in Food and Nutrition
I'm new to the world of health and nutrition and need help finding snacks. I don't like eating large meals as I generally will eat so much I feel like I'm going to die. I like to snack throughout the day. What are some easy to find snacks that are both healthy and taste good? The snacks I would normally choose would probably consume at least a third of my new calorie goal for the day.

    There are some of my go to's:
    cheese & grapes
    apple/banana & peanut butter (look into PB2 its low cal)
    yogurt and honey
    a small salad
    quest bar
    trail mix

    Those are all under 200 calories if you do the right portion sizes!

    Also try eating lots of protein and fiber in all your meals. It helps keep you fuller longer. I personally love "grazing" too. I eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day! It took trial and error to figure out how I best divided up my calories at each feeding ;)

    Thanks for sharing! Those snacks actually sound pretty good. I'll have to stock up at work which is where I snack the most.

    I am a grazer to a fault. I have to plan my food accordingly since I love to snack all day. Here is what I will eat

    carrots, grape tomatoes, almonds, apple w/almond or peanut butter, sunrise energy bars (sold at costco-I think they are one their brands), 100 cal bag of pop corn, mini baby bel cheese

    I love 100 cal wholly guacamole to-go! And the best part is that it tastes great with veggies and you can eat endless amount of veggies to feel full!

    I also will do 1 oz of whole almonds (about 23), sambra Classic hummus & veggies, an apple, low fat cottage cheese, plain fat free stonyfield organic greek yogurt with chia seeds and cinnamon and/or berries (however you like)

    I am loving jicama again, I forgot how tasty it is. It's sweet, but with a little bit of hummus it's an awesome salty/sweet combo.
    Beef jerky is a good one too.

    I'm a huge snacker! I just keep trying different things and adjusting my "meal" intake to accommodate my snacks!
