100 calorie packs

[peacherina]

Has anyone tried these? a friend of mine gave me some the other day. They are made by Nabisco and each pack has one hundred calories. I think it is a nice treat and you dont have to worry about the calories. I had the kind with pretzels, cheeze crackers and chex mix in it.

These are great for lunches - portion control and it's usually just the right amount to go with my sandwich.

However, they are expensive, so really if I wasn't so lazy I would take regular chex mix or whatever and measure 100 calorie portions into a bag.

Oh Ok, I didnt know they were expensive. that makes alot of sense what you're saying about just putting them in bags.

It's unfortunate that all those cute little packs for lunches and calorie watchers are so expensive. A friend of mine buys everything in bulk and portions it all out - puts her kids to work that way - measuring and sealing bags and placing in plastic containers in her pantry. Then it's just grab and go. And by doing it that way she is losing weight with everything already measured out! So not only is she saving money, but she is losing weight by watching her portions without even trying!

They do it with everything - cookies, crackers, cereals, snacks - everything is measured out by portion size.

The 100 Calorie packs are really good for snacks for the kids as well as for us grown ups. They are expensive unless you have a coupon. I know that at times Walmart has them for about 2.00 box.

We got some of the 100 calorie Jello cups for my husband for lunch & he said they tasted just like the regular stuff. He really liked them, but like everyone says they were kind of expensive, even at Sam's Club, which is where we got them. They were a nice break from his usual yogurts for dessert.

This just gives me the idea. Maybe I'll try making my own 100 calorie packs. There are a lot of information out there that can help you approximate how much calorie you have for each ingredient in your food. I think this will be a difficult task, but rewarding.

It's a million dollar idea, for sure. Wish I had thought of it!

100 calorie packs? I haven't heard of that before, or maybe I wasn't just looking for it before rather. But that really sounds good. Having snacks that are actually already formed to fit your needs and from the looks of it there are many choices. And that's what would make it a lot more cooler!
