[frozen grapes]Flicker/kendiala * There are lots of snacks that are tasty but also aren't high in fat for you. * These snacks are low in fat but will fill you up. * Reach for these snacks the next time you are feeling the need for a snack break. Of course, a snack can help satisfy your hunger quick, but if you are tired of relying on the office vending machine for a sweet treat, you'd probably love to know that there are plenty of snacks available which are healthy, filling, and are low in fat. To bring these kinds of yummy snacks to your radar, we spoke to a handful of dietitians about all the fulfilling snacks that won't pack on excess fat. Below are some of the yummy and not to mention nutritious snack picks they recommend giving a shot. MUNCH ON SOME POPCORN. Sarah Schmalbruch/INSIDER "Three cups of air-popped popcorn is only 100 calories and contains about 2.5 grams of fat," said registered dietitians Lyssie Lakatos, RDN, CDN, CFT and Tammy Lakatos Shames, RDN, CDN, CFT of the Nutrition Twins. It's a good source of fiber to help keep you feeling full, and it contains magnesium for muscle and bone strength, potassium, and antioxidants, they explained. ADD GREEK YOGURT TO A LITE WHOLE GRAIN TOASTER WAFFLE. JFXie/Flickr "A lite whole grain toaster waffle topped with two tablespoons of nonfat Greek yogurt and some mandarin orange pieces is an easy way to get a fast and balanced snack," said registered dietitian Summer Yule, MS, RDN. The protein and fiber in this snack are filling without the fat, she added. EAT TWO CUPS OF DICED WATERMELON. Eric Thayer/Getty Images "Two cups of diced watermelon offer a large volume for under 100 calories and (almost) zero fat," Yule explained. Other melons such as cantaloupe and honeydew also offer a large volume and no or low fat for the calories, she said.
