🌟 SNACKING SUCCESS TIPS

Choose protein-rich snacks to boost satiety, preserve muscle mass, and increase metabolic rate.

Sometimes thirst masquerades as hunger. Drink water first, then wait 10 minutes before snacking.
πŸ“ Portion Control
Pre-portion your snacks to avoid mindless overeating. Use small bowls and measuring tools.
🍎 Nutrient Dense
Choose snacks that provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber rather than empty calories from processed foods.

Eat your snack slowly and without distractions to improve satisfaction and prevent overeating.
