A common problem you may encounter with a healthier diet is office snacks or more generally when you are away from home. In fact, many times, you end up not making any snacks in between, fearing not to spoil your diet. But this is also the biggest trap.
Do not forget that by making small and frequent meals, you give your body the energy it needs to continue working, and in fact productively! After all, skipping meals is associated with eating more at subsequent meals. Finally, it is important to know that by eating small and frequent meals, your body has better glycemic control, thus facilitating the maintenance of a healthy body weight.
Here you will find some healthy snacks for the office, to get ideas.
Nuts and dried fruits
It may be a very classic choice, but nuts in combination with dried fruits are a great choice. This combination has a good balance of the three macronutrients, namely, good fat and protein from nuts and carbohydrates from dried fruit. In addition, both foods are high in fiber which will help you not to starve until your next meal.
Yogurt combined with nuts, fruits and honey
You can combine nuts and dried fruits with yogurt to enrich your meal with protein. A low-fat yogurt (about 170g) has 17 grams of protein and only 140 calories. Thanks to protein, you will feel satiety and fullness faster.
Extra Tips: Add 1 banana, 10 almonds, 1 teaspoon honey and cinnamon for more energy and satiety. * If you have noticed that your dairy products cause bloating, you can use lactose free products.
Cottage cheese with fruits or vegetables and sunflower seeds
Cottage cheese is also low in calories and rich in protein. If you combine it with a fruit like berries, and add 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds, you have a complete snack. You can also combine it with carrot or cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes and sunflower seeds, for a savory but tasty choice.
Extra tip: Sunflower seeds are a nutritious snack because they are rich in minerals, trace elements, vitamins, protein and good fats. In fact, sunflower seeds protect us against oxidative stress and the accumulation of carcinogens thanks to their content of vitamin E.
Smoked salmon in whole grain crackers
For lovers of savory snacks, smoked salmon is an excellent nutritional choice, as it is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
Combine the smoked salmon with 100% whole grain crackers without added sugar, and you will notice that you will stay full for hours.
Avocado Toast
If you also love avocado, there is a way to include it in your snacks. Take a slice of wholemeal bread and make an avocado spread that you will add to your bread. You can enrich it with a little oregano, chia seeds and cherry tomatoes.
Avocado is high in fat and fiber, which makes it an excellent choice if combined with a source of “good” carbohydrates, and promises to fill you up.
Apple slices with peanut butter
Although apples are a filling and healthy choice on their own, combining them with peanut butter is an even better choice, as peanut butter is high in protein and will reduce your hunger. According to a study, adding peanut butter to your diet can help reduce hunger and maintain a healthy weight.
Extra Tip: Make sure you choose natural peanut butter that contains only peanuts and salt in the list of ingredients and pay special attention to the amount you add, as it is extremely nutritious but also rich in energy and calories.
Eating a snack high in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals can improve mental clarity, give you energy to meet the demands of work and at the same time help you maintain a healthy body weight.
It is very important to find the snacks that you like and that suit your tastes, as they will keep you energetic and full! The secret behind snacks in your diet is hidden in their preparation. It will be good to have the snacks of the next day ready, so that you do not forget or skip them.
