Introduction
Tips for Snacks That Satisfy
- Choose high-fiber foods. Foods that are rich in fiber keep you feeling full longer than other foods. Items like fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains make great snacks.
- Incorporate protein. Protein is another nutrient that can help you feel satisfied between meals. Greek yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, and nut butter are all good sources of protein.
- Avoid added sugars. Snacks that are high in added sugars may give you an initial boost of energy, but they can ultimately leave you feeling sluggish. Try to avoid snacks that are loaded with added sugars.
