But It's Only 100 Calories

100 Calorie Packs have become one of the hottest snack food trends. You can get everything from cheeto's and oreo's to yogurt in 100 calorie sizes now. Ideal for snacking? Not Really. Recently, a study was done that showed people who regularly eat the 100 calorie packs eat twice a much as people who buy the regular size.

Why? Because the people who buy the regular size snacks put some in a bowl and once the bowl is empty they are done. The people who buy the 100 calorie packs grab 2-3 packs and eat them all.

The food industry has done some sneaky marketing by promoting these 100 calorie snacks. Most people views these foods as healthier than there regular size portions. It's only 100 calories right, unlike the 180 calorie regular sizes? No, its 200-300 calories, unless you actually only eat one pack.

It has also been found that people will eat 100 calorie snacks more often than if they had bought the regular size. Again more total calories.

Just because it's a 100 calorie snack does not mean it's health. It's still JUNK and not part of a healthy diet.
