Klondike Slim-a-Bear 100 Calorie Bars

The good- Good flavor (despite having chocolate "flavored" coating and vanilla "flavored" ice cream), I mean GOOD flavor. The "chocolate" coating has a great krispy texture to it, much like the regular Klondike bars.

The bad- it's pretty small, compared to a regular Klondike bar. It probably measures about 2.5-3" in diameter and about a 1/2" thick. Still, it does the job for those who can't afford the enormous amount of calories in a regular Klondike bar.
It's just enough to ward off a sweet tooth attack, particularly if you eat it a little slower and savor the taste.

Healthy Choice Kielbasa

I LOVE Kielbasa. Love it, love it, love it. But it's soooo high in calories, that I can't really justify eating it except on holidays (it's a breakfast staple for Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter, but don't ask me why). But now, Healthy Choice has kielbasa which is really pretty good. It doesn't get as crispy on the outside, which I kind of miss, but the flavor is good, and it's got 160 calories in 4 ozs (a typical meat serving), though they list the serving size as 2 oz (and 80 calories). Even the kids like it. So I give this a big thumbs up!

Special K Cereal Bars

Special K Bars are a great snack that comes in under 100 calories (only 90!) The Chocolatey Drizzle is a perfect sweet snack with a nice crunch, but I find the Vanilla Crisp to be almost too sweet. There should be a flavor though to suit your tastes as there are at least 6 flavors to choose from. Nearly all of them are available on amazon.com, which had a few flavors I hadn't seen at our local grocery store.

Healthy Choice Hot Dogs vs Oscar Meyer Low Fat Hot Dogs

And the winner is....Healthy Choice! These hotdogs are only 70 calories each, with just a few of grams of fat. The flavor is great and taste more like "real" hotdogs. If grilling though, you'll need to watch them more closely than regular dogs. There's something about the "skin" that cooks different than most hotdogs. Oscar Meyer hotdogs are okay, but I've never been of fan of the regular ones- I prefer Mackenzie or Nathan's (the god of all hotdogs). If you like the Oscar Meyer brand, you'll probably like their low fat ones. I find they're best mixed with baked beans, while the Healthy Choice dogs can be eaten either way- but for best calorie bang for the buck, they're better off mixed with baked beans as well. The protein will be far more satifying than having a bun- which is usually around 100-120 calories and nothing that'll "stick to your ribs."

Luigi's Sugar Free Italian Ice

While not calorie free, Luigi's Italian Ice is the perfect low-cal summer treat. You can only get a mixed box of Lemon and Cherry (though perhaps this is all that's available to me locally) but it doesn't matter. The lemon, because of the tartness, tastes nearly as good as a full out sugar ice, and I didn't miss the sugar in the Cherry flavored either (I had actually never tried the Cherry before, and was pleased to discover that I really liked it). These palette pleasing deserts come in at just 60 calories and are fat free.
