Throw in a few raisins and some dried prunes, and you get a lot of vitamins in a low-fat snack.

#2 - Low-fat Shakes/Diet Shakes - Diet shakes and low-fat smoothies that are packed with vitamins and protein are a good low-fat choice for feeling full and using as a meal replacement when you are too on the go to stop to eat healthy but still want to get some nutrition in your diet. These should only be used occasionally, though, because it's better to get your nutrition from food when you can.
