Sometimes you are too busy to prepare and eat healthy food. Eating healthy snacks when that happens is the answer. Let’s take a look.

1. Almond

Nuts are delicious healthy snack. And even though they are high in fat, you don’t need to avoid it if you’re trying to lose weight. One study found that people who chewed almonds thoroughly (up to 40 chews) felt full longer than those who chewed the same amount of peanuts. Plus, almonds provide fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

2. Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a complex carbohydrate, it means that oatmeal helps you fill your stomach without increasing your blood sugar. Plus, oatmeal is a good source of fiber and eating more fiber helps people lose weight and maintain it. To make it even better – keep one or two instant oatmeal packs without sweeteners on the table or make oats overnight in a jar.

3. Chocolate

Losing weight does not mean to stop eating foods that you like. Believe it or not, giving yourself a small reward might be the secret to losing weight. Do not blame yourself. Just enjoy a healthy breakfast tomorrow.

4. Yogurt

Eat snacks which add nutrients. Choose snacks that contain calcium and fiber – two nutrients that people often reduce. Yogurt with fruit contains calcium and fiber, plus proteins and probiotics that are healthy for the intestines. Choose plain yogurt and add fruit for sweetness and natural fiber. Yogurt with a flavor containing extra sugar and extra calories. Pure milk and low-fat plain yogurt are also healthy choices. Recent research on milk has denied the myth that fat-free milk is the healthiest.

Snacks can be really good for  diet when you try to lose weight. Remember, consideration for nutrient-dense snacks (fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals) and snacks will help you get the nutrients your body needs and make you full.
