Re: Diet Matters
I had another "rude awakening" this morning. I was pouring out some Chex mix into a sandwich baggie to take along as a munchie on my car trip today. Then I decided to measure out how much I had. It was a full cup and a quarter. The "serving size" on the package said one serving was 1/2 cup, 120 calories. So my cup and a quarter was more like 270 calories, for a snack to keep me awake in homecoming traffic. AAAGGGHHH!!
A 1/2 cup serving of Chex mix is only a handful!! So technically, the full sandwich baggie I Used to eat, was about 5 or 6 times that. Now I realize that we all tend to eat larger meals and snacks than our parents did, but 1/2 cup was hard to accept. So I left it at 1 and a quarter cup. My actual goal is to not fall asleep in evening traffic, and these help a great deal. The apple helps too. By the time I get home (after 1-2 hours in traffic), I scarcely need to eat dinner!
Maybe I won't tonight...
