Do You Snack??

If you are, are they healthy snacks? Healthy snacking is okay as long as you keep them to a couple of hundred calories each or fewer. Have a few slices of a lean meat and a piece of cheese or have some fresh fruit or veggies. If you are counting calories be sure to add those into you count. If you snack right you will find that you will eat less at meal times. Have snacks that are high in fiber, fiber makes you feel full.

My fav... blueberries, strawberries, watermelon and cantaloupe cut up and mixed together with a little lowfat vanilla yogurt on the side...yummyyy!!
