PLAN AHEAD! You know you are going to be hungry during the day outside
of "meal time." This is often the time when we make the worst food
choices for ourselves, so PLAN AHEAD! If you have pre-prepared healthy
snacks waiting for you, you will make good food choices AND you can fill up
that hole in stomach guilt free. Small frequent meals are known to aid in weight loss, stabilize blood sugar, and increase your metabolism.

If you are trying to lose weight try taking a portion of what you would eat for breakfast and use
it as your mid morning snack. For example: Your typical breakfast might
be a bowl of cereal and a banana with peanut butter
on it. Save your banana and peanut butter for later as your mid morning
snack. The same can go for your lunch. If you are eating a salad with grilled chicken, whole grain bread, and a glass of milk, save your bread and milk for your afternoon snack. That way your snacks aren't
increasing your overall caloric intake you are just redistributing your calories
throughout your day.
