middle river and another batch toward the west. sykesville in the action and towards the area. a light rain intimaten breaking up at times this morning. but we expect that to fill back in. the radar

and the next system will catch up with chilly air. 56 that's today's afternoon two degree guarantee with steadier rain through the evening and tonight back to 52. we will talk about the chilly air maybe snowflakes nearby in the next half-hour. back to you, megan. >> thanks. there's not a lot of action at the yard in mid-november but since it's landmark, we wanted to send the newest member there

paying big bucks. >> a lot of travelers think that upgrades are for vips and celebrities but average travel kers get upgrades for airfare and hotel and car rentals if they know where to look. >> reporter: here's what you have to do. first with airfare, look at the type of coach ticket you are buying. make sure it qualifies for upgrades minus fees and make note. best day for upgrades is saturday. that's when fewer elite travelers hit the skies or try your luck during the off season. second, check for new routes. >> a lot of times, airlines lay nouns rates and people don't know about it, and that can be a optimum time to get up to the front of the cabin. >> reporter: third, get to the front by shopping around for deals and promotions. >> look online and sign up for each airline's individual newsletter. >> reporter: and although experts say it's rare, asking nicely may do the trick for international flights. it worked for jeffrey on a trip to south africa. >> and the agent said well, mr. ward, there are no upgrade for sale but we are pleased to offer a complimentary upgrade. >> reporter: experts agree, loyalty programs will pay off. >> when you travel a lot or a little, so, that's because most of them are free to enter anyway and free to become a member of and they don't expire. >> reporter: jeff is a member of several loyalty programs but will never forget the free upgrade. >> i felt pretty -- pretty special. >> that was charlie crowson reporting. and remember, in order to get the best upgrades, you have to arrive early. so something to keep in mind if you are

some see a meal and others say it's snack. but between meal munching on the rise and more high fat calorie high diets on the menu, it's becoming harder for all of us to know where exactly do we draw the line. abc2 news kelly swoope tells us the nutrition experts are definitely concerned. >> reporter: like most of us, dominic's days are jam packed. >> i work 7 days a week and going to school full-time as well. >> reporter: between work and class, he's no stranger to snack attacks. >> i snack just about every day whether it's in place of a meal or in between meals. >> reporter: dominic is. >> the only one eating in between meals many daley snacking is on the rise as busy americans grow short on time and need to grab on the go. >> in the 70s about 71% of adults snacked every day. but now, it's about 97%. and among children, about 98%. >> reporter: nutrition touted the benefits of munching in between meals. the problem from small to nabbing size entrees to popular side dishes the line between a snack and a meal is becoming increasingly blurry. >> even if it's small sandwich, they are considering that a snack and they are eating 24-7. and that's really because all the enticing high fat high calorie fare is increasingly available. >> reporter: and and you at low prices. at fast-food restaurants across the country, dollar menu deals and steals are among the post popular snack items. take the snack wraps from mcdonald's and popeye's. each contains around 400 calories and more than 15 grams of fat. >> if something has three or 400 calories, that's getting into meal territory. >> reporter: other popular fast-food fare includes pies, fries and popcorn shrimp. dominic snacks on the honey barbeque snack wrap 3 to 4 times a week even though he knows the nutrition stats. >> i can eat it on the go. the fat and calorie content doesn't concern me. >> reporter: high calorie mini foods are found at the grocery store. >> these things are billed as snack foods but a really don't come from the basic healthy food group. >> reporter: we contact the snack food association several time and they didn't respond. of the six fast-food restaurants four provided statements. mcdonald's, burger king and kentucky fried chicken say the menus include a variety of different portion and calorie choices. and they provide nutrition information so customers can make informed decisions. popeyes says they believe the menu should be enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle. >> check out calorie information on the menu board. check out the websites. >> reporter: there is mo true definition for snack. but she considers it to be something that contains one to 200 calories and comes from the basic food groups. >> whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and low fat choices of dairy foods and lean meat. >> reporter: option at the grocery store and at many fast-food restaurant. if you like to piece together snack size foods for a meal you need to pay attention to portion size. pick two or three items that add up to no more than 5 or 600 calories. kelly swoope, abc2 news. >> all right, sings we are talking food, if you are worried about overeating over the holidays. make this your mantra. moderation, not deprivation i got that from robin martinez who is a registered nurse and certified diabetes educator for delmarva foundation for medical care. good to see you. >> good to be here, megan. >> all right i love this. because i think this is something that everybody struggles with and i know you your focus is diabetes but everybody goes through this for the holidays. you want to eat but it's bad for you. >> right. >> reporter: >> especially if you have diabetes. what do you do? >> well, the thing is there's no such thing as a diabetic diet anymore. what we want everyone to do is eat in healthy way. so, this is what you eat on a thanks giving dinner. and the reason i say moderation not deprivation is that you don't have to throw all of this food away and eat completely different food. you just want to control your portion sizes. so, had is a pretty typical plate size. and instead of using this size, you want to go smaller. you want to have about a 9 inch plate. so and you set the plate up so that a quarter of the plate is your protein. so for thanksgiving dinner that, might be your turkey or ham or whatever. meat or whatever you are a vegetation tofu for the dinner, a quarter of the plate is going to be what we call a starchy vegetable. so that would be something like pasta, it would be rice and gravy at thanksgiving dinner. mashed potatoes sweet potatoes those items. and, that would be be a quarter of the plate. also, instead of having one starchy food item on the plate, you could have macaroni and cheese on a little corner here and then have a little bit of stuffing. so. >> you can take less to have more. >> exactly. exactly. and half of the plate is going to be your nonstarchy vegetable. so that would be something like green beans, broccoli, and sauerkraut and cabage cauliflower any nonstarchy vegetable. >> that's the one thing if we are going a stock up on one thing make it be the vegetable neectsly. that's very true. they've lot of fiber in it. and for people with type 2 diabetes, the fiber will help them stay full longer and also will take longer to digest and breakdown. so their blood sugar remains level. >> one thing i like that you said when we were chatting is you said a lot of people who have type 2 diabetes they have been eating one way their whole life. so, it's more realistic to do something like that than to say don't eat any of it. >> change is very difficult for all of us. and when it comes to something like eating, an activity all of us enjoy, it's very difficult for all of to us change our behavior. so, in addition to setting the plate up like this, you can have eight ounce of milk or if you don't like milk or dare product lighto hello, gut cottage cheese if you don't like those things have a small dinner roll and small piece of fruit so that's going to be cranberry sauce for thanksgiving. and you can also have free what we call free foods. big garden salad when white salad -- light salad dressing or more vegetables and that's a filling meal. >> tell everybody where to reach you. >> reach us at emmc.org or call the main number at delmarva foundation 443-285-0190. and you can ask for me or the program manager. angela diction. >> thanks for all this information. and this looks like a good plate. i think that's the realistic. >> thank you. >> i forgot to ask about the pie. all right. it might be a reiny day and might not be baseball season. why in the world are jamie and charlie out at oriole park having fun. what are you doing?
