HEALTY SNACKING
Science tells us that most people have difficulty achieving their nutrient recommendations, so making healthy snack choices can be a positive way to do this. Many foods and beverages consumed as snacks contain high calories, fat, and added sugars. It has been suggested that individuals do not compensate for their increased energy intake from snacking by decreasing their intake at other eating occasions. Consequently, consuming snacks may lead to weight gain.

HOW OTHERS ARE MANAGING HEALTHY SNACKING:
- If I’m feeling hungry between meals, I’ll have a cup of tea or water and wait to see if I was just thirsty instead of hungry. Many times I realize I was simply thirsty, not really hungry.
- Late night hunger pains can be annoying. If I get hit by them I drink at least 6 ounces of water and most times they disappear. It’s important to give your digestive system at least 12 hours without any food so it can reset itself for the next day. I also find I sleep better when I give my digestive system at least 3 hours of no food before bedtime.
- I like to go for a short walk when I hit the afternoon slump instead of a sugary snack.
- I think of snacks as a way to get even more good nutrients, so I try to reach for things like baby carrots or a piece of fruit to meet my goal for the day.
- I keep small reusable containers of snacks in my pantry and grab if I am heading out of the house. That way I know I have a good option if I get hungry while I’m out.
