About Snacks
Snacks can either support or sabotage your nutrition goals depending on your choices. Mindful snacking with nutrient-dense options like nuts, fruit, or yogurt can help maintain energy and prevent overeating at meals. However, processed snacks like chips and candy are easy to overconsume and often provide empty calories. Understanding snack nutrition helps you make choices that satisfy cravings while supporting your health.

- ✓Pre-portion snacks to avoid overeating from the bag
- ✓Combine protein and fiber for more satisfying snacks
- ✓Air-popped popcorn is a low-calorie whole grain snack option
- ✓Read labels carefully - many "healthy" snacks are high in sugar
