Americans love to snack. In fact, Americans' number one source of calories is grain-based desserts. This includes cookies, cake, pie, donuts, pastries and sweet rolls, etc. Let me put this into perspective. It's recommended that women consume less than 40 grams of sugar each day. One slice of Starbucks' banana nut loaf has 46g of sugar. These types of snacks can be deceiving. If they have a few healthy ingredients then they must be healthy, right? Wrong. The banana bread also has almost 500 calories and 20 grams of fat! You would be better off choosing their chocolate chunk cookie for breakfast. It has less calories, fat and sugar. The best way to avoid that nagging snack craving is to plan ahead. Always have healthy snacks with you – in your purse, your pantry and at your office. Here are some great ideas from Real Simple.
