Whatcha Eatin' Wednesday

Oops! It's Thursday!

This weeks post is going to be about healthy snacking. Snacks are an important part of weight loss because it curbs your appetite so that you don't get ravenous by mealtime and blow all your calories. You just need to make the right kinds of snack choices to give you the biggest bang for your calorie buck. Looking for a snack that has fiber or protein or both is a great option for feeling full. Here are some options for a filling but low calorie snack:

Carrots or celery with hummus
String cheese
Apple with Peanut/Almond butter
Pretzels dipped in yogurt
Fresh fruit with whipped cream (I like reddi whip)
light butter popcorn
Fiber One bar
yogurt topped with granola
1/2 c. frozen yogurt
fruit or green smoothie
Whole wheat toast with jam
healthy muffins (applesauce instead of oil)
Applesauce
Fruit Leather
Frozen grapes
Pickles
Clementines
Veggies with guacamole
handful of olives

What are your favorite snacks to get you through the day? Keep it up guys!
