Let's be honest we all love to snack! Who doesn't enjoy a sensuous sweet treat or a salty little tidbit? Unfortunately if you weren't born with the "skinny forever genes" then you run the risk of "WEIGHT GAIN!" never-the-less it is difficult not to reach for a snack especially after a vigorous workout, coming in from classes or hard days work. So I decided to look around for some delicious and savory snacks you can enjoy on the cheap and without post-binge regrets. It wasn't easy but I did come across some little delights that I believe will satisfy your snack cravings. I was going for 80-100 calories per snack. Enjoy!
