Snacking!! Oh H**K Yeah!

Snacking  often gets a bad reputation. Truth be told, snacking can actually serve a purpose in one's diet. Snacks are meant to bridge the gap between the main meals of the day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)

Healthy snacks can keep energy levels up during the day and keep you from binging or over indulging at the next meal. The best snacks contain a combination protein, fibre and healthy fat. The trick is to pack in nutrients without packing in a lot calories.
