Keep In Mind
1. Snack on fruits & vegetables. Experts now recommend 8 to 10 servings - that is 4 to 5 cups - of ruits and veggies a day. It is not easy to hit that target if your snacks are cookies and candy.
2. Make your own snack packs. If you want portion control, fill some small (reusable) plastic containers with berries, grape tomatoes, pineapple or melon chunks, or any other fruit or veggies. An apple, a pear, an orange, or a banana is nature's own 100 calorie "snack pack".
3. Go for whole grains. For something more substantial than fruit or eggies, try a handful of nuts or some whole grain crackers. All 9 Triscuit varieties are 100 percent while grain, and all but the Cheddar are trans-free
4. Keep the dairy light. If you want small portions, grab a light yogurt or an individually wrapped light string cheese.
