Lean ready-to-eat snacks?
-
Many people immediately reach for ready-to-eat snacks once they understand that there is nothing wrong with healthy snacks. That's understandable, because those granola bars and low-fat diet shakes are really easy, and there is a lot that can't be wrong with it, right? Well - unfortunately it is. The problem with many of these types of artificially slimmed products is that your body cannot handle them properly.

What am I using?
-
Fortunately, even without diet products, there are still plenty of options left if you want to snack on low calories. Fruits and vegetables are an important category. Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and celery are all delicious to chew, and apples and forest fruits, for example, are great for those with a sweet tooth.

Dried fruits are higher in sugar, but can also work well in small quantities. Low-fat dairy, cold cuts, and eggs quickly add some protein to your snack. Nuts and seeds are extremely healthy, but they provide a bit more calories because of the fats. The same goes for avocado: very healthy, but also very high in calories. Take this into account for the rest of your calorie intake that day.

Finally, dark chocolate is a good option if you fancy a not too bad indulgence. Cocoa contains many healthy substances, and the purer the chocolate, the better. Chocolate contains, just like the avocado, nuts and seeds, some calories, but when you take extra dark chocolate you don't eat too much of it because of the bitter taste.
