So I went shopping yesterday, got fruit, 100 calorie snack bags, light yogurts, new 60 calorie jello mousse, and a lot of it is gone already!
A lot of it is my kids, and although this happened on the weekend, it happens every weekday too. DH and I both work full time, and the kids beat us home. I come home to a garbage can full of wrappers every day.
I'm trying to buy fruits, light/low cal snacks, nuts, etc. but what's the point if you're going to eat 6 - 100 calorie snacks in one sitting?
How do you address this situation in your house? Should I just not care and let them eat whatever? I won't buy more until the next shopping trip, so it's not like I'm refilling daily or anything.
Any suggestions for a kid friendly snack that's filling (so you don't go back looking for more)?
TIA
