Diet Snacks With Less Than 175 Calories

America Takes It Off has all sorts of quick tips for those of you wishing to shrink a size, and for those who just want to do better in the nutrition department too. Check out this nugget of good news: ATIO knows of 10 healthy snacks with less than 175 calories. Here are some.

• Banana
• Sweet potato
• Low-fat string cheese, two ounces
• Animal crackers (not the frosted, sprinkled kind)
• Whole wheat pretzels -- one and one-half ounce
• Half of a whole wheat bagel with jam or low-fat cream cheese
• Handful of baby carrots -- dip in one-fourth cup salsa mixed with one-forth cup low-fat sour cream

Try making these your go-to snacks for a week and see what happens to your size. Does it shrink? If so, come tell us about it on a Wednesday this month. That's when we feature our weekly ATIO weigh-in. We're shooting for a combined weight loss of 250 pounds by the end of January, and you can help us reach our goal. In the meantime, though, head over to ATIO headquarters and read some more about low-cal snacks. Check out our featured gallery too.
