Snack Smarter

Have you ever opened a bag of chips and plopped on the couch to watch a movie and started crunching.
After watching the entire movie you realize you have eaten almost the entire bag of chips. It has happened to quite a few of us. Well after you have eaten the bag of chips you are filled with guilt. You had no intentions on eating the bag of chips, it just happened.


I have been victim of the almost empty bag of chips. After going through the stages of weight gain grief I decided to make a conscious effort to snack better. You also can make better choices on when, where and how much you snack.

Here are a couple of tips when choosing snacks:

  • Divide snacks up into serving sizes
  • Be conscious of when you are eating
  • Do not try to eat while you are doing other things
  • Choose more fresh snacks
  • Carry a snack with you at all times

              


Snack ChoiceHealthier Alternatives
ChipsHomemade trail mix-cashews, almonds & raisin
Cookies100 calorie packs
SodasWater or 100% fruit juice
Whole milk1% milk or Soy milk
CandyFruits and veggies

Be conscious of when you are eating and MINDFUL of WHAT you are eating.
