Friday

Food Find #2

It's Friday people. Aren't you happy? I know I am. I have another food find for you. It's not new or something you haven't heard of before, but it might surprise you. It's Honey Nut Cheerios. Here's the nutritional breakdown per serving from the website:

110 calories--150 with 1/2 cup skim milk
1.5 grams of fat
0 cholesterol
190 mg sodium
22 carbs
2g dietery fiber
3 grams of protein


I realize 3/4 of a cup isn't a lot of food, but if you combine that with a piece of fruit in the morning you've got a decent enough breakfast.

Cheerios aren't just for babies anymore. (I hear this protest from my kid all the time) I like to portion out the Cheerios into snack sized ziplock bags and carry that for an easy, low cal snack. You know how you get the munchies sometimes and you want something easy? Cheerios are much better for you than a bag of regular M&Ms at 240 calories with 90 grams of fat. (2g of protein for all you WW peeps). It may not be sweet, chocolaty goodness but it is a healthier snack option. If you plan ahead you can snack without guilt. And who doesn't like that?

The last time I had Cheerios was when my friend's 2 yo kid was sharing her snack w/ me. It was the yogurt one and I realized how much I miss eating them.

Thanks for the snack tip. Putting it on my shopping list.
