Pick the right snacks

Good snacks are a dieter’s best friend. Certain kinds of foods, such as those rich in iron or high in complex carbohydrates, keep your energy up and hunger pangs at bay so you’re less likely to pig out or make poorly thought-out choices at your next meal. Plus, when you’re fuelled up you’re more apt to remain stoked for that after-work spin class. Unfortunately, not all snacks are created equal. Fat-heavy, nutrient-light snacks will throw your diet off, so trade these familiar baddies for one of our healthy goodies the next time you need a little somethin’-somethin’.
