Snacking does not have to be a dirty word. Healthy snacking is good if you have the right foods. In the right combination it can actually improve your diet and your health. Choose foods from at least two different food groups, such as fruit and grains, or vegetables and dairy. If you have 3 good meals a day, your snack should be between 150-200 calories. If you eat light, then 300-400 calories is appropriate. So, bring on the apple and peanut butter, or that cracker with cheese!!

Is wine considered a fruit?
