What Is The Best Thing To Snack On When You Are Dieting ?
Protein is good for a snack if it is very lean, because it gives you a feeling of fullness and keeps your blood sugar steady which curbs hunger cravings. Sugary snacks alone like fruit can create hunger cravings by causing your blood sugar level to first spike and then crash, leaving you tired, cranky and hungry. Raw vegetables don’t create sugar spikes but are not very satisfying by themselves. Things I’ve used: No-fat roast chicken or turkey breast from the deli No-fat roast beef or ham from the deli Skim-milk cheese (if you can stand it, I think it’s yuck) No-fat yogurt Remember to add your snack’s calories to your total, but because it’s good lean protein it isn’t bad for you, and doesn’t really have too many calories.
