Healthy snacks will go a long way for your well-being Most of us feel the need of a little something now and then during a busy working day and many of us do end up quite frequently gorging on a samosa, sev puri, potato chips and all kind of salted dry snacks. You keep on munching something or the other while watching television at home. And you still don't understand how the inches are being added to your waist. But if you 'snack smart', it will save you from lots of worries and of course the added weight gain. Remember to snack with a purpose. Bingeing on fried snack is the worst thing you can do to yourself. It's important to have access to nutritious low-carb snack food so that if you get hungry between meals you won't reach for crackers and chips. Ideally, a low-carb snack should have protein, healthy fat, and some fiber (so the best thing would be to have some raw veggies with eggs). The problem is that most of the time we just buy snacks off the shelf and indulge in it. Easily available food could be one of your greatest enemy. If you are hungry in between meals, try this: - A bowl of fruits - A brown bread sandwich - A bowl of yogurt - Handful of nuts - A bowl of salad as per your choice of vegetables - Roasted peanuts or chana - A bowl of sprouts make a great snack too If you are still craving for your share of 'dry snacks' then do try the baked methi puris or something like it. And if you are having a sandwich. no point in having it loaded with butter and cheese. Be innovative while making a wrap (just make a whole wheat roti and stuff with vegetables or chicken). You can also make a rajma/chhole wrap for innovation.
