And the Pop Quiz Answer is ...

c. Less than 150 calories.

Examples could be: a large apple OR 2 saltine crackers and 1 oz. of cheese OR a granola bar OR 1 cup of juice OR 16 cashew nuts OR 21 pretzels OR 3 cups of unbuttered popcorn. You don’t get a lot of food for 150 calories. On the other hand, passing up your daily 150 calorie snack can result in the loss of 15 pounds in a year.

Take Action!

Pay attention to food labels, noting the serving size. You may think a serving is one cup when the calories are calculated for only a half cup. Be a smart label reader to understand what you're eating. Reading labels may make it easier to pass up foods that are high in calories yet low in nutrients.
