100 Cal packs

Hey everyone just thought I would throw this out there if anyone has not tried those 100 calorie packs. They come in cookies, snacks. They are really good. Need to throw one in the car. As I was doing alot of running today it is tempting to stop an buy something. Fast food, candy bar etc. But I didn't. However, getting so hungry isn't good, just makes me want to over eat later. So will pack a bottle water and a 100 cal pack for a pick me up on the go. Hope everyone had a healthy day.

The new Hershey ones are THE BEST! All the pleasure of a candy bar with only 100 cals. Sometimes I prepackage my own crackers etc. in the little snack bags. If you're like me and prone to eat the whole thing, having a smaller package is a big plus!

I just wanted to add, and I debated whether or not to say anything, but I used to eat them, I loved them. I then started reading the ingredients. They have a lot of chemicals in them and hydroginated oils (which are trans fats and make you gain weight). Not all of the 100 claorie packs have trans frats but a lot of them do. Just read the ingredients not just the nutrition facts.

I don't understand how the FDA allows companies to say that they have 0 grams of Trans Fats and when they do have Trans Fats in them. On some pacckages they have little * that say *adds a trivial amount of tand fats, and it's so small you can barely see it.

I'm not trying to tell anyone to eat them or not to eat them, it just bothers me that somehow it's OK to say that there are no Trans Fats in things when there really are, and most people don't realize and don't read the ingredients. I didn't until my sister told me about it, now I do and I'm amazed at the crap and chemicals they put in food.

Just a little food for thought...

I agree on the crap in things an unless you read the labels you can be fooled into thinking it is good for you. Just for myself if I go on one of those diets that you can not have this an can not have that I am setting myself up to fail. I think making some good choices an eating more salads an fruit an just eat things in moderation I will win this fight. So I wouldn't eat 4 bags of those things but one when you really want that sweet thing I think is okay. And to keep one in the car so you don't stop for that golden arches. There are other things we can keep in the car that are better I agree. Box of raisins, hand full of nuts, dried fruit all in small snack bags. In this world of on the run an no time we need to have those things handy, at least I do. Love your input, thanks! ;-)

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
