Sometimes snacking between meals is unavoidable, and snacking is totally okay as long as you’re eating the right types of foods. Unfortunately, when we snack, we tend to grab whatever is in eye-sight, which is usually chips or cookies. It’s easier to stick to your diet when you have these foods stocked in your fridge.
Whole-Wheat Tortillas
Most of the carbs in whole-wheat tortillas are complex carbs, so they won’t spike your blood sugar. Top the tortillas with low-fat shredded cheese or bananas and peanut butter, for something a bit sweeter.
Eggs
Eggs are packed with protein and they’re also low in calories. Make sure you always have a dozen eggs stocked in your fridge, so next time you need a filling snack or quick meal, they’re ready to go.
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is full of calories, but when eaten in moderation, it’s really nutritious. Put some peanut butter on whole-grain pitas or celery stalks.
Almonds
Almonds are a great alternative to greasy snacks like chips or crackers and they taste amazing in smoothies, cereals, and yogurts.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese has casein, a protein that helps keep you feeling full for longer. Try dipping fruits and vegetables in cottage cheese or a low-calorie snack.
