Can\u2019t keep your hands out of that jar of nutty goodness? To keep your calorie count in check, divvy up those peanuts, cashews and pecans into serving size portions<\/a> (small Ziploc bags work great). And if you\u2019re opting for a trail mix that includes sugar-added dried fruit, pretzels, M&Ms or other confections, remember those handfuls will add up \u2014 fast.\u00a0Just a half-cup of the sweet and savory stuff can run you 350 calories and 23 grams of fat. Not quite the nutritional makeup of a guilt-free snack.<\/p>\n

The complex carbs<\/a> will help kick hunger to the curb, and keep you feeling fuller longer. Snacking smarter can be tough, but a little prep work \u2014 and some\u00a0mindful eating<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 can go a long way.<\/p>\n
