Although it may be easiest to buy a bag of potato chips or cookies from the vending machine, you may want to watch what you're taking when you dig into those snacks. You can enjoy your favorite snacks as long as you limit your portion to about 1 ounce. Linda Gassenheimer, author of The Portion Plan, says that an ideal meal plan is to have three balanced meals and two snacks a day -- a mid-morning snack and a mid-afternoon snack. Good snack ideas include 1 ounce of almonds, pecans or walnuts, a 1/2 cup of nonfat yogurt or a portion of raw vegetables, such as celery, carrots, broccoli or cauliflower. But if you are still craving those unhealthy snacks, try the 100 calorie bags of Cheese Nips or Chips Ahoy! cookies. Although they aren't the healthiest snacks for you, the perfect-portioned bags should suffice your cravings -- make sure you only pack one bag though!
