Pretzels are a great alternative to potato chips when you're watching fat and calories!

Dieting and lifestyle changes are about making choices. Better choices.

Instead of sitting down in front of the television with a giant bag of Lay's potato chips (delicious though they might be), try making big bowl of air-popped popcorn, a single-serving microwave bag of popcorn, or pouring out a couple of handfuls of pretzels.

Watch portion sizes. Learn to know portion sizes by measuring or counting out your snacks until you become familiar with a real portion size. Hint - it is not the whole bag (except for those cute little 100-calorie packs everyone has out now).
