What are some low cal treats? Are they worth it?

Frankly I won't eat anything labeled diet on it because it tastes funny to me so why should I make my Derek eat them?

Well I know he loves ice cubes and lettuce with 1000 island dressing on it. I once turned my back and my entire salad was gone Wink

the dressing probably make that snack high calorie though.

i don't know about low cal treats. i usually just buy healthier treats and bust'em up for zaphod since at his age he has to watch his intake.

marvin and zaphod love carrots and apples - i think it came from horse jealousy.

I wouldn't worry about low cal. Unless a weim isn't getting proper excercise, the extra cals would be a good thing. They burn a lot of energy.
