Have a (Nutritious) Snack

Forget the 100-calorie snack packs — they’re little more than slick marketing.  Most of them are still the same unhealthy, processed foods loaded with artificial ingredients.  You’re better off skipping the pre-packaged foods in favor of real food.  Aim for snacks that provide a balance of clean carbs, lean protein, and healthy fats.  This list is by no means all-inclusive, but try these healthy, low-calorie snacks:

• Apple, banana, carrots, or celery with peanut butter (heck… anything with peanut butter!)
• Carrot sticks with cottage cheese
• Banana with semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Air-p0pped popcorn, sprinkled with parmesan cheese and cayenne pepper
• Cottage cheese with salsa and corn chips
• Baked sweet potato with greek yogurt and salsa
• A skinny latte with 8 oz. fat-free steamed milk, with a shot of espresso and a sprinkle of cinnamon
• Red bell pepper with hummus
• Greek yogurt with blueberries and almonds
• Low-fat string cheese and whole grain crackers
• Hard-boiled egg with guacamole
