Top Five 100 Calorie Snacks

[GuysGirl]

Spring is finally here (thank god!) and its time to start putting on those little dresses, skirts and bathing suits! This time of the year is also when we take those fitness New Year's resolutions that we placed on the back burner and start to refocus on ourselves and our fitness goals. To help us along the way, major snack companies in the past few years have released 100 Calorie Snacks that taste surprisingly good.

5. Right Bites Variety Pack
The variety pack is one of the best ways to go with the 100 calorie snacks. This package features chocolate chip cookies, short bread cookies and my personal favorite; rice crispy treats with chocolate drizzle. When I eat the rice crispy treat, I almost feel like I'm cheating at my diet but then I remind myself that I grabbed from my own personal snack cabinent.


(TIP if you have someone in your house that is NOT dieting, try to separate your food as much as possible. Its much harder to stay on track when your constantly reminded of what you cannot eat-its a proven fact that you eat more of what you see more)


4. Mini Fudge Shop Cookies
These cookies were my favorite snack as a kid and now that I'm older I don't have to feel guilty about eating 12 of these delicious cookies! The cookies still have their signature chocolate bottom coating and the chocolate drizzle on top.



3. Nabisco Variety Pack
Nabisco has several variety packs but the one that is my favorite features the thin crisp Oreo cookies, chocolate chip cookies (which I think taste better than the Kellogg 100 calorie choc chip cookies) and another favorite of mine which I frequently buy separate from the variety pack is the Lorna Doone Shortbread cookies. This is hands down the best variety pack I have seen and if your looking for multiple snacks, this is the one to buy.

2. Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn
I usually bought a huge bag of this popcorn at the gas station after a night out with the girls but when I saw that they made it into a 100 calorie size, it now is on my regular grocery shopping list. The popcorn tastes EXACTLY like the regular popcorn and compared to other 100 calorie snacks, the package it comes in is filled with more popcorn than air. A MUST try!



1. Cheetos Asteroids
No not the regular cheetos, but the asteroids are the BEST 100 calorie snack on the market. The package again has more asteroids than air and have that taste of "Am I cheating on my diet?". The little cheezy balls are so tasty, its very hard not to dump the whole bag in my mouth. If you do not try any of the other 100 calorie snacks on my list, you must try this one!

The 100 calorie packs do seem bigger than what is actually inside and are a bit more expensive (I don't like to throw away money either-hell I clip coupons every Sunday) but when your in need for something sweet but don't want to wreck your diet, these 100 calorie snacks are the best way to go.
