Are you snacking the wrong way?

In-between nibbles

Snacking during the day to keep yourself from feeling light-headed or fatigued is good, but you might be going about it the wrong way.

For example, how often do you snack and what do your snack portions look like?

Even if you're counting your calories precisely at every meal, you might be forgetting about all those little nibbles in-between. Mindless munching plays a huge role in unwanted weight gain.

How to snack the right way

First things first: if you're keeping track of what you eat during the day, do the same for your snacks. Write down everything you eat in a small notebook that you can carry with you wherever you go.

Or, if you're more tech savvy, use your cell phone to record your calories for each meal and every little snack in between.

Focus on healthy snacks - especially on fresh, raw, water-rich fruits and vegetables - and keep your portions small.
