Weekends are hard on a diet. We're home. We're hanging out. We're playing with the kids. The following snack options are usually good for most diets and provide you with energy while also satisfying your cravings.

Snack Options:

• Pretzels with a little honey mustard dip
• Natural or Plain microwave popcorn
• Baked Tortilla Chips
• Apple or Orange Slices
• Strawberries
• Raw veggies (like carrots) with light or fat free ranch dip
• Light Yogurt
• Low Fat Chocolate Milk
• Cottage Cheese with Pineapple
• Low Fat Yogurt Smoothie (You can make it with some yogurt, low fat or skim milk, fresh fruit and ice in a blender - it's DELICIOUS!)

When checking out your snack options, thinking ahead means you don't have to worry about getting too hungry or indulging in a binging urge!
