Foods What are some Very VERY VERY Low Calorie Snacks??? Feb 18 2007

Well, first of all, it's so crazy that someone mentioned baby food. i usually just spend a lot of time browsing through the food aisles at wal-mart, checking out the food labels (calories) on literally everything, and just last night i walked past the baby food. it's VERY inexpensive (like 46-50 cents a jar) and really low in calories too. personally, i like the gooey jar kind (like chicken & rice dinner) but the little snacks are good too! try some!

and another thing, my boyfriend LOVES rice krispy treats, especially PB ones. and so i made some. as i was makin them, they smelled soooo good and i knew i was gonna have to have one. so i thought about it, and they aren't that bad at all!

1 stick butter (try low fat or fat free? butter)

1 C marshmallow puff

1 C PB

6 C rice krispies

And all you do is melt the butter in the microwave and mix in the marshmallow and PB until it's smooth and creamy and then add the krispies. Mix it really well so that all the krispies are coated and be sure to get the mix that lays in the very bottom of the bowl or what pours out last will be gooey and fall apart when you cut them.

You'd be surprised at how much of a low-cal snack this is. marshmallows (the puff is 88 cents at wal-mart!) are low in calories and Pb is just flat out good for you. the butter's the thing to feel guilty about, but limit yourself to like one treat a day or something. and rice krispy cereal is fat-free!

One thing i just can't get enough of is pickles. but all that sodium! what is too much and what's the negative side of too much sodium when dieting?? anyone know?

that snack thingy: the turkey and lettuce roll-up is amazing! HUGE props to whoever thought of that one! and the same with the veggie soup. i'm DEF trying that one. i've really been wanting to have some pancakes. they're my fav food, and i know you can but whole wheat mix now, but i wouldn't like them without the sweetness of syrup. HELP!

replies would be awesome, i know it's been awhile since the last post :)
