack.

Chocolate Chips: 2 Tbsp

It may not be enough to make a batch of your favorite cookies, but throw this amount of chocolate morsels in a bag with a palm full of walnuts, and you have yourself the perfect to-go trail mix.

Blueberries: 1 Cup

With this many blueberries, you have more than enough calorie room to enjoy them on top of a refreshing frozen yogurt (1 cup is only 200 calories). It doesn’t hurt that this antioxidant-packed fruit is great for your skin, too!

Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Kisses: 5

Studies have shown that dark chocolate lowers both blood pressure and cholesterol. Only five of these bittersweet kisses and you can cure any heartbreak—the low-calorie way, of course.

Twix Minis: 2

Reach for these miniature Twix instead of the full-size version (which is actually two candy bars) to satisfy that same chocolate, caramel, cookie craving for half the calories.

Peanut M&Ms: 10

Who doesn’t love peanuts and chocolate together? At 10 calories a piece, it’s easy to overdo it. An easy way to get instant portion control? Buy the snack-size packs.
