Everything, lol ,sorry 🙏❤️. I love pears 🍐 and nuts , like cashews or almonds and mixed selections. I heat them up in the microwave in an attractive bowl then eat them one at a time trying to go slow and enjoy them. I also found Atkins protein bars to taste good and be quite filking maybe with Tea or coffee. As the ap has us drinking more tea I have a favorite green jasmine orange fragrant tea that I put a little honey 🍯 in mmm re-energizes me in afternoons.
If I’m prepared it’s fruit, seaweed, baked flat breads etc. If not crisp, chocolate or whatever I feel like at the time. Some sort of sweet.
I first take a tea and usually the hunger subsides, which means it was not real. If I truly didn’t eat enough at the main meals I snack on cherry tomatoes, radishes, tangerine (super refreshing) or bananas (really filling and satisfying), or if I want a lot of calories some nut mix. Plain greek yogurt or skyr are also favorites of mine. The trick is to avoid sugar!
I personally snack fruits cuz that’s what the nutritionist told me i should eat. But it depends and it’s different for each person, and if u don’t wanna ask a nutritionist or stuff, ig just try to think: what do i need? What does my body need? But also btw i dont always snack fruits, sometimes I’ll snack a bread with avocado or some healthy cookies or idk just smth that i wanna eat but ik is healthy. I try to snack fruits everyday but if i want smth different I’ll just have that.
One of my favorite afternoon snacks is a Granny Smith apple with almond butter. Granny Smith’s have just enough sweet and tart for my flavor and they have less sugar than other fruits. Fiber in the peel helps slow down digestion to help me feel fuller longer. The almond butter has “good fat” and enough protein to get me through the afternoon slump.
I eat something about every 2 hours with my largest meal around 1pm. I eat a handful of nuts/seeds, lots of raw veggies, low sugar fruits, protein bars, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, and lean meats/cheese. I watch my carbs, sugar, fiber, protein and calorie in-take when deciding what and how much to eat of each thing.
Mostly fruit, sometimes carrots or tomatoes. My favourite are mixed nuts with raisins and cranberries (unsalted). I also noticed that when eating yoghurt with a nut mix, I have less snack cravings.
Well one of the most helpful things I have learned about nutrition is that you want high quality with high nutritional value, no pesticides or toxins and low sugar. I love almonds and tree nuts, and they are high in protein. Sometimes just those by themselves are kind of dry so I like to make my own trail mix. Dark cacao pieces with walnuts or almonds (or both) and dried cranberries is my favorite recipe. I also like to snack on fruits and veggies. Apple slices, add a tsp of water and squeeze a lime or lemon wedge in bag and keep cool to keep from turning, and I love dipping cucumbers in guacamole. Apples are high in fiber and nutrients, and cucumbers are great for cleansing plus the avocado is a good source of healthy fats that fuel your body and brain.
The best for me is to eat enough so I don’t have to snack, but when I have to, I eat almonds and sometimes, a fruit. Be cautious with the portions: 4-5 almonds is more than enough and for fruits, you don’t want to go on a sugar rush.
Biscuits, fruits and vegetables. I like watermelons, pineapple, bananas, oranges, apples, dates and pawpaw. For vegetables it’s mostly some forms of salads or just nibbling on cucumbers, carrots, etc.
