When you are driving in your car and you feel a hunger pain, don't spoil your dinner with a burger and fries. Pull up to McDonald's drive-thru and order the healthy Fruit and Yogurt Parfait. This fruity delight is only 130 calories and will satisfy your hunger without eating a ton of junk.


You hop off the school bus and you are famished. It has been hours since you ate lunch and dinner seems like eon's away. Instead of reaching for an unhealthy snack for a quick relief, grab some Wheat Thins and String Cheese. Crackers and cheese used to seem like a snack food for grown-ups but now it's a super cool and super yummy after school snack. One single serving bag of Wheat Thins and one String Cheese will add 240 calories to your healthy frame but will also leave plenty of room in your stomach for dinner.
