Keep Snacking at Bay
I sit behind the computer all day, in order to keep myself from snacking without thought, I limit my snacks to 2. I pack them with my lunch and eat them at specific times in order to keep it under control and not consume too many empty calories. When the snacks are gone, they're gone!
MORE INFORMATION:
Good snacks = protein bars, fruit, turkey jerky, and nuts
No need to buy the expensive 100 cal snacks I make my own. I weigh/measure nuts, fruits, cheese, etc. in snack bags or containers. Then I put all the snack bags in either a bowl in the refrigerator or in the fruit bowl on the counter. Healthy snacks are ready for me to GRAB and Go
MORE INFORMATION:
My rule is one bag at a time and the snacks are healthy even if I keep coming back. When my grandchildren or friends come over there are healthy snacks ready.
