This can lead to the consumption of way too many calories, lack of hunger at mealtime, and feelings of lethargy and drowsiness for the rest of the day. Another thing to consider is how many food groups are included in a snack.<\/li>\n<li>Aim to avoid added sugars or extra salty snacks as much as possible, as they don&#8217;t give you much bang for your buck.<\/li>\n<li>Snacks high in fiber are a great choice because they will be extra filling. When purchasing pre-packaged snacks, be mindful of serving size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>A well-rounded snack includes two or more food groups, ideally protein or fat paired with carbs or veggies.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sites.edb.utexas.edu\/fit\/..\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2018\/06\/file-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-800 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.edb.utexas.edu\/fit\/..\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2018\/06\/file-copy-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"Celery and peanut butter \" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sites.edb.utexas.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2018\/06\/file-copy-300x202.jpg 300w, http:\/\/sites.edb.utexas.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2018\/06\/file-copy.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Some examples of high-quality healthy snacks are:<a href=\"http:\/\/sites.edb.utexas.edu\/fit\/..\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2018\/06\/file-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-799 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.edb.utexas.edu\/fit\/..\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2018\/06\/file-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Greek yogurt with berries \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sites.edb.utexas.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2018\/06\/file-3-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/sites.edb.utexas.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2018\/06\/file-3.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"_TY9i _1DUY1 _14s5m\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">An apple and peanut or other nut-butter<\/li>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Carrots and celery with hummus<\/li>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Greek yogurt and berries<\/li>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Veggies and guacamole<\/li>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Celery, peanut butter, &amp; raisin boats<\/li>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Low-fat string cheese and whole wheat crackers or pretzels<\/li>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Nuts and seeds (without added salt)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>The most important thing to remember when snacking is to listen to your body; \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><em>determine how much you need to eat to feel satiated and <strong>only<\/strong> eat that much! <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On some days, your big meals seem to keep you just perfectly full.
