Do I have to give up snacking if I want to reach my fitness/health goals?
The answer is: “NO”
The secret? Planning ahead!
Here’s the reality:
🔸 You WILL sometimes crave a snack between meals.
🔸 It’s WAY EASIER to make a snack choice that supports your goals if you have something prepared to munch on.
So how do you balance it all?
Swap high-calorie, high-sugar, high-sodium, and processed snacks with options that are based on whole foods — and that are nutritious and filling. 🍎🥜
It’s not just about swapping your cookies for grapes… but also finding snacks that pack a nutrient punch.
A few ideas: seaweed strips, roasted chickpeas, old-fashioned (not super processed) jerky, and/or 1 ounce (28 grams) of high-quality dark chocolate.
FACT: It can take a while to change your snack habits, in part because your tastebuds may be used to ultra-processed foods. Hang in there. The payoffs in your energy and results are SO WORTH IT.
