Choose whole foods, control portions, and stay hydrated. Read more...

  • Choose Whole Foods: Opt for snacks like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds to fuel your body with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.

  • Portion Control: Keep your snacks in moderation to avoid overeating. Use smaller containers or pre-portion your snacks.

  • Incorporate Protein: Add a protein source to your snack, such as yogurt, nuts, or hummus. Protein helps you feel full longer.

  • Limit Processed Snacks: Avoid sugary, salty, or highly processed snacks. Instead, go for whole food options like fresh fruit or homemade energy bars.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink water or herbal teas along with your snacks. Sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger.

  • Add Fiber: Include high-fiber snacks like whole-grain crackers, veggies, or fruit to keep digestion healthy and promote fullness.

  • Snack Mindfully: Eat slowly and pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues, making sure you're eating because you're hungry, not just out of habit.

  • Make it Balanced: Aim for a balance of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in your snacks to maintain energy and stabilize blood sugar levels.

  • Healthy Dips: Pair veggies with healthy dips like guacamole, hummus, or yogurt-based dressings for added flavor and nutrients.

  • Prepare Ahead: Plan and prepare your snacks ahead of time to prevent unhealthy last-minute choices.
