Quick and Healthy Snack Ideas

Everyone is talking about eating healthy and getting in 5 to 6 small meals a day.  Are you having trouble figuring out what to eat?  Do you wish it could just be a little easier?  Well I have put together a short list of some quick and healthy snacks to get you through the day.

I eat three main meals and two snacks during the day.  For me the afternoon snack is the most important.  By two or three o’clock I have already been up for a long time, put in more than a days worth of work and I feel my energy starting to dwindle.

This is such an important part of weight loss and for a lot of people one of the missing links.  They skip this most important snack and wind up starving at dinner time and wonder why they can’t stay on their healthy program.

DON’T EVER LET YOURSELF GET TOO HUNGRY.  This will set you up for a big problem, OVEREATING. Take the time to prepare your meals and snacks so you are prepared.

Now of course we are all busy and running from one thing to the next, so another tip is to keep quick and healthy snacks in your car or purse so you don’t find yourself in the Drive Thru line ordering a Biggie or Grande.
