A Ferrero Rocher tops the list because it is one small chocolate, not because it is light. Portion is doing a lot of the work here.

Beef jerky and popcorn are the ones that actually fill you up for what they cost. Crisps, Pringles and Doritos are fine in a small bag, it is the sharing bag that adds up.

Nuts are further down, but they come with protein and keep you going. A handful is a snack, the whole bag is a meal.

Questions

What is the lowest calorie snack?

A single Ferrero Rocher or a few marshmallows, then beef jerky, a small bag of crisps or a bit of Milka.

Is popcorn a low calorie snack?

Plain popcorn is light for how much you get. Butter and toffee coatings push it up fast.

Are nuts too high in calories?

They are dense, but a small handful is fine and gives you protein and fat that keep you full.
