Healthy Snacks Under 200 Calories
If you’re craving something crunchy, avoid salt-heavy potato chips or pretzels that can leave you feeling bloated. By opting for baby carrots or carrot sticks instead, you’ll get the same crunch for almost a quarter of the calories! Vegetables can also help lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and prevent some types of cancer. Carrots alone have been proven to improve eyesight, boost oral health and provide numerous other health benefits. Adding a low-fat dip can make your snack even tastier, all while staying under 200 calories. Doctors recommend getting at least four servings of vegetables per day.
