Snacking is awesome. We all know that. To keep portions in control, dieters often buy 100-calorie snack packs of food. Those are a great dieting tool, but they're usually full of weird flavor enhancers because they're lowfat, and the price per serving on those tiny packets is usually grossly inflated, so you get way less product for way more money. You can make your own 100-calorie snack packs at home to get the kind of snacks you want, when you want them. Bonus: When you make them from larger packages, you pay much less per snack pack than you would if you bought them pre-made. Some 100 calorie suggestions to put in snack-sized baggies: 10 almonds, 6 reduced fat Triscuit crackers, a medium apple with reduced fat string cheese stick, 10 Junior Mints, 15 pieces of candy corn, 2 strands of red licorice, 2 tablespoons hummus with 4 cherry tomatoes.
