The funny thing about marketing (my major in college), is that it convinces you to buy something that you didn’t even know you were missing. Many people fall into the trap of eating more than one bag of these 100 calorie snacks (which pretty much defeats the purpose, but is easy to do). If you don’t have nuts, dried fruit, whole fruit or a bag of veggies available, then at least having a snack that contains the lower amount of calories is good (I know it goes against clean eating beliefs, but I also understand that a change in eating behaviors is a process and baby steps are a good way to begin change!).
Shape Magazine rated a list of products based on 200 calories or less, have 0 grams of trans fat and no more than 3.5 grams of saturated fat. It could have no more than 400 milligrams of sodium, and no high-fructose corn syrup.
Not in any particular order or rating, here were some of the products they listed as excellent:
-Nesquik chocolate milk (100 cal., 2g fat)
-Jello snacks (jello cups) - 10 cal.
