Healthy Snacks for Weight Loss

There is nothing wrong with snacking between meals if you do it according to some health rules. Here are some commandments you should obey when it comes to snacking so you can enjoy these tasty bites without feeling guilty.   Don't eat from the packages If you want to snack between meals, go ahead, but don't do it directly from the box or bag because it's hard to measure how much you're consuming. What you should do is take one or two handfuls of your favorite snack and eat it on a plate away from the kitchen, so you won't fall into temptations and you'll feel satisfied. Fill the gaps in your diets If you missed nuts at breakfast, then snack on some almonds. If you missed vegetables, then prepare some carrots. Since you are following a diet, try to complement it as much as you can during your snack times. Nothing more than 200 A healthy snack should not exceed 150 to 200 calories, especially if you are trying to lose weight. As a tip, we recommend nuts and dried fruits as good solutions that fit within this range. Snack and exercise If there's a precise time to snack, it's right before and after exercising. Try to eat a bit of protein or carbohydrates before going to the gym, as your muscles will benefit more from the exercise and you'll have much more energy. It goes without saying that you'll burn the calories you've eaten. Mix with water It's not that taking sips of water while snacking will make you lose weight, but it will fill you up faster without extra calories, so you won't feel like continuing to eat. Combine We tend to think that a snack should be just one thing: some crackers, some vegetables, just yogurt. This should change because if you balance all your meals, you should also balance your snacks. Combine a bit of bread, with dairy and protein to get energy and vitamins.   Here are some ideas for healthy snacks!   Caprese Salad Skewers  To see this recipe click here.
