What this plate gives you
The tablespoon of almond butter is about 100 calories and 9 g of fat, nearly all of this snack’s 10 g; the rice cakes and banana are the 31 g of carbohydrate. At 221 calories it is 11 percent of a 2,000-calorie day. It is a low-protein snack, 5 g; the cottage cheese and tuna versions of the same rice cakes carry three to four times as much for the same calories.
Swaps
- Peanut butter: the same calories.
- Cottage cheese instead of the almond butter: about 12 g more protein and 60 calories fewer.
- Cinnamon on the banana: no change to the numbers.
Keeping it
Assemble when you eat; rice cakes soften under anything wet within ten minutes.
