2. Healthy Food Choices: Dos and Don’ts of Snacking Late-night munching, gulping down the whole bag of baked chips and looking for another, expanding your stomach to take in countess glasses of soft drinks, keeping your mouth busy crunching cookies – A snack attack can happen anytime, anywhere and to anyone. There’s no denying that chocolate bars, cream-filled doughnuts, cheesy nachos, flavoured smoothies and French fries are just irresistible to almost all of us. Given the considerable amounts of trans fats, saturated fats, high fructose corn syrup and other not-so-healthy food chemicals stuffed in our favourite snacks, however, snacking has developed a bad reputation for itself for a long while. So, does that mean you should give up all your snacking habits? Well, there’s a better way out. Being smart about your snack choices can help make snacking work for you and your body. Here are some dos and don’ts that will tell you exactly how you can turn snacking into a healthy habit.

3. Don’t Create More Cravings Yes, cravings are hard to resist. But you don’t want to go out of control and yield to your cravings and munch and munch and munch until you drop. With high-carb snacks and high in sugar foods, it’s like the more you consume, the more you crave it. So, pay attention to what goes inside your mouth and keep your cravings in control.

4. Do Schedule Snack Time Establishing regular snack times is an imperative aspect of healthy snacking. You take a meal and the chances are you’re going to feel like snacking twice or more before your next meal. To make sure you don’t end up overeating every time you starve, plan a snack time between your meals. Not to mention, add snacks that are filling yet healthy rather than just stocking up on appetizing but unhealthy stuff.

5. Do Keep Calories Down Strategic snacking is mostly about keeping calories down. Keep your calorie count 150-200 calories and your snack will help you maintain your energy level, blood sugar and metabolism. Gluten free snacks like gluten free granola bars, Quinoa snack bars, and air-popped popcorns and frozen yoghurt are some low-calorie treats that let you enjoy your snaking breaks without worrying about your waist line and weight.

6. Do Have a Snack Bag of Nuts Dried fruits and nuts are definitely your go-to option when it comes to satisfying your hunger while keeping it all well and healthy. High in fibre, protein and heart-healthy fats, nuts make for a great treat. Make an individual bag of nuts, so you can take it your workplace or grab some when you’re on the go.

7. Don’t Stock Up On Snacks Believe us, keeping your favourite chocolate bars, whipped cream pudding, packaged cookies, candies and potato chips in your drawer or on your desk will only set you up overindulge. The more you see them, the more you crave and consume. Keeping your snack stuff at a distance will help you prevent over-eating. Every time you feel like snacking, you’ll have to get up and move around, which is a good thing for your energy level.
