Low fat snacking
Here's an interesting fact. And a good reason to stay away from those packaged "low-fat" snacks.
"Even those of us trying to picks "healthy" snacks are often fooled by packaging. For example, Cornell University researchers found that people tend to eat an average of 28 percent more calories when snacking on low-fat foods. After all, flavor has to come from somewhere, and when food marketers eliminate fat, they often make up for it with sugar. "

More awesome info
Love the Eat This, Not That lists. Now, find out what to eat or NOT eat before donning the swimsuit.
Sounds like the really bad boy to avoid is Chicken Caesar Salad!
"Salt binges can lead you to retain more water than the Hoover Dam. This one should be obvious. With parmesan cheese, fried croutons, salty dressing and anchovies, chicken Caesar salad is one of the most sodium-packed foods out there. (Versions at certain sit-down chains can contain more than 1,900 mg of sodium!) But it's not just the salt; Caesar ranks right up there with taco salads as one of the most misbegotten "health" foods out there. Some versions at sit-down chain restaurants have more than 1,000 calories, 75 grams of fat and nearly 2,000 milligrams of sodium. (YEOUCH!) Chicken can be a great option, though, because it's a lean meat with protein that fills you up and helps you fight belly fat. Grilled chicken sandwiches can give you the same full feeling as the Caesar salad, without the huge caloric load and bulging belly. Add a side salad with vinaigrette dressing, and you've got a more complete meal with only about 200 extra milligrams of sodium."

Some awesome info!
I love the editor of Men's Health ever since reading The Abs Diet for Women book. (I currently can't find my copy and it's bugging me. It has great weight-lifting routines in it. The main one I have memorized and is the one I usually do.) This guy also co-wrote the Eat This, Not That books. Lots of the info can be found on their website, though.
