10 x snacks with 200 kcal!

One question I get asked a lot is what to eat for a snack. Somehow some people think that you can only eat "snack food" for snack, like fruit and nuts. But you can also eat normal, real clean food for snack, just make a smaller portion!

Eating snacks is important if you are trying to hit your fitness or weight loss results. When you eat regularly, every 3-4 hours, you keep your blood sugar levels stable and avoid the ravenous hunger which easily will lead to over-eating. It is also easier to hit your protein needs when you eat protein 4 or 5 times a day, instead of just 2 or 3 times a day.

A good snack is rich in protein, and includes healthy carbohydrates in moderation and some good quality fats as well. Stay away from sugar and refined carbs, since those will just make you more tired and sabotage your fat loss attempts.

I have collected for you 10 different snack options, which all have around 200 kcal, and are rich in protein. As you can see, you can get the same amount of calories and hit your daily macro needs with many food combinations!
