100 Calorie Snack Packs - You Would be Surprised!

You know these 100 calorie snack packs all the companies have out now. Oreos, Doritos, Reeses, etc. There are over 100 of these products on the shelves now! Here is some information you may not know about these little packages that are supposed to help you curb your snack attack if you're on a diet:

1. The taste of most of these snacks is NOT the same as the original product. For example, Oreo snack packs are just a wafer, and don't even have the cream center!

2. Most packages contain even less food inside than you think they do. The Reeses peanut butter wafers contain two 3 1/2 inch long bars. Not much of a snack.

3. Here's the real shocker: These snack packs cost on average 16 to 279% MORE per ounce than the regular versions.

You may want to re-think your snack - you will get much more full by simply eating an apple or banana. And it's healthier, too.
