6 Ways to Count to 100 Calories
If math isn't your favorite subject, then tracking how many calories you're consuming can be as exhausting as those ab exercises. But Dr. Madelyn Fernstrom says you can count calories and enjoy your food at the same time—just try to find 100-calorie snacks. Why 100 calories? It's not really a scientific fact, but it's easy to do the mental math, and those calories are enough to satisfy as a snack. Here's what 100 calories will get you, based on your craving type:
If you want 100 calories in starch:
Max your calories with a medium baked potato (fist-size), scooped and fluffed with some chives.
If you want 100 calories in protein:
Max your calories with three to four slices of roasted chicken breast without the skin.
If you want 100 calories of a salty or crunchy snack:
Max your calories with 10 whole dill pickles.
If you want 100 calories of a dairy product:
Max your calories with a cup of nonfat plain yogurt and add your own berries.
If you want 100 calories of a condiment:
Max your calories with two cups of tomato salsa.
If you want 100 calories of fruit:
Max your calories with a whole fresh fruit.
