It is SO easy to overeat snacks, especially those crunchy, salty ones that come in HUGE bags….you may not being attention, and before you know it half the bag is gone!
There are a few ways to make sure this doesn’t happen. If you are eating your snack at home, you can portion out the serving and put it into a small bowl. Then put the bag away and out of sight!
If you are taking your snack to school with you, a great way is to portion out the serving in a little baggie – they even have the snack size baggies that are a perfect size for pretzels, chex mix, etc!
**Don’t forget to save the baggie! They can be used over and over again – no need to throw them out after one use. Save the planet and some money!
