What Makes A Good Snack?

Firstly , any normal meal can be broken down as a snack,just eaten in a smaller portion but for the sake of this post, let’s go with what is defined by the dictionary:

” A small amount of food eaten between meals”

As a template for a good snack, it should be based around a moderate-high protein intake (15-35g) meal mixed with either a small-moderate amount of carbs (15-35g) or small – moderate amount of fats (5-20g).

Adding a high protein snack to your diet can help fuel weight loss efforts and reducing cravings.*

Your snack option will typically fall between roughly 200-400 calories. This is however dependant on the individual and their personal requirements.

Here are examples of some snack choices that fit the bill:
Protein bars
Protein supplement with berries
Tin of Tuna & Carrot sticks
2-4 Boiled eggs
Smoked Salmon w/spinach
Low Fat/Fat Free Greek Yoghurt with berries
Cottage cheese w/peppers to dip

Also protein companies are chucking protein in everything at the moment, so you can pick up some decent options from them.
MyProtein & The Protein works are 2 companies that i think deliver good products.
