Snacking can make or break your fitness goals. A snack you may think is healthy, such as a granola bar or handful of trail mix, can have more calories, carbs, fats and sugars than you would think!! When trying to reach your fitness goals, it is important to snack throughout the day but the key is what you snack on! You want to avoid sugary items like candy, soda and processed foods and stick with lower calorie foods such as lean proteins, vegetables and a small serving of fats. Snacking isn’t grazing so you want to be sure you have a set snack prepared and when you are done, you are done. Grazing can lead you to adding countless calories to your day which in turn can jeopardize your goals. I suggest you prepare your snacks in advance so you can avoid grazing. Check out some of my favorite easy to prepare snacks. These all have 3 or less ingredients and are less than 150 calories each!
