Yes you can snack (yay)... But not on potato chips (boo)

Healthy snacking keeps your metabolism rocking throughout the da

y and helps prevent over eating at meal time.

Choose fibrous snacks with a good balance of fats to proteins to carbs.

Here are some other things to keep in mind.

• Keep your snacks under 200 calories.
• Drink water before and after snacking...this will keep you feeling full longer.
• Snack in between meals making sure not to go over your daily caloric intake.
• Don't make your snack full of sugar, this will cause your blood sugar to spike and plummet making you hungry again.

Good choices for snacks include:

• Apples and almond butter
• Carrot and celery sticks with peanut butter
• 2 rice cakes with hummus and an avocado slice
• 2 All natural turkey slices with low fat cheese rolls
• A yogurt spinach papaya smoothie (trust me)

Wait an hour after you snack and then come to Richmond Balance for a calorie torching barre class. You'll love it!!

Have a healthy and balanced day!!
