Snacking Strategies

1. Listen to your body- Snack when you feel hungry.

2. Keep snacks handy- Always be prepared by keeping a stash of pre-planned snacks on hand in your backpack.

3. Moderation- Eat enough but not too much. It's not a meal...

4. Don't forget the protein- Incorporating some protein snacks helps you feel full longer. Try cheese, low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese.

5. Avoid simple carbohydrates (sugars)- Candy bars and sodas.

6. Eat complex carbohydrates (starches)- Whole-grain breads or cereals.
