200 calories or less: snack ideas

First I would like to share some tips on healthy snacking:

• Serving size is important – calories can add up easily

• Try to include protein – dairy, nuts, beans, etc

• Cook and freeze a big batch of beans so they are readily available
• If you are still hungry after the snack – munch on raw veggies
• Eat a healthy snack between your lunch and dinner, so you don’t over eat at dinner time
