SNACKS FOR TV TIME

Diet & Weight Loss Questions & Answers

Q. Can you recommend a healthy snack for TV time? It's my worst time of day for diet temptation.~ Ellis, Kansas, USA

A. Ellis, popcorn seems to be the most popular snack for TV time because it takes a while to eat.  Look for the 'Smart Pop' Orville Redenbacker popcorn which is tasty, as well as low in fat and calories.  Be sure to add several good squirts of no calorie refrigerated butter spray to the bag after popping.

If you have a sweet tooth, add the butter spray, then a couple of packets of no calorie sweetener and a dash or two of cinnamon.

Some other healthy choices for TV snack time that go a long way are frozen grapes, thinly sliced frozen bananas (freeze them an hour before you settle in to watch TV), and pretzels.  Try the new ROLD GOLD honey wheat variety. They are the absolute best pretzel sticks I've had.~ Sky at Diet Bites
