I have to share my little splurge when I'm dying for chocolate!

Okay I LOVE choc but as you know right now its not okay for me to splurge, so I concocted this YUMMY dessert!! Here it is... so I take a half a serving of my banana choc Protein bar which is 48 calories and then I take 1 tablespoon of my choc pudding (see pic), now mind you I only have a Tablespoon but you can have more if your going crazy.. because a serving 1/2 cup of this pudding is only 60 calories. Then I take a tiny squirt of Fat free whip cream 5 calories for 2 TBSP!!! no fat no carb etc..so for my little piece of heaven it cost me approx 55 calories and gives me 5 g of protein .5 fat!! now you can spice it how ever you want by adding half banana or a strawberry etc.. or you can go BIG and half a whole Protein bar serving and still have under 100 calories..and that is nice size dessert!

my Favorite veggie snack of the week is sugar snap peas!

I love putting a few on my salads because it gives me the CRUNCH i like!

Yummy lunch after a HARD morning of training..now its recovery time...ahh

This salad is HUGE!! with all my favorite fruits and veggies

Tips for sugar alcohols

Read food labels carefully to find out if a product contains sugar alcohols. Look for the words maltitol, lactitol, sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, isomalt, and glycerol.
Sugar alcohols may have a laxative effect, especially in children

Portion Tip on Fats!

• All fats are high in calories. Limit serving sizes for good nutrition and health
• Nuts and seeds are good sources of unsaturated fats if eaten in MODERATION. They have small amounts of fiber, protein, and magnesium

Portion Tip
Your thumb is about the same size and volume as 1 TBSP of salad dressing, mayonnaise, margarine, or oil. It is also about the same size as 1 ounce of cheese. A thumb TIP is about the size of 1 teaspoon of margarine, mayonnaise, or other fats and oils.
