August 3, 2007, Newsletter Issue #62: Low-Calorie Snacks Can Fit A Low Budget

Tip of the Week

Energy bars and gels can be good low-calorie snacks for women on the go, but they can be expensive, and many of them aren’t really low in calories. A standard energy bar can be anywhere from 150 to nearly 300 calories.

Other options for low-calorie snacks include the prepackaged 100-calorie packs of many popular snack foods, such as Chips Ahoy cookies. But you can make your own low-calorie snack packs by dividing a bag of healthy chips, nuts, trail mix or air-popped popcorn into small Ziploc bags to take to work or to the gym.

Want a low-calorie chocolate fix? Most lowfat or no sugar added hot cocoa packets weigh in at about 60 calories per packet, and some brands have added calcium, too.
