| Here are some healthy snacking tips
to share with your co-workers, students,
family and friends: |
| |
| 1. |
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. |
| 2. |
Pretzels or baked chips are
a great low-fat, low-calorie way
to satisfy the mid-day munchies. |
| 3. |
Choose fruits, vegetables
and salads, prepackaged and
ready-to-eat. They are high in
nutrients, crunchy, convenient
and great tasting. |
| 4. |
For a snack that is high in
protein and calcium, reach for a
carton of low-fat milk or
yogurt. |
| 5. |
It’s unrealistic to give up
sweet treats if you really enjoy
them. Like anything else, eat
them “wisely” and in moderation. |
| |
|
| 6. |
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. |
| 7. |
Go nuts. Choose a package of
peanuts, almonds or other
favorite nuts. They come packed
with protein and fiber. |
| 8. |
Don’t confuse thirst with
hunger. Keep a water bottle
handy. |
| 9. |
Top off your fuel tank
several times a day with snacks.
You’ll feel energized and
satisfied throughout the day. |
| 10. |
Variety, balance and
moderation are important when
eating snacks. |
