Healthy Snacks Under 200 Calories
Sometimes snack cravings leave you wanting something a little more substantial. If you find yourself in this situation, consider toasting half of a whole wheat english muffin and adding whipped cream cheese. The cream cheese is indulgent, but you can save calories by opting for the whipped or low-fat version. You’ll also get the benefits of dairy which, aside from being full of calcium and numerous vitamins, can keep you from hitting the fridge again later in the day. By choosing a whole wheat english muffin, you’ll be reaping the benefits of whole grains which include reduced cholesterol levels and a reduced risk of heart disease.
