Focus on fiber and protein. Choose cereal bars, |
|
granola bars or energy bars with some protein (check the Nutrition Facts) and some fiber to help keep you full longer. |
|
|
Pretzels or baked chips are a great low-fat, low-calorie |
| |
way to satisfy the mid-day munchies. |
|
|
Choose fruits, vegetables and salads, prepackaged |
|
and ready-to-eat. They are high in nutrients, crunchy, convenient and great tasting. |
|
|
For a snack that is high in protein and calcium, |
|
reach for a carton of low-fat milk or yogurt. |
|
|
It’s unrealistic to give up sweet treats if you really enjoy |
|
them. Like anything else, eat them “wisely” and in moderation. |
|
|
Craving cookies? Animal crackers, fig bars, ginger |
|
snaps, pop tarts or graham crackers are great tasting lower fat choices. Pair these with low-fat milk, a protein-rich food, and you’ve satisfied that craving. |
|
|
Go nuts. Choose a package of peanuts, almonds or |
|
other favorite nuts. They come packed with protein and fiber. |
|
|
Don’t confuse thirst with hunger. Keep a water bottle |
|
handy. |
|
|
Top off your fuel tank several times a day with |
|
snacks. You’ll feel energized and satisfied throughout the day. |
|
|
Variety, balance and moderation are important when |
|
eating snacks. |
