Comparison Chart for Snacks

Mar 08, 2009

As I enter my "Maintaining Phase" of my journey, I must still be aware and make wise decisions. I still and probably always will watch my carb intake the most and base my decisions on how many carbs each food has. Here is an interesting chart I found that I keep posted on my refrigerator as well to help me keep this balance until it becomes a more natural/automatic decision-making process:
