Food for the Calorie Conscience
   

 Cookies

Oreos® and milk are as American as apple pie. Everyone has their own method of eating them. Whether you open the cookie up and lick the creamy filling first, or chomp down on the whole cookie, Nabisco’s® Oreos® are a classic choice from childhood that still satisfies a cookie craving. However, one serving of Oreos® (three cookies) contains 160 calories and 7 grams of fat including 1.5 grams of saturated fat.

For a healthier alternative try Nabisco’s™ 100 calories Oreo® Thin Crisps™. One serving only has 100 calories and 2 grams of fat including zero grams of saturated fat. So grab a pack and a cold glass of skim milk to get your Oreo® fix. Nabisco introduced 100 calorie versions of many other munchies including Wheat Thins®, Ritz® Crackers and Chips Ahoy®. Also in serving size packages, Nabisco’s 100 calories Packs are a delicious way to solve your snack craving.

Chocolate

Chocolate is a necessity in life. It is a great pick-me-up during a hard day and pleases most palates. One serving of a creamy, smooth, milk chocolate HERSHEY’S bar is packed with 230 calories and 13 grams of fat including 9 grams of saturated fat.

HERSHEY’S recently introduced Snacksters™ 100 calorie snack packs in two flavors. Reese’s Snacksters™ combines cereal puffs, peanut butter squares, cereal squares and Reeses Pieces. One serving has 100 calories and 4 grams of fat including 2.5 grams of saturated fat. The other variety, HERSHEY’S Snacksters™ combine cereal puffs, chocolate chip cookies, semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. A single serving contains 100 calories and 3.5 grams of fat including 2 grams of saturated fat. The snacks, which come in serving size packages, are a sweet alternative for the calorie conscious.

   

Chips

They are salty and crunchy and just plain tasty. Potato chips can satisfy any snack craving. But many brands of potato chips are loaded with calories and fat. One serving of Lay’s® Classic Potato chips contains 150 calories and 10 grams of fat, including 3 grams of saturated fat.

For a healthier alternative pick up a bag of Lays® Light Potato Chips. With only 75 calories and zero grams of fat, these chips can appease any craving for a salty snack without the extra calories and fat. Check out the other varieties of light chips including Doritos Light Nacho Cheese® flavored chips.
