A Snacking Law to
Live By
When you're reaching for a
mid-day snack, just remember the motto of Tanya Zuckerbrot,
MS, RD, author of the F Factor Diet:
"Fiber and protein at every meal make losing weight no big deal." Get
started with these easy protein and fiber combos:
Pistachios
and raisins: These nuts
rank among the highest in fiber content, and you get 49 nuts per one ounce
serving. Combine them with a mini box of raisins (.5 oz.) for a 204 calorie
treat with 3.4 g fiber and 6.5 g protein.
Cottage
cheese and Fiber One Cereal: This snack satisfies the need to something crunchy and creamy. Even
better a one half cup serving of cereal combined with one half cup of low-fat
cottage cheese adds up to just 141 calories with 14 g fiber and 16 g protein.
