Zeer Better Buyer: A Snack To Remember
For some of you, snacking isn’t a handful of Lay’s during a Project Runway marathon - it’s a part of your continual effort toward a healthier and happier life.
As many dietitians will tell you, you should eat more frequently, not less frequently when trying to lose weight. By having several mini meals several times a day you can help manage your hunger and keep yourself from getting seconds and thirds at lunch and dinner.
In the Fitness Fans community, Patti S. and Or M. tackle the tough question of “What do I eat before working out?” Both recommend snacking throughout the day, but holding off right before a workout since eating before leaves new and undigested food in your stomach. Instead, rock your work out first, then eat a light and savory snack while you prepare your dinner — veggies and a light dip or a half turkey sandwich should do the trick. But, Valerie T. prefers munching Edamame on some with Kosher salt as a post workout reward.
What about those pesky chocolate cravings? Cara P. snacks it out with the chocolatey taste of Luna Nuts Over Chocolate which she claims stomp out a craving and fill her until the next meal. Meanwhile, you’ll find Weight Watchers champion Bill S. with a Vitalicious Deep Chocolate Vitatops stashed in his cycling jersey, a morning treat that easily turns into mock Brownie Sundae at night when topped with a little low fat ice cream.
Mom on the go, Tracey N. happily kicks hunger pain butt with Keebler’s Fudge Shoppe grasshopper Fudge Dipped Mint Cookies but what quick and healthy snack will keep your kids bellies happy? Ex-babysitter, Molly P. recommends giving toddlers Stonyfield Farm Banana, Vanilla Organic Yogurt, an instant favorite that will keep kids happy until dinner time. Hey, don’t deny yourself either, if you’re like Molly, you’ll get to sneak a taste, too.
