Snack finder
Five snack lists computed from the food database — under 100 kcal, high protein, low sugar, for kids and late night. Every list states its exact rule.
Under 100 kcal
Snack foods with 20-100 kcal per 100 g, lightest first — the floor keeps out foods that are mostly water.
High protein
Snack foods with at least 12 g protein per 100 g and no more than 300 kcal, most protein first.
Low sugar
Snack foods with 3 g of sugar or less per 100 g, lowest sugar first.
For kids
Snack foods for a school or nursery bag: no nuts in the name, no chocolate or caffeine, 20-300 kcal and up to 15 g sugar per 100 g.
Late night
Snack foods with little sugar, some protein, no caffeine and a modest calorie count — the list for the hour before bed.
How the lists are computed
The database has 5 237 foods. The snack pool keeps the ones a person would reach for between meals and filters out long laboratory variants — no commas in the name, at most three words, no cooking or preserving qualifiers — leaving 722 plainly-named foods. Each list page then applies one stated rule and sorts by the number that matters for that goal. Every value is per 100 g; the label wins for anything in a package.
These are per-100 g database averages for whole foods, not a diet plan and not medical advice. Nuts, dairy, eggs and gluten appear across the lists — check allergies before serving, and if you are managing a condition, speak to a clinician or a registered dietitian.
About the figures
Values are per 100 g from the TempoLife food database, which mixes published national food-composition tables and USDA FoodData Central (US Government works, public domain). The rule for each list is stated on the list page itself, and the suite re-checks every row against that rule.
