snacks

Your snacking habits have the power to either make or break your weight loss or healthy eating success.

I generally don’t recommend snacking regularly because snacking is often associated with poor food habits such as skipping meals and choosing packaged and convenience foods that are high in salt, fat and sugar and low in nutrition.

In saying that, snacking isn’t all bad, so as long as you’re eating properly throughout the day and are organised enough to ensure healthy food is on hand.
