2) A small spoonful of peanut butter on a slice of whole wheat bread: Yes, peanut butter doesn’t help your diet, but the good news is that it contains unsaturated fat, dietary fiber, protein, and vitamin E. So why? not? try a little once in a while?

3) Two Weight Watchers Lemon Gingerbread Cookies – Inexpensive and very tasty, they contain much less amount of sugar than regular cookies. Delicious!

4) Up to 30 grams of sweetened cashews: Nuts are actually a very nutritious food, since they are full of fiber and protein. Adding a little sugar, once in a lifetime, doesn’t hurt.
