WE HERE AT PREVENTION are major snackers, and we're not ashamed to admit it. Munching between meals had a less-than-stellar reputation when the focus was too much on weight loss. Luckily, that has changed. "I'm a big fan of snacking," says Jaclyn London, R.D., a nutrition consultant and podcast host and the author of Dressing on the Side (and Other Diet Myths Debunked). "It can be advantageous to fuel our schedules and keep up our energy levels with snacks that involve smaller portions of intentional, nutrient-dense combos."
Use London's smart snacking guidelines, customizing them to your lifestyle:
Eat a meal or snack every three to four hours. This schedule supports steady energy and helps you avoid being ravenous going into your next meal.
Make sure your snack contains the satiety trifecta: protein, fiber, and healthy fat. This nutritional equation stabilizes blood sugar to keep your energy and mood even and let you remain full.
Is your tummy rumbling? Start the better-for-you snacking journey with these perfectly curated bites.
