How many times have you brought a bag of snack lets say pretzels, looked at the back in the store it says 150 calories PER SERVING. You buy the bag thinking “150 that’s not bad”. You get home you open the bag; you’re in the kitchen, by the computer, in front of the TV all while munching on the bag of pretzels. Next thing you know the bag is empty and when you look at the number of servings in a bag it contained 5. WOW that means you just ate 750 calories. So what do you do, you say “I’m never buying those pretzels again” and you live with out another one of your favorite foods until you slip up again.
Well that’s not the Greedy Girl way. Here are a few tips enjoying your snack without falling into the trap of eating the whole bag. Like the title says “Snacks are your friend, it’s the bag that’s the DEVIL”
Tip#1- This is the obvious one buy prepackaged snack packs. 100 calorie packs are everywhere these days so pick up a few in your favorite snack Chessman Cookies, Lorna Doones, Chips Ahoy you name it. CONS: Snacks are a little more expensive than buying the super family value pack and your favorite snack doesn’t always have snack pack size. For another caution look out for my upcoming post: “It’s not 100 calories if you eat 5 packs”
Tip#2- Prepackage your own serving sizes. When you come home from the store grab a few sandwich bags and divide your big bag into smaller portions. This way when you are ready for the snack you can grab the smaller bag and munch away. CONS: This takes a little time, and no you can not snack as you pack
.
Tip#3- Similar to Tip 2 but less prep and more will power. Instead of eating straight from the bag take out the serving size amount and put the rest away.
