I am being pretty good but when I do need a small snack, I am going too big. (This is the one instance where "go big or go home" does NOT apply.) This easily happens while I am in the States because my family keeps snacks on hand. (kids snack) I keep NO snack food for this exact reason.
The perfect snack should be approximately 100-200 calories and contain both a carb and a protein to be both nutritionally satisfying and keep you going for more than 1/2 hour.
12 almonds - 80 calories
1 small apple with 1 tsp peanut butter - 140 calories
1 greek yogurt - 120 calories
1 piece of cheese - 100 calories
It is all healthy but it adds up!
miss v, i am totally loving the apple with peanut butter combo. you should also try almond butter. it is yummmmmo!
