I'm not sure how it got started but people just say bump when they want to save the thread to their page to read later. I personally think it's strange and why not just say a quick statement about it to get it on your page? But that's just me...0 -

We’ve all been there: hunger striking before the dinnertime clock, a sudden craving for something sweet, the need for a quick energy boost before working out.
The solution? A small and satisfying snack that won’t tip that calorie count over the edge!
The problem with snacking is when a quick nibble turns into enough calories to count as a meal, yet this list of healthy, low calorie treats is enough to please any palate.
This list is filled with sizeable options that are enjoyable enough to devour guilt-free without any diet damage..and while most of these snacks pack a nutritious punch, a few are clearly set out to satisfy that sweet tooth (see #23!). But hey, at 100 calories or less, it’s worth the splurge!
