Snack tip: Keep it under 100.

A healthy idea to think about:

 

Lingering guilt, like candy-bar wrappers, should be thrown away because there’s nothing wrong with snacking between meals. The size of the snack however, should be modest — less than 100 calories. Reach for crackers and cookies in 100-calorie packs or grab a handful of pretzels or an even smaller handful of nuts.

Portion sizes are important.  Don't feel guilty if you have a small treat.

I don't do so good with those 100 calorie pack snacks as I just go back for a 2nd and a 3rd. I like to have a piece of fruit or a fat free yogurt for a snack as I seem to be more satisfied and not tempted to continue snacking.

Eating small meals through out the day helps me a lot. I eat fruit, yogurt, almonds or a nutrition bar (try half first) to keep my blood sugar at an even level between the meals. Since I started doing this I feel good every day!
