The better choice-
Appearances can be deceiving when it comes to snacking.That low fat cereal may be high in calories or packaged cookies may be loaded with sodium. Your best bet when purchasing a snack is to check the nutritional value on the package.

Check these out:
Pretzels-lower in fat than chips but many are loaded with salt and made with white flour.
Better choice- nuts, seeds and unbuttered popcorn or whole grain pretzels


Granola-can be loaded with calories. Some brands have over 400 calories and 12 grams of fat in one cup.
Better choice- whole grain cereals such as Cheerios which has 103 calories.


Muffins-are getting bigger and with a bigger muffin comes more calories.
Better choice- Vita Tops
