Is seems like more and more companies are coming up with 100 calorie pack snacks every day. They are low-fat and low calorie. That means they're good for you. Right? Well maybe. Before buying you should read the ingredients. Some contain fully hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats better known as trans fats. Others will list high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup solids, and MSG. If you run across expeller-pressed oleic safflower oil it's a good thing. That means the oil was removed from the seed naturally, without the use of chemicals. To find a 100 calorie pack to fit your diet and nutritional requirements be sure to read the labels. I'd recommend the South Beach Diet Woven Wheat Crackers, they only have four ingredients, are low fat, have 3 grams of fiber and are delicious all for 100 calories.
