Snack Attack: Look, Ma! I got Chex Mix because it’s healthier than potato chips! You’re getting healthy doses of protein and calcium, with fewer calories - 140 for the entire container - and a pineapple taste. So, what could you have instead? Chobani 2% fat Greek yogurt with pineapple. Dried fruit of any kind can be easy to overeat. How’s that for perspective?ĭried fruit is great because of its fiber content, but it has more calories than fresh fruit and the serving sizes are pretty small. In runner talk, that is nearly the equivalent of running the Broad Street Run. I am sure they are, but did you know the entire container at Wawa holds six servings? Each serving has 140 calories, which gives you a total of 840 calories if you eat the entire package (which you know you do). Snack Attack: Mmmm, dried pineapple chunks are my jam.
So before you hit the shiny new Center City Wawa store on your lunch break, read on to find out whether your go-to snacks are worth it - or not. Diet is about balance, after all.īut my goal with this post is to save you from sneaky calories hiding in places you wouldn’t expect, and to show you that small tweaks to your snacking regimen can add up to big savings in the calorie department. In my opinion, you should be allowed to enjoy what you eat, whether your indulgence is a few spoonfuls of peanut butter or a basket of crab fries. The other 20 percent, look, I don’t even want to know. Keep in mind, though, that I’m a big proponent of the 80/20 rule: 80 percent of the time, behave. My hope is to point you in the direction of grab-and-go snacks that might be better alternatives when you’re craving something salty or sweet. So I decided to hit up a Wawa and play the game myself, all for your benefit, dear reader. Wawa is one of our favorite places to play this game there are just so many snacks to choose from.
(And yes, I’m certain we sound really annoying to the person standing there in line with an 800 calorie snack that we just completely ruined for them. It’s called: “How Many Calories Are in This?” It’s exactly what it sounds like: We’ll stand there guessing the calorie counts of some of the most popular snack foods, and often find ourselves shocked at how many calories some items contain. My foodie friends and I like to play a game whenever we go to a convenience store.
