I didn't realize how many calories Trail Mix was! I used to down that by the handfuls in nursing school... :noway: Now I realize how I had gained 12 pounds in less than 3 months!

yeah, trail mix you'd think would be a healthy snack alternative.

lol, yes! I've been learning just because it says healthy or "diet" doesn't mean it is safe to eat calorie wise.

I was buying Lean Cusine's and some of them have 400+ calories which isn't to bad unless you have a 1200 calorie a day goal and didn't count calories... now I budget 300 or less for each meal and 100 or less for 3 snacks.

I laugh because I made that discovery too yesterday and today.

I was in the store today and had a small bag of almond, cashews and another nut cant remeber but the package was about the size of the planter peanut bag. One serving 145 calories not bad right...serving size in bag 2.5 that would have gone down in one handful...

Hahaha.... yeah... Nursing School did the same thing to me... I ate trail mix... put on the pounds... I can't blame it all on the trailmix though...

That stuff is the devil!! :devil:

I love trail mix....but avoid it at all costs now!!! :laugh:

I mean, it's not BAD for you, if it's the nut and dried fruit combos........it just is high in calories if you don't portion it out!! :ohwell:
