SNACK HAPPY!

100 Calorie Snacks: 20 Choices
Snacking throughout the day is important! Sure it's easy to get lost in your busy schedule and forget to eat, but doing so is a recipe for disaster! Why? Because your metabolism slows down to a snails pace, and then when you do finally eat something, you fall victim to binging; grabbing the nearest "whatever" to satisfy those hunger pains. So in between your meals, do some sensible snacking. And remember snacks should be between 100-150 calories. So snack on! :)

Need some ideas? To get you started on the road to calorie-controlled snacking, here are some suggestions for some healthy munchies:

1. Half an apple with 2 teaspoons of peanut butter
