Best Snacking Ever!

We know that snacking is part of a healthy diet. Three squares a day just doesn’t cut it for most of us, and it’s the long hours between meals that lead to diet disasters. With just a little bit of preparation, though, you can banish those desperate moments of feeding change into the nearest vending machine or pulling through the closest fast-food joint forever. Try these tips on for size, and snack your way to a healthier, happier you!

  • Keep snacks on hand at all times. Glenny’s Slim-1 Bars, 100 Calorie Brownies and Low Fat Soy Crisps are easy to grab and go, anytime, anywhere. Keep them in your glove box, your purse, your gym bag, your desk, your locker…wherever a craving might hit.
  • Have a glass of water. We’re often thirsty when we think we’re hungry. Was your last meal or snack less than 90 minutes ago? Do you feel tired, or maybe like a headache is coming on? These are all classic signs of dehydration…swig water regularly throughout the day to curb cravings and stay well-hydrated.
  • A snack should be, ideally, 100-300 calories, but how those calories are counted is entirely up to you. Have a wedge of low-fat cheese or a piece mozzarella string cheese along with your apple. Make a small cup of tomato juice and have some baby carrots on the side. Dunk your graham cracker into a bit of peanut butter. These combinations are all still perfectly snack-sized with the added bonus of enjoying two kinds of foods, which will also likely keep your belly happy and rumble-free longer. As always, happy snacking!
