Chew on this

Healthy snacks -- what exactly constitutes such a thing? More or less, a healthy snack is something that will tide you over until your next meal, keeping you properly satiated until then. It is also something that is relatively low in calories, but still has a good amount of nutritional value.

Rather than continuing to talk about what makes a snack healthy, I'm sure you'd prefer to instead learn about some actual healthy snacks!! Try these on for size (each contains 200 calories or less):

• Reduced-fat popcorn and 1/3 cup of dried fruit
• 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese and 2tbs of low-sugar jelly or jam
• Single servings of many different types of fruits
• 2 graham cracker squares with 2tsp of natural peanut butter and apple slices
• Cereal bar and 1 cup of light yogurt
• Mozzarella cheese stick, 5 baby carrots and 5 celery sticks with 1/4 cup of fat-free black bean dip
• 1/2 egg salad sandwich made with 2tsp of light mayo
