Snacks 101 - Part 2

Before I get into my ideas for snacks with pita, I thought I would get a few snacks together for our last meeting and organize them by weight, points and calories.

We meet once a week...kind of like a Stitch 'n Bitch...without the stitch. We discuss our week, our challenges, progress toward our goals, and anything else that comes up to fill a couple hours.

It was my turn to bring the snacks. I bought a few things and put serving sizes in plastic snack bags to give an idea of what you get for the points or calories.

It was a bit of an eye opener for sure. I guess until you see only nine pieces of something that makes a serving size you don't really think about it. Makes me want to really get the most healthy and filling snack for my points...that's for sure.

Below is a list of some of the snacks I brought to the meeting...and a few extra just to make it interesting. I must add a disclaimer...just in case my math is off!
