What are you snacking on? Depending on what you reach for in the afternoon, snacking can be beneficial to your health, metabolism and weight loss goals. Healthy snacks can also increase energy levels and get you thru the rest of your day at the office. However, snacking on the wrong things, say a bag of M&M's from the vending machine or a few Oreos (Danny!), can cause weight gain, lethargy and set you up for even more bad decisions when dinner time rolls around. Ideal snacks are low calorie, low fat and low sugar. Choose wisely!
Here are some suggestions:
*A piece of fruit, such as a banana, an apple, a bowl of berries...
Popcorn - without butter, duh
Edamame - packed with protein
Greek yogurt - option to add granola and/or fruit
Nut and cranberry mix - satisfies a sweet and salty tooth
*Spoon full of peanut butter - keeps you feeling full
*One of my favorites!
