Snacking refers to the intake of small food items for munching
other than your main meals. Snacks typically consist of smaller food portions distributed between meals like nuts, protein bars, etc.
While research on whether snacking helps in weight loss is mixed, some evidence suggests that increasing your meal frequency through snacking may help manage hunger and improve blood sugar regulation others suggest it increases weight.
Well, in our opinion having some snacks in between doesn’t harm, if taken in a controlled quantity.
1) Mixed nuts
Nuts are an ideal nutritious snack, providing the perfect balance of healthy fats, protein, and fiber.
Studies also suggest that despite their higher calorie and fat content, eating nuts in moderation may help you lose weight.
2) Red bell pepper with guacamole
The combo of red bell peppers and guac gives you plenty of nutrients that help keep you feeling full for hours.
3) Plain Greek yogurt and berries
This makes a delicious, nutrient-dense snack.
Greek yogurt is high in protein, and berries are one of the best sources of antioxidants
4) Apple slices with peanut butter
Apples and peanut butter are a match made in heaven — both nutritionally and flavor-wise.
5) Cottage cheese and fruit
Cottage cheese is high in filling protein, boasting 24 grams in just 1 cup.
Pairing cottage cheese with fruit complements the cheese’s protein and fat content with the fruit’s fiber, resulting in a sweet, creamy, and filling snack.
