10 Snacks Less Than 175 Calories
Provided by Prevention
1. Banana: Portable, peelable and around 100 calories. It's a good source of fiber, potassium and is rich in vitamin B6, which regulates blood glucose levels and keeps your moods at an even keel.
2. Lions and tigers and bears: Oh, my -- animal crackers weigh in at only 12 calories each.
3. Half of a whole grain bagel: spread with jam or low-fat cream cheese.
4. One almond, one date: Stuff the former into the latter for satisfying sweetness and nutty crunch.
5. Baby carrots: Eat a handful with a creamy dip (mix 1/4 cup salsa with 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream).
6. Whole wheat pretzels (1 1/2 oz.): A bona fide snack that's not junk food.
7. Sweet potato: If you think of it only as a side dish, you're missing out on a great snack. Baked and cooled, it's a delicious alternative to fruit.
8. A cup of instant bean soup: Fiber-packed and filling -- just add water!
9. Whole grain cereal: Low-fat, low-sugar choices such as Cheerios or Wheat Chex aren't just for breakfast. Slip a 1/2 cup into a plastic bag to eat when you're on the go.
10. Low-fat string cheese (2 oz.): The perking power of protein and the rich bite of cheese -- without all that nasty fat.
