Anne Russell, editor-in-chief of "Shape" magazine.

Used to Eat: Pretzels or chips for snacking, 300 calories.

"Chips and other prepared snack foods weren't important to me in a nutritional sense, but they were extremely important to me in a recreational eating sense. Between meals, especially in the afternoon, I crave a fun snack -- something that has a lot of crunch and strong flavor."

Calorie Bargain: "My favorite substitution is half a bag of sugar snap peas, 100 calories. The peas, which you eat whole in the pod, are crispy, a little sweet and, with a little salt, are far more satisfying than chips. Veggies like radishes and carrots are also good substitutes."

Calorie Savings: 200.
