What many people consider a "snack"an energy bar, part of a bag of chips, or side order at a fast-food restaurantcan actually have 400 or more calories, making it more like a meal. A true snack, says Melanie Douglass, a registered dietitian and personal trainer based in Salt Lake City, is about 150 to 200 calories. Here are some of her healthful snack suggestions.USN.load('Loomia');
1. A cup of high fiber cereal (like Kashi Heart to Heart) and a small handful of pumpkin seeds.
2. One ounce of nuts, which is about 24 almonds or 15 walnuts. Nuts are nutrient packed but calorie dense, so limit consumption to one or two handfuls a day.
3. One cup of bran flakes with half a cup of chocolate milk.
4. One handful of red grapes. Freeze them for five minutes to make them sweet and crisp.
5. Skinny Cow brand ice cream treat.
6. Whole wheat toastbe sure it's 100 percent whole wheat with a bit of peanut butter.
7. One stick of string cheese with a piece of fruit.
8. One whole wheat tortilla with a few spoonfuls of canned black beans.
9. One serving of Greek yogurt with a handful berries.
10. Any fruit or vegetable. For more protein, also eat a serving of nuts, sliced turkey, or a low fat yogurt with less than 20 grams of sugar per 8 ounce serving
