Grocery store shelves are brimming with 100-calorie versions of crackers, cookies, and chips. Shoppers are gobbling up this latest snack trend, knowing one of the biggest battles in maintaining a healthy weight is watching portion size—and most people can get away with 100 calories of nearly any snack without sabotaging their diets.
To avoid adding 100 empty calories, check the nutritional value as well as the flavor. Look for snacks that provide some health benefit, such as fiber or antioxidants. While prepackaged 100-calorie snacks are convenient, you can make your own grab-and-go snack packs with just a little planning.
