7 habits of successful snackers
Are you snacking today? Are chips, dips, cookies, and candies consuming you? Need to get a grip? If so, check out these seven tricks for successful snacking.1. Create your own snacks. Don't buy the ready-made ones -- they're low in vitamins, nutrients, and protein and high in calories, fat, sugar, and sodium. While sports and protein bars might be an exception, it's best to craft your own snacks. Try crunchy apple slices or celery sticks with natural peanut butter. Mix up a colorful bowl of fresh fruit. Prepare bags of nuts and seeds and grab them when you're on the go.
2. Balance your snacks. The ideal slow-burn snack has carbohydrates, protein, and surprisingly, a bit of fat. Try a pear, a chunk of cheddar cheese, and some low-fat yogurt and you'll be set for a few hours.
