Those of you who eat 100 cal snacks, how many do you eat a day. I usually have 1 with my lunch, 1 with my dinner, and an afternoon snack. Is this too much??

    No I don't think so .. you're supposed to have 3 meals and 3 snacks a day. I think you are fine!

    That's perfect! Enough to keep your metabolism high! Eat loads of high fiber and protein.....

    I love these things. Easy snack on the go. I have 6 different ones so I spice it up each day but I normally only have 1 or 2 a day for a snack. I am not to sure if that's bad for you or not but I definitely love them! My favorite is Kraft cheese bites!

    The number of snacks you have is fine...but I would seriously watch which ones you're eating. Those 100 calorie packs are the same "bad" product, just a smaller portion. So they're loaded with sugar, processed carbs, high fructose corn syrup, and sodium. The only 100 calorie packs I eat are Orville Redenbacher's Kettle Korn Smart Pop bags.

    I have the hostess mini chocolate cakes, 100 cal pack rice cakes, nabisco snacks...I would like to add that I do eat at least 3 veggies, and 2 fruits a day, lean protien. I also do 3 hours of cardio a day. Dont know if that makes a difference?

    Depends how hungry I am!!! I think yesterday I ate over 700 calories of snacks... most of them 100 cal packs.

    But today I've only had a banana and a bag of popcorn as a snack.

    I think the key here is moderation...

    Ashley P you do 3 hours of cardio? Crazy!! :)

    I think you are fine. Part of dieting is creating sustainable habits so that means not cutting out all of your favorite foods, but just controlling for the portions. I think 100 calorie snacks are a great way to do this. I usually have one with lunch and one after dinner. My favorites are Cheetos Asteroids, Hostess Mini Cakes, and Keebler Cookies and Cream.
