Why It's Healthy: Unsalted popcorn is a great source of fiber and is low in fat. Almonds are high in Vitamin E and are loaded with antioxidants. Why It Works for Weight Loss: The ratio of unsaturated fat to protein in almonds, along with the fiber, helps to reduce hunger. They are also low in carbs and high in protein. A note about snacks: We usually recommend a snack stay in the 200 calorie range and this one is slightly over, but because of all that healthy fiber you'll feel fuller longer and these are healthy calories!
