Last month, I started a new series called Lucky Seven, where I list 7 items or examples in a changing theme. This installment is about food – snacks in particular! 😉

With the holidays approaching, it’s a pretty sure bet we’ll be tempted to at least taste the smorgasbord of delicacies that magically appear at this time of year!

Oh-oh… there goes that belt notch.

Maybe the best plan would be to concentrate on eating sensibly in the weeks leading up to the festivities, and then there would be a little more freedom to relax and enjoy those holiday treats.

They say it’s not so much the meals we eat that do us in – it’s the snacks! The conventional wisdom is to gnaw on celery and carrots between meals in order to avoid overeating.

Now I love veggies as much as the next guy, but if I get an attack of the munchies, somehow crunching on a carrot stick is not going to cut the mustard – at least not on a regular basis. Ya gotta have fun, sometimes! 😉 So, I searched and came up with seven snacks that are satisfying, but only about 100 calories each!

7 Low Calorie Snacks

1 slice Pepperidge Farm Raisin Cinnamon Swirl Bread with 1 tsp. light butter

12 Quaker “Quakes” Cheddar Cheese Rice Snacks

28 grapes

20 roasted peanuts

1 Yoplait Light Smoothie

1/2 small apple with 2 teaspoons peanut butter

60 Pepperidge Farm Baby Goldfish Crackers

I’ll bet you know of some other tasty but low cal snacks!

Tell us one . . . . . please? 😉
