Gee, No Thanks: 100 Calorie Packs

Rachel, from my new favorite health/nutrition blog, Shedding It and Getting It, rants about those 100 calorie packs. I hate those things. Have you ever — EVER — felt satisfied after eating one? Or do you just feel unsatisfied and a little annoyed because whatever you were eating tasted far worse than the original? Plus, they’re so processed it’s not even funny.

Check out the rest of the blog while you’re there. She has me almost convinced to buy a Magic Bullet!

ETA: Reader Erin emailed to remind me of the only 100 calorie pack worth the money: pre-portioned plain nuts. Nuts are oh-so-easy to OD on, so it’s nice to have pre-portioned packages ready to go. (I love my TJ’s Just A Handful, though those have 200 cals). Thanks, Erin!
