Dieting can be a very difficult thing to do, especially for those of us that are constantly on the go. The idea of having to eat every few hours to keep up your metabolism and yet keep down the caloric intake is hard to get used to.
I know I don't have the time to eat as often as I should, and if I do, I don't have access to the right foods at all times.
iVillage posted some helpful ideas for snacks for those that are trying to keep the calories down while losing weight and eating healthy.
One recommendation was to have 8 ounces of nonfat yogurt with 1/2 cup of mixed berries. It may not sound like the best snack, but if has both the dairy and the sweetness of berries to cure that sugar craving.
Another suggestion is to have 2 slices diet whole wheat bread with 1 cup sliced raw or cooked veggies of choice and 1 ounce sliced nonfat cheese. This snack is under 200 calories and you get grains, dairy and vegetables.
Finally there was the idea of having 1 Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bar. Nature Valley's Chewy Trail Mix Bars will boost your energy levels in addition to being low-cal.
These are of course just a few suggestions to snacking that are easy/quick to make, healthy and perfect for those of us that think dieting has to be bland.
Snack away.
