Many have returned to Utah and many have . can have your cake & eat it too You The bottom of a brown lunch bag is always friendlier when there is a snack waiting there. Here are some tips to help you snack without guilt. Stock your pantry and refrigerator with plain popcorn, whole grain crackers, unsweetened fruit juices, fresh fruits and vegetables, plain lowfat yogurt and cheeses especially cheese lower in fat and sodium. Carry a naturally sweet fresh fruit, such as grapes or a pear, for a work break rather than buying candy from a vending machine. Limit the amount eaten so your snack doesnt replace a meal If it is taking the place of a meal, choose meal-typ- e foods a small entree, a sandwich or a hearty salad. Choose snacks that provide dietary fiber as well as other nutrients. Fresh fruits with edible seeds (berries), or skins (apples, peaches), dried fruits, raw vegetables, and whole-grai- n breads or crackers are some good sources of dietary fiber. If you choose a sticky food (dried fruit) for your snack, plan to brush your teeth soon after eating to help prevent tooth decay. Following a good diet doesnt mean you have to give up favorite desserts like ice cream and cake. The key is to have them in moderate amounts, balance them with foods that are lower in fat, sugars and calories, and cut back on fat and sugars from other foods. If you are selective in your ingredients, its possible to have your cake and eat it too. Following is a low-fchocolate cake recipe.
