100 calories





As we all know, summer is upon us. For women everywhere this is bathing suit time. Unfortunately, I have to say I am also trying to watch what I eat. It's not that I don't like eating healthy, it is that I don't like giving up my sweets. Obviously, I love candy, chocolate, cookies, cake and sugary cereal. However, I have found a great alternative to trading in all my sweets for salads. I found a way to snack all day while being conscious of what I am eating. The 100 calorie packs are probably one of the best ideas. In a time with fatty foods and over sized portions, someone has made a killing with a simple idea. There are many different companies that are know offering different 100 calorie options. I have found that you can have a 100 calorie pack of cookies, cupcakes, crackers and chips. This is a way to stop over eating. This is what has helped me. Most times I would mindlessly eat and not think about the portion. With this alternative it causes people to stop. However, since they are pre-portioned it has a lot of wasteful packaging. Many different companies are now becoming interested in making 100 calorie packs. Companies like Hostess, Nabisco and Quaker. I also suggest the 90 calories strawberry Special K bars. This simple idea are causing many people to shed pounds. Although, I guess it would just be simpler to portion your food on your own. These tasty little treats are worth trying. The cheapest place that I have found them were at Target. They were about two dollars for a box.
