Bags of Air-Popped Popcorn
Air popping adds no fat, so this is perfect for a night in front of the TV, right? Sure, if you pop it yourself. But manufacturers add the fat after the popping is done; that's why the popcorn is butter- or cheese-flavored. Air-pop your own instead, or buy the light microwave kind.
Trail Mix
It's the perfect midafternoon snack, full of fruits and nuts, fiber, heart-healthy fat, and trace minerals. Why not down a whole bag? Because each 6-oz pack contains at least 800 calories. You could have dinner for that! Make sure you're only eating one serving (about 3 tablespoons) each time you snack.
Fat-Free Ice Cream Topping
Much like sugar-free cookies and candies, fat-free ice cream toppings are still full of calories, usually as many as their full-fat counterparts. And calories count no matter where they come from. Use a carefully measured portion of whichever topping you prefer, or look for the light varieties, which really do have fewer calories.b
Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
The fat that's removed is replaced by carbohydrate filler, so there's no reduction in calories. And the fat in peanut butter is the healthy monounsaturated kind. So scoop out your 2 tablespoons (about the size of a golf ball), and stick with the full-fat varieties.
