Tips for Luch

* You can add 10 dill pickle slices of the Sure Fine brand for 0 calories.
* When using sugar-free pudding cups, eat no more than once a week, they are 50 calories alone.
* You can use Kraft Handi-Snacks, sugar fee, 50 calories per 14 oz cup; but this really is just one more form of junk food. The Splenda, along with Maltitol gives loose bowels in many people is eaten frequently. It is best that you limit this to 2-4 times a month, and should be used as a special treat; for example, Friday for good behaviors all week long.
* To ripen nectarines for a more flavorful and tasty than store-bought peaches, place them in a brown paper sach, fold over the top, and pin with paperclip for 24-48 hours. This fruit will ripen beautifully and works much better than peaches.
* When more calories can be added, it would be much better to include an orange, nectarine, or banana in packed lunches.
* The goal is around 300 calories per meal, so you can leave room for snacks.
