Fit Tip Tuesday

Don't allow the thought of celery to take you over the deep end when it comes to staying on track with your daily calorie intake. This green stock will give you the satisfaction of snacking without the extra calories.   
Did you know that one cup of chopped raw celery has only 16 calories and 1 large stalk has only 10 calories. if you are cooking it will have around 27 calories per cup.
Where the challenge come in are the extras that you might add to give it flavor but depending on what you use it can help or harm.
I like mine with One tablespoon of almond butter and I count this has one of my daily fats. You do need to take into account that almond butter has 100 calories, 10 grams of fat, 2 grams of protein, 4 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fiber. Based on a 2,000-calorie diet, it also provides 10 percent and 8 percent of the daily values for magnesium and phosphorus, respectively, as well as 4 percent each of the daily values for calcium, iron and zinc. Almond butter also contains trace amounts of several important B vitamins.

Healthy Fats
Almond butter contains a high amount of fat per serving, it's primarily heart-healthy unsaturated fat. The American Heart Association recommends getting 25 to 35 percent of your daily calories from fat, with unsaturated fats as the primary source. Replacing saturated fats found in animal products and trans fats found in processed foods with unsaturated fats may contribute to lower cholesterol and a healthier heart.
