Got a sweet tooth?  Crave something sweet, especially for nighttime eating, but don’t want a lot of calories or fat?  Are you a carbohydrate craver?  Want to lose weight — I’ve got an idea for you.  Try unsweetened applesauce for a snack.<\/p>\n

A whole cup (a lot) of applesauce will provide only about 102 calories, and none to speak of from fat.  It gives a lot of vitamin C; almost 86% of your daily minimum requirements.  This data comes from NutritionData.com<\/a>, which also has a lot of other information you may be interested in. <\/p>\n

While applesauce is not perfect, because it does get most of its calories from sugar, it does have some fiber in it, and vitamins, and is a far better choice for a snack instead of a candy bar, or ice cream.  If you are diabetic, of course consult with your doctor before snacking on applesauce.  Actually, everyone should consult with their doctor on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

I find it a good thing for late night eating because it fills me up, has some substance to it (as juice or tea doesn’t), is very sweet and tasty.  Also, have a look at what I’ve written about nighttime eating, in this link.<\/a><\/p>\n

You can get it in large glass jars, where it’s the least expensive, or in individual \u00bd cup servings in little plastic containers.  Those may be good for a snack on the go that doesn’t need to be refrigerated.  Please don’t buy the sugared kind, that’s full of calories, and I think overly sweet.  Sprinkling some cinnamon, nutmeg or apple-pie spices on top makes it especially good.<\/p>\n

Please try some unsweetened applesauce as a snack or dessert and let us all know what you think.<\/p>\n
