Why Snacking is Important for Weight Maintenance

Nutrient Intake

Small snacks are a chance to up your nutrient intake. Add some fruits, nuts, or whole grains to your snacking routine, and you've got yourself a healthier lifestyle, my friend!

Sugar Alert

Be cautious of snacks that masquerade as healthy but are loaded with sugar. Always read the label; if sugar is one of the top ingredients, it's a no-go.
