Two Craving Quenchers for Playing the Slots

You're a busy woman, and sometimes the only options for satisfying your hunger are found in that vending machine in the airport or office hallway. For those of you who don't want to starve during late nights at the office or hours of airport delays, Dr. Madelyn Fernstrom shares a few ways to get the best out of a vending machine.

Craving Type: Salt
Choose the smallest bag of regular chips, baked chips or pretzels. Nutritionally, they're all about the same.

Craving Type: Chocolate
Choose a small chocolate bar, preferably with almonds. Avoid nougat fillers, which add calories and sugar.

The most nutritious choice is trail mix—just try to avoid mixes that contain candy.

Bottom line: Choose carefully from the vending machine. You can always something find something for about 200 calories. Think of it as an indulgence, and make it an occasional splurge

Even more reason to use as little as possible.
