Looking for snacks?

Sometimes it's hard to stay focused because you feel you are eating all the right foods for your meals but you are still hungry in between. I try to eat small meals throughout the day. Remember you have to eat to lose. Make breakfast your biggest meal of the day. You'll have all day to burn it off. I don't mean sausage, eggs, bacon & a triple stack of pancakes either. I meal oatmeal, egg whites, fruits, whole grain breads & things like that. The best way to stay on target is to arm yourself with the right foods for snacks. Always have a bottle of water within reach! Take and apple with you or baby carrots or protein bar. Always something you can easily tote with you and eat if hunger strikes and the only thing near by is the greasy food court. As much as you may want to indulge in the greasy non-nutritive foods, DON'T! It's not worth it and once you fill up on the juicy apple and a few sips of water it won't be so appealing and you'll be happy to go on about your business. If anyone has any tips for snacks please share. Fruit, nuts, veggies, protein or fiber bars are always a win but what else is there? It can get a little boring believe me that is why you have to be creative! It is easier to get more creative in your kitchen but not as easy for something to take on the go. So if you have great to-go snacks or at-home snacks let me know. Keep in mind they should be high in fiber & protein, low in sugar, salt & sodium, nutritious and as natural or organic as possible. That's a tall order to still taste good but they do exist. Avoid processed & go for more natural foods. If you are eating naturally roasted almonds you know that is what you are eating an almond, no fillers, no names you can't pronounce, no salt no sugar no nothing you can't go wrong with a natural food but beware very high in fat! A good fat but moderation is the key for everything!
