As well as why snacking could be good for you.
Why Is Healthy Snacking Important?
When it comes to cooking large, complicated meals after a long day at work most people would rather turn to their snack drawer or cupboard out of convenience.
This is because grazing and snacking throughout the day seem easier. But is this always the better option?
But, to snack or not to snack? That is the question.
The right snacks can keep you satisfied and provide you with the balance of nutrients that your body requires. Also, snacking can help to keep hunger at bay in the period between mealtimes and keep your energy levels balanced.
Many people choose to snack throughout the day, or limit themselves to only a few treats inbetween meals. It all comes down to two simple things, making sure you are getting enough calories and that you are eating an array of foods for nutrients. Snacking can be a vital when it comes to keeping your metabolism steady. We recommend having a small snack every 3-4 hours, and ensuring that you are following a well-balanced diet as well.
The ideal snack will combine convenience with nutrients, like our keto bars. They come in a variety of flavours and will leave you feeling satisfied, with only 2g net carb per serving.
What Snacks Can You Eat Whilst Practising The Keto Diet?
Snacking has a bad reputation, and we are here to set the record straight. Everything in life whether this is the food you eat or the exercise you do, it is all about being done in moderation and in a healthy and balanced way.
Therefore, you can snack until your heart's content as long as you are eating nutrient-dense food or eating the correct portion sizes for your body. Also, snacking helps stabilize blood sugar and can stop them from dropping too low in between meals. When there's a large surge of insulin released after a big meal or after a lot of carbohydrates, it can promote more fat storage than if that person ate smaller meals.
Knowing what the right snacks to eat and what works for you, is how you can make snacking a healthy habit.
Here are some easy snack ideas:
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Small handful of almonds, walnuts or pistachios.
- Meat and/or cheese roll-ups.
- Tuna (or any kind of meat) salad.
- Quick and convenient food (keto) bars
