Be Sure to Snack
It's official: Snacking is good -- at least, according to the Mayo Clinic, one of the country's top medical facilities. In an article on their Website, the clinic explains the pluses of indulging in mini-meals, including binge and portion control and the absorption of extra energy and nutrients. Of course, they also stress the importance of choosing healthy snacks; suggestions include low-fat whole-grain crackers, pretzels and crisp breads for extra energy; fruits and veggies to help feel full without empty calories; small quantities of nuts and seeds for protein and to keep you feeling full longer; and low-fat, low-sugar dairy products for their vitamins and protein. The site also has a few healthy recipes and links to more in-depth articles. Get more info.
