Tasty Foods to Snack on That Won’t Make You Fat

Modern dietary wisdom recommends snacking between meals. Yet snacking on the wrong foods adds calories without providing nourishment. What we need are tasty, portable treats that satisfy without fattening. 
 
What to Eat
There are so many healthy snacks that the answer to “What do I eat?” is “Eat what you like.” Ideas are abundant online, with selections listed by food group and calorie count. Snacking information is commonly posted for students, who need constant streams of energy and have irregular habits. 
 
You’ll find mention of fruit bars, dried apricots, popcorn cakes, celery with bean dip, pretzels dipped in mustard or chocolate syrup, baby carrots and cottage cheese, baked tortilla chips, frozen yogurt, spiced applesauce, animal crackers and dozens of others. There are brand-name snacks that get the nod, such as V8 100% Vegetable Juice, Fig Newtons and Del Monte Fruit Cups.

Drying foods at home provides much scope for munching. A dehydrator costs less than $200 and will dry slices of everything from bananas to beef.

Snacking Our Way to Health
Snacks help us to make all kinds of changes, such as losing weight, gaining weight, reducing fat or carbohydrates, and consuming vitamins and minerals. Packages of 100-calorie snacks take the edge off hunger and are beneficial to weight loss.

Fruit is good for a small burst of energy, and carbohydrates provide longer-lasting fuel. Protein snacks in the morning power up a whole day. Plan your snacks to fit your goals and your timetable, and prepare ahead.

Adopting a Vegetarian Diet

Adopting a vegetarian diet has become a popular choice for individuals looking to improve their health, particularly as heart disease and obesity rates continue to rise in many parts of the world.
