200 Calorie Snacks with Wholesome Variety

Friday, February 17, 2012

My biggest weakness are snacks. I tend to way over do unless I pre-plan them. I found this article about getting the most out of your snacks on health.com.

All these snacks are 200 calories or less. I like the creative nature of figuring out how you can design delicious and filling snacks for no more than 200 calories. I am going to take the challenge!

"Give yourself what you’re in the mood for. Just keep this in mind: Protein, fiber, and fat help you feel full, so eat snacks with at least one of these."
