Snacking....Good or Bad??

Snacking is a great idea! In fact, we should have two snacks a day.  It helps keep our metabolism going and if snacking is done properly, we are more likely to not have cravings where our eyes are bigger than our stomachs.
Snacks should be around 250 calories and should be a mixture of protein and whole grains and is even better if it contains a fruit or veggie.  In my apartment, my roommates and I have what we call wet snacks and dry snacks.  Each of us get two ziploc baggies, one wet snack and one dry snack.
Wet snacks contain: four baby carrots, two cucumber slices, six grapes, and three cheese cubes.
Dry snacks contain any assortment of the following:  four almonds, handful of trail mix (nuts, raisins, etc.), 1 chocolate pretzel, 1 yogurt pretzel, handful of cereal, handful of crackers, granola, etc.
We always have a mini can of peaches with our dry snack as well.
Other good examples of snacks
Real yogurt, not gogurt :)
String cheese
Nature Valley granola bars
Apple and peanut butter
Smallest size of Jamba Juice

I want each of you to try and implement the wet snack! I have very few clients who have yet reached the needed amount of fruits and veggies in a day! Let me see who can do it this week!  Let me know what you try out!  Try and go as natural as possible. The more processed a food is, the more they pack in.
