Okay, my recent 40 year old status aside, I WOULD TOTALLY BRING THE PLATE WITH ME EVERYWHERE. Must procure.

I’m not really a fan of those packs for the main reason that it’s usually a processed food. Cookies are cookies. Crappy crackers are crappy crackers. You’re still putting poopy stuff into your body. Now, the almond ones are fine – I’m referring to the other kind. And also, it gives people more of an excuse to eat crap. It may only be 100 calories, but it’s still crap.

If I’m going to crappy stuff into my body, it will be in the form of a martini!

THANK YOU for writing this… I had a huge ranting post a while back on my blog about 100 calorie packs. They drive me mad.

Also I would LOVE to take a plate like that into a restaurant… the reaction would be way too funny!

Another great post. I don’t go anywhere near those 100 calorie packs. If I want an oreo cookie, I will have a real oreo cookie – not a 100 calorie pack of oreo whatever they are called.

Oh, and I’m going to guess – are you from the east coast?

I have consumed a few 100 cal packs in my day. Most of these said packs were consumed when I first started WW. I liked the idea of eating my favorite snack and having a portion divided out for me. I have not bought these in a couple years as now I know that I feel more satisfied with REAL food. I came to a realization that an apple or and egg white sandwich held me over much longer that 5 wheat thins out of a baggie.

Also Mizfit you say you don’t need to watch calories if your are eating clean. Did you post on this before? I am new to your blog and this really intrigues me. I have been maintaining a 60# loss for about 2 years and still am very conscious about the calories in things. I lost on WW so I am a point freak but eat fairly clean.

My favorite part of the plate is the sauce circle. Ha! While the plate itself is silly, I get the concept. Doesn’t the AHA recommend *mentally* dividing your plate and putting xyz in 1/3 and filling the rest with veggies? That mental rule of thumb makes sense to this member of the bumbling band.

Also! (note i am normally NOT this contrary)

I love the 100 cal packs. I didn’t realize that one could get junk food in that size, tho. I loves me the the almonds (although I generally make my own snack pac of almonds b/c the 100 cal ones are hard to find in these parts) and the popcorn bags.

But then, I’m a half-hearted weight watcher who is all about the portion control. I like the idea of figuring out how much 100 calories is of thing I usually eat (rough estimate…not talking about exact science!) so it’s easier to stay on plan. Kind of like the points system. So, depending on how many cals i’m aiming for, I can easily adjust what I eat.

Maybe that’s just my inner Excel nerd coming out, tho??
