9. Gummy Candy
“Trust me, gummies used to be my go-to treat when I was a stressed-out magazine editor,” says Largeman-Roth. “I also craved them during my first two pregnancies. But I realized that I was just getting a whole lot of sugar, and in most cases, artificial colors and flavors too. So I quit them.”
Instead, give frozen grapes a try. “If you need something sweet to munch on during that Netflix binge, a bunch of frosty grapes is just what the nutritionist ordered.” They’re satisfying, delicious, and provide natural sweetness without any added sugars. Frozen grapes are super easy to make, too: Rinse and drain them and place on a cookie sheet. Freeze for two hours and enjoy. (P.S. They also make fantastic ice cubes).
10. Ranch Dressing
“Avoid creamy sauces, like ranch dressing or mayonnaise-based dips,” Davis recommends. They’re high in fat and can add a lot of calories to an otherwise healthy meal. Choose olive oil with some vinegar for a lighter, healthier option.
