Outsmart Late-Night Cravings

If you must eat an evening snack, go for a more healthful version with 150-200 calories. A lower-fat, lower-sugar snack satisfies your need to munch, but with fewer artery-clogging ingredients than your typical snack food. Check out these suggestions:

Instead of:
high-fat ice cream, choose 1/2 cup low-fat frozen yogurt

potato chips, choose 1 ounce baked potato chips or sweet potato chips

buttered popcorn, choose 100-calorie bag of light popcorn

regular soda, choose 6 to 8 ounces iced green tea mixed with a splash of 100 percent fruit juice

sugary cereal and milk, choose 1/2 cup oatmeal with fat-free milk

peanut butter crackers, choose 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter on half of a low-calorie whole wheat English muffin

cheese and chips, choose 2 to 3 tablespoons fat-free bean dip with 1 ounce baked chips

cheese and crackers, choose 1 ounce of low-fat cheese with apple slices
