Snacks: Extra Nutritional Insurance

Snacking throughout the day is a good way to sneak extra calories and protein into your diet, particularly if you have lost your appetite or feel fatigued.

Tips for Snacking Smart

Think of snacks as small meals. Aim for snacks that are between 150 and 300 calories and provide a mix of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.

The key to snacking is having snacking foods ready that do not require much preparation or effort. To save time: cut up raw vegetables ahead of time so they are ready to eat; keep fruit in a bowl on the table or cut up in the refrigerator; or make a dozen hard-boiled eggs on Sunday for a grab-and-go, high-protein snack during the week. Your snacking goal should be nutrient-dense and enjoyable snacks!
