TOP 10 Healthiest SNACKS YOU CAN JUST KEEP ON EATING

YOU CAN JUSTKEEP ON EATING

- 

Your body needs food - its fuel - in moderate doses throughout the day so it always has nutrients available. Having four or five 'mini-meals' daily helps most people prevent cravings and ultimately achieve and maintain healthy weight. The choice of a healthy snack involves - variety, balance, and moderation. Try to limit the snack calories to 100 to 200 calories.

“Try thinking of snacks as foods eaten between meals rather than as treats or rewards,”

Suggests Barbara Whedon, R.D., a dietitian and nutrition counselor at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.

Big Benefits From Grazing

Researchers have only recently begun investigating the possible health benefits of the small-meals-plus-snacks style of eating.

Here is an example of what grazing can do for you.

Snacking Sends Pounds Packing.

Women who want to lose weight often skip breakfast as a way to lower their calorie intakes. Studies have shown that this practice does more than good. Not eating your morning meal actually makes you more likely to compensate for the missing calories – and then some – by over-eating later in the day. On the other hand, eating small meals and snacks more frequently helps you to manage your appetite better, so you never get too hungry.

Snacking fights fatigue

Grazing can also keep your metabolism, or calorie-burning mechanism, running high. Your body uses calories when you eat and digest food. By consuming smaller amounts of food more frequently, you can end up burning calories very efficiently. You’ll be less likely to gain weight, even though it may seem like you’re eating more than you did before.
