which snacks can we munch more and more without becoming fat?
Answers:
Any food can make you fat if you are eating more calories than you are burning. However, vegetables like celery sticks, baby carrots, or cherry tomatoes are fat free and very low in calories. Plus the fiber in vegetables will fill you up so that you don't overeat. Just don't load them up with dip!
