Your Snack Personality!

What's your snacking personality? The Smell and Taste Treatment Research Foundation believes the type of snack food you favor says a lot about you!

Carb Fiend: If potato chips are your weakness, it's likely you're a high achiever. But at 150 calories per serving, they add up fast! Try quick chips instead. Place 10 very thin potato slices in a circle, sprinkle with salt, cook on high for three minutes, flip, and cook two to three minutes longer until brown. Just 15 calories each and no fat!

Meat Lover: Those who reach for pepperoni and other meat snacks are said to be gregarious and social! Replace the high-fat, high-calorie versions with turkey pepperoni, and you'll slash the fat by 70 percent!

Salt Seeker: Like tortilla chips? You're probably a perfectionist humanitarian. Replace the standard variety with a serving of 13 baked chips, and you'll slash 30 calories and 7 grams of fat!

Cheddar Addict: Cheese lovers are said to be formal and conscientious. Replace full-fat cheese with fat-free varieties, and you'll trim half the calories!

Well my first instinct was the carb friend but I think most of the carbs I eat are for the salt. Not sure I'm a perfectionist but I

Hey-

Where's the choco-holic? LOL

If I HAD to choose one of those listed though I guess it would be the salt seeker...

I'm a combination of carb fiend and salt seeker ... but I wouldn't say I'm a high achiever. Perfectionist, definitely! I go for sugar a lot too, though ...

I guess I'm this one, although I did eat potato chips when I wanted salt. We do eat baked chips at lunch now on occasion, or Terra Chips. It does help and they do satisfy the cravings. I am a perfectionist, and I think I am becoming more of a humanitarian.

I'm definitely a carb addict - while I like the salty carbs - when I'm feeling like a pick me up it's the carb family that I rush to!

I'm definitely a potatoe chip person. I absolutely LOVE them. I'll have to try this suggestion...because I know myself well enough to know I'll never give them up. Being fit, thin whatever just doesn't mean as much to me as my chips, LOL. Oh and a high achiever? Heck yes!

Go.
