Eating healthy is probably one of the hardest things that people struggle with...Not really because it's super difficult, but because it's just SO easy to mess up.
I'm sure that you know exactly what I mean?
All I'm saying is that I remember that when I was struggling with my weight loss that I had gotten it to where when I was at home and needed to cook a meal, I was good to go. I can whip up a healthy lasagna with whole grain pasta and ground turkey so good it'll be the only thing you want to eat for the rest of your life, but if I'm low on groceries and in need of a snack, or if I'm out and about and the hunger strikes...?
I have a tendency to eat about as healthy as a chubby kid would if he got a $100 gift card to a gourmet chocolate shop.
Not very healthy.
So, what I had to do was I had to learn to not just eat healthy, but to SNACK healthy too.
Luckily for you, I'd like to help you out by sharing with you a couple snacks that I've found to be real life savers.
First...Peanuts! Obviously, if you're allergic then this doesn't apply to you, but for everyone else, peanuts are high in healthy fats, low in carbs, and high in proteins which are pretty hard to find in non-legumes.
Plus, they're pretty cheap too, when compared to buying a bag of chips or something.
Another great snack food is Wasabi Peas. Never had them? Sound gross? I felt the same way when I heard of them, but then my friend got me to try them and they are AMAZING!
Basically, these crunchy snacks are exactly what they sound like...They're crunchy peas coated in a light coat of mild wasabi...They sound kind of weird but they're delicious.
These delicious snacks are high in fiber and high in other plant proteins as well...Plus they're delicious.
Another great snack food? Try All Bran (Or FiberOne or any other equivalent cereal)! Cereals like this are so chalk full of fiber that even a small bowl is usually enough to tide you over for at least a couple hours...Plus fiber is the one nutrient found most lacking in the average American diet.
Well, that about wraps up my suggestions...I don't want to write an essay here! But seriously, I really hope you try out at least one of these, because each one of these snack foods has been really helpful for me at least at one point along my weight loss journey.
