Snack Attack!!

Hi there! If you are reading this then that means I have a reader (lol). I took a break from weight loss and blogging for a while, but I’m back with some great recipes that I came up with during this time! It was really nice to let myself eat a little more over the last couple of months and I’m happy to say that I didn’t gain a pound back! I’ve lost 32 pounds at this point and I’d like to lose 10-15 more before summer. This would put me in the mid to low end of my ideal weight for my body shape/size.

The great thing about the recipes that I came up with while my diet was on hiatus is that they are all at the same calorie level that I would eat at while losing weight. The only difference in my diet came from increased snacking. Oh, the snacking was divine! Let me share with you some of my favorite snacks (the ones that won’t break the calorie bank).

These little cakes really are amazing. I've found these near the frozen waffles at both Publix and Wal Mart. I think it was $4 something for a box of 8 at both places. 
 
 
The Great Value (Wal Mart brand) individual ice cream cups are great because they come in 100 calorie serving sizes. I was buying the Blue Bell version at around 170 calories each until I found these. This is just the right amount for a sweet snack! You could mix this with the vita cake or a few M&M's and some sugar free syrup for a sundae :-)

And in other news... you can eat pizza on a diet!


These pizzas come in this kind (370 calories) or supreme (350 calories). These were located with the regular individual sized pizzas at Wal Mart for $4 a box of four. Cheap, delicious, and with a perfect amount of calories… I felt like this was just too good to be true when I found these. I like to eat this by dipping it in a little fat free ranch and seasoning it with Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning (available just about everywhere).

Stay tuned; there are more recipes coming! Because I use MyFitnessPal to track everything that I eat, I have every recipe logged and ready to be blogged. I’ll need to organize all my food pictures before I can set up the recipes. Take care and I hope that you got some ideas from this post!
