To help with your weight-loss goals, I have compiled a list of healthy snacks that will assist you in attaining those weight-loss goals.
Vegetables can be a great snack. Vegetables are full of minerals, fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Depending on how you serve them, they are naturally low in fat and can be low in calories. There are also a large variety of vegetables to choose from.
Nuts are a healthy snack that are full of nutrients and can help you feel full. However, nuts can be high in fat and calories, therefore, eat them in moderation.
Fruits are full of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals and should be part of a healthy balanced diet. However, they packed with sugar and can be high in calories. It is important to include them in your daily consumption but be aware of the calories.
Remember, eating an apple fritter is different than eating an apple.
Olives contain a variety of different nutrients and are great for you. Just don’t eat too many because they are packed with calories.
There are a large variety cheeses to choose from. They can be high in saturated fats and calories depending on the cheese. As a general rule, white cheeses tend to be lower in fat. That does not mean that you can’t enjoy cheese, just keep it in moderation.
Yogurt can be high in saturated fat unless you get the low-fat yogurt. Avoid when possible the fruity yogurts or the ones which come in different flavors. They tend to have preservatives and sugars you may not want to eat.
Avoid when possible the pre-packed juices because they are high in sugar and preservatives. You may want to mix fruit and vegetables for an even healthier and lower calorie drink.
I love wheat crackers. However, they can contain a lot of carbohydrates. They are better for you than white flour crackers.
Hard-boiled eggs can be a high-protein snack that can keep you full.
Ham can be an easy and quick high-protein snack. Eat roasted or boiled hams which tend to be leaner. Eat ham in moderation.
A friend of mine makes sandwiches without bread. He uses lettuce instead of bread and puts his meat in-between two pieces of lettuce. It seems to work well, especially if you use iceberg lettuce. Although it is not packed with nutrition like other darker greener lettuces, it is firm and contains very fewer calories.
As you can see, healthy snacks can contain lots of calories. Therfore, we still need to be pay attention to our portion sizes.
