Low-calorie snacks that fill you up

Snacks can fit into a healthy eating plan but if you are trying to lose weight you want to make sure the calories fit within your daily budget. Pairing a protein or healthy-fat choice with a veggie, fruit, or whole grain is a great way to have variety and also keep you full longer. Because they are digested more slowly, protein and fat stay with you longer than carbs. This does the job to keep you satisfied until your next meal. Also, choosing healthy snacks instead of junk food punches up your nutrition for the day.
