The Snack-pack Trap

Big or small, it’s still a bag of garbage.

They found that people ate the same amount of cookies or chips, regardless of whether they came in a large, multiserving bag or single-serving packs. “The biggest influence on junk-food intake appeared to be the amount people kept in their house,” says study author Hollie Raynor, Ph.D. So clean out your pantry, and then stock it with fruit.
