Blue Diamond makes a 100-calorie-bag of natural almonds -- I believe they are unsalted (therefore low sodium) and they're delicious.Snackmasters Turkey Jerky also comes in an 80 calorie bag. It's all-natural & free of nitrates, preservatives, & MSG and 14g of protein (will a little bit of iron).
It's not an everyday food, but it's very convenient to carry around in a purse or gymbag. Also, South Beach Diet Woven Wheat crackers (only 3 ingredients... can't be that bad?) and they have a decent amount of fiber.

Thank you (whoever you may be) for sharing this with our readers.
The Blue Diamond 100-calorie packs you mention are a great suggestion, especially since it's easy to eat a lot of high-calorie nuts in one sitting.
The article you are commenting on focused on traditional sweet and savory snacks like cookies and chips, which are the most prevalent -- and heavily marketed -- portion-controlled products, which is why these more healthy 100-calorie treats were not mentioned.
The only one you mention I am not a fan of is the jerky.
The 80-calorie turkey one you mention, for instance, provides a whooping 580 milligrams (a quarter of a day's worth) of sodium, an excessive amount for an 80 calorie serving!
