A few weeks back I typed ‘food and health blog’ into google and guess what I found: Food and Health.com and I knew immediately that I wanted Judy to be a guest blogger. Judy is is the president of Food and Health Communications, a private publishing company dedicated to “making nutrition science edible.” She has a passion for creating healthful dishes that are delicious and easy to prepare and for competing in half-ironman triathlons! To learn more about Judy, please visit her bio.
Food and Health is wealth of information and recipes. There are even newsletters and handouts that you can download for free so head on over and learn more. Judy was gracious enough to send me some great links to share and told me to let her know which post I would like to feature so without further ado: 100 Calorie Snacks – in Pictures
“Take a look at our new poster – 100 Calorie Snack Packs. We were so surprised at the difference in size between the portions of calorie-dense “snacks” like cookies, bagels, donuts and chips, and all of the fruits and nonfat light yogurt. For 100 calories of carrots, apples, grapes, oranges, celery, berries and a banana you get to eat a larger portion than with cookies.
And here is one pic we took for fun – 100 calories of lettuce! Imagine if most people chose that more often than chips! They would not even be able to finish 100 calories of lettuce in most cases.
And that is precisely our point with this poster – which item would make you feel more full? It is not easy to eat just 100 calories of chips – but it is more likely that you will feel full after just one apple which is only 70-80 calories!”

Thank you Judy for guest blogging and educating us about what we should be eating.
