Bloggy Giveaway!!!

* This giveaway is now closed to entries. The winner will be contacted directly!*



So, when you do crave something salty and good did you know it's actually OK to munch on a few? I was actually surprised to hear that too! Well, thanks to Frito-Lay for sharing that information, I'll still choose moderation but here are a few fun facts about Chips:

Click here to read more on this Snack...* Chips are made from potatoes or corn, mixed with healthier oils and sprinkled with salt.
* Most Frito-Lay chips have less sodium than a slice of bread and serving of Cheerios.
* They are high in unsaturated "good" fats, lower in saturated fat and have 0 grams of trans fat.

To help people track nutritional information, Frito-Lay has created an online tool called, License to Snack.

License to Snack is a new interactive web-based tool brought to you by Frito-Lay, in collaboration with the American Dietetic Association. We want people to know that snacking is not sneaking, and guilt and snacking are not one in the same! No food needs to be off-limits and learning the rules of snacking can help you make healthier choices for you and your family.

I am a numbers girl, especially when it comes to calories and general nutritional content in my foods. I used to enter all of my foods online and see a report of each nutritional requirement and where I fell short each day. I would also enter my calories burned so I was aware of how much my fat burnin' is paying off! Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the License to Snack tool can do this for you too!

When you go to License to Snack, there is a tool called "Your Personal Dashboard." In this, you can enter your exercise and get an estimate of how many calories you have burned. They also encourage the use of the Food Pyramid as well. My weight-loss success hasn't been from a fad diet or quick pill. My success is as a result of moderation, cutting calories, and ensuring I get all my food groups in!

And, up for grabs are some Frito-Lay goodies! Yummy. This giveaway bowl will include: Tostitos, a healthy dip, Fritos and Lays Singles. And, after hearing that chips can be a healthy snack option, you can feel OK enjoying them!
