Snacks eaten in front of the TV are easy to forget, but the calories still count.
Option 1: one large bag of chips (about 1,050 kcal)
A 200 g bag is easy to finish on the sofa without noticing. It fills you up for a short time and has little protein or fibre.
Option 2: dinner plus dessert (about 1,050 kcal)
- Salmon dinner with vegetables, about 700 kcal
- Fruit and yogurt bowl, about 350 kcal
A full plate and a sweet bowl, for the same calories as one bag.
Snack smarter
- Put a portion in a bowl instead of eating from the bag.
- Choose popcorn, nuts in small portions or fruit.
- Don't keep big bags at home.
