While I was there, I nabbed a small spaghetti squash… Kinda like a personal pan pizza, but a personal puny spaghetti squash. 😉
I cooked it up last night to enjoy for lunch today.
I topped the spaghetti squash with marinara meat sauce, Parmesan and ricotta cheese and stirred it up until the sauce coated every last strand of squash.
Though there’s a lot of volume in this lunch, I knew I would probably feel hungry in no time without some additional protein.
For dessert, I had overnight oats prepared with old fashioned oats, Greek yogurt, strawberries and instant chocolate pudding mix.
This concoction was suuuuper tasty!
8 Worst Snacks
Today WebMD compiled a list of the 8 worst snacks. Check ’em out and see if anything you eat made the list!
8 Worst Snacks:
- Chocolate-coated doughnuts and mini doughnuts (Entenmann’s Pop’ems)
- Snack pies (Hostess fruit pies)
- Movie-theater butter microwavable popcorn (Pop-Secret Extra Butter)
- Lunchables by Oscar Mayer
- Regular chips and Cheetos
- Packaged frozen snacks (Jimmy Dean biscuits, Hot Pockets)

Though I wasn’t shocked, I was sad to see Cheez-Its on the list.
They’re just so darn delicious!

I occasionally eat the Lean Jimmy Dean Breakfast sandwiches, I think they’re good. They usually have egg whites, turkey sausage, and low fat cheese on some kind of bread. They’re not that bad for you I don’t think. Cheez its being on there makes me sad too.
Linda says
I love those fruit pies. Hubby and I get them sometimes.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I totally forgot about Lunchables! They were so cool in elementary school. I’m sad about the Cheez-Its, too…they’re the only thing on that list that I really love!!
homecookedem says
I don’t eat any of those things, but I too am sad about cheez-its! I used to eat those and goldfish everyday for an after-school snack as a kid!
Thanks for the walgreens photo code!! Just ordered another one of my wedding photos to go in an 8×10 frame I found while spring cleaning!! Perfect!! 🙂
Kelly says
Those made me laugh? I mean do we really need Web MD to tell us that chocolate covered donuts and movie popcorn are not good for us? Sheesh!
peanutbutterfingers says
oh & this just in: chips aren’t good for you either! 🙂
Kelly says
NOOOO!!!! Julie…you’re breaking my heart! 🙂
Lindsey says
I love cheez-its and cheetos!!! I don’t care if they’re ‘bad’! 😉
Morgan @ Healthy Happy Place says
eek, I eat regular chips/cheez-its all the time! not in excess, but I probably have a couple of servings a week.
coffeeismycarrot says
I don’t eat any of that except on very rare occasions, but I was also sad about the cheez-its. Of all the crap out there, I was a little suprised by that one speciifically. The rest sound about right.
Maureen says
I was sad to see Cheez Its on the list but I am not surprised! I love them but don’t eat them regularly.
I printed out the free TCBY coupon! Thank you so much for posting about that offer on your blog! You’re AWESOME!
Katie @ Health for the Whole Self says
I’m happy to say I very rarely eat any of those things – though I do love those mini chocolate-covered doughnuts!
midgetkeeper says
🙁 I love cheez its. They are addicting though so I don’t buy them often.
Alison says
Ewww I am proud to say that I never eat any of the 8 unhealthy snacks mentioned above! I honestly don’t understand how people can put such things into their body…I guess my love of clean eating is too strong 🙂
Low Fat Protein Bars says
chocolate and strawberry yogurt pudding, never tried that before.

Hi Julie! I am a longtime reader of PB Fingers but a first time commenter… (is that a word? can it be a word? IDK) But anyway, I am just browsing through old posts like this one and I’m wondering why you have a line through the Viactiv calcium chews you talk about. I also take 1-2 of these a day and have for years since I don’t include a lot of calcium in my diet! Just wondering if there was a reason for the line or it might just be a random input?
