Mind Your Mindless Munching

*  Calories from snacking throughout the day add up quickly.

*  To find out how many calories you get from snacks, keep a food journal.

*  Use a tracking tool, such as smartphone apps like MyFitness Pal.

*  Once you see where excess calories come from, eat less and move more.

*  Instead of snacking while watching TV, do some seated exercises, walk in place, or ride a stationary bike. Or turn off the TV and go for a walk.

*  Do stretching exercises at your desk.

*  Walk the perimeter of the mall.

*  Have the coffee. Skip the doughnut. Calories Saved: 300+.

*  Omit the large soft-pretzel and 16-ounce soda while you shop. Calories Saved: 640+.
