Snacks for Grown-Ups
Snacking should be as mandatory as breakfast, Make sure your three meals a day are moderate, not massive. Think under 350 calories for breakfast, and 350 to 500 calories each for lunch and dinner, have a small mid-morning snack, around 100 calories. Your afternoon snack can be a little bigger: 150 to 175 calories if you're trying to lose weight, and up to 250 if you're not and it's your only snack of the day.
A good low-calorie snack would be ice pops made with 1 cup each low-fat vanilla yogurt, berries, and fruit juice like pineapple or orange pureed in a blender and frozen and cherry tomatoes, halved, topped with 2 Tbsp of goat cheese, and sprinkled with fresh pepper or chives and ½ whole-wheat mini bagel, toasted, topped with a wedge of Laughing Cow Strawberries & Cream cheese spread and a sliced strawberry and finally toasted baguette slice topped with 1 Tbsp Ricotta, chopped fresh oregano and black pepper, and an anchovy filet, broiled until melty and drizzled with olive oil
