Snacking


The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says snacking smartly can help you get valuable nutrients and help you avoid overeating.
Here are the academy's suggestions:
  • Keep a variety of healthy snacks at home, work and in your bag. Options may include: trail mix, whole-grain crackers, instant oatmeal, dried fruit, low-fat cheese and low-fat or fat-free yogurt.
  • Stick to small portions, rather than eating out of a large container.
  • Don't snack when you are stressed, bored or lonely. Snack only when you feel hungry.
