1. For years I had the same problem and it seems I was always throwing out produce! It made me crazy! First of all, for lettuce, don’t wash it until you are ready to use it… only wash what you are going to use. Wrap the rest in a damp paper towel and keep in the hydrator drawer of the fridge. It should last you the week. The other option is to make all of the salad and then premix the dressing into the bowl and cover tightly, I can usually get about 4 days worth of salad. (you should be eating a salad a day so if time is tight premix in a serving size plastic container and bring it with you…think plastic fork and napkin…its cheaper than eating out. I am also a big fan of the pre-bagged, pre-washed mixes. As soon as you get home, cut the bag open and pour into a large airtight container. It will last most of the week. Lastly, pick up the premade single serving size salads at the grocery store. They run about 5 bucks, and nothing goes to waste!

2. Use a half cup measuring cup. Quickest way to scoop out an appropriate snack size portion of trail mix or nuts. Look at package labels for serving sizes and measure accordingly for other snack foods!

Good luck! 🙂

Second: You said measure out the snacks… to what measurement?

Thanks!
