in Health and Weight Loss
I just started this dieting thing and logging what I eat. So far I eat not so good things. I thought I was doing good, but I am a big snacker and need some ideas on good healthy snacks to have at my desk at work. Please help me with any suggestions. I am also terrible at portion sizes.

Thanks!

    Weigh and measure everything and pre bag your snacks. Berries, Greek yogurt, string cheese, apples and hard boiled eggs are all good snacks.

    Some of my go-to snacks are: nuts, yogurt or Greek yogurt, string cheese, carrots & hummus, apples & peanut butter, beef jerky or turkey jerky, protein or granola bars, hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese with fruit or tomatoes

    I like very dark chocolate (70-80%), frozen bananas dipped in dark chocolate, nuts (be careful with those, though), and protein shakes :3

    Seconding those who said greek yogurt and hummus. I like to dip the petite carrots in the roasted pine nut hummus. Very tasty! And a simple apple or a handful of berries will do just fine.

    I recently ordered Nature Box, a company who ships healthy snacks to your home (I ordered the $20 a month option). I liked everything in my box. They have a lot of different options for different palates.
    Also stick to the suggested serving size, of whatever you decide to eat.

    Celery is the best, I like to cut a bunch up and have it ready any time i want a snack-- also good with almond butter or cottage cheese.

    You can also make a nice savory dip with greek yogurt, I add different spices and brewers yeast-- I like to measure out how much dip ahead of time to make sure to watch my portions.

    When I'm ambitious, I make 100 calorie energy logs. Made with oats and peanut butter and flax and protein powder. As healthy of quick, portable snack as I can make, honestly. But I also just eat nuts and/or fruit as a snack. Or cottage cheese. So I think it depends on what you're looking for in a 'snack.'
