I've been recently eating sunflower seeds and I'm pretty happy with the calories, flavors, and cost.
Great mixed into salads.
Ooh, good reminder. I liked them a while ago and just haven't thought of them lately. I'll have to look for them next time I'm out
My protip for sunflower seeds with the shell: get a jar/bottle with a smallish opening. Transfer the sunflower seeds to the jar/bottle. Then you can easily pour one at a time directly into your mouth. I have a cup for putting the shells in. It's a great passive snack while working and I don't need to get any of the dust on my hands from the shells (e.g. salt or flavor powder).
Shops here used to (probably still do...) sell them seasoned with various flavourings, but the chilli ones were fantastic if you like that sort of thing. The extra flavour makes them feel more substantial, and it'd be easy to do yourself.
Costco sells bags of roasted pumpkin seeds that scratch a similar itch for me. Not quite as cheap as sunflower seeds, but about 10 bucks for a 2lb bag that lasts quite awhile.
Pumpkin seeds are great, too, but to get the good ones that are still in the shell and also not completely coated in salt can be a little challenging and expensive. I get them from Amazon from time to time when I feel like splurging outside of pumpkin season.
