Healthy Snacks Biography
Most of us love the occasional snack, but when you're sitting at your desk all day and your job involves little movement, sugary or salty foods always feel like the best source of energy.
Healthy and nutritional foods not only add that needed energy boost for the day, they're also delicious, says registered dietician Diana Steele of Eating For Energy in Vancouver.
"You should snack to fill in the gap of nutrition you're not getting in the day. If you're not getting calcium, have yogurt, and if you're not having enough protein, try edamame," she tells The Huffington Post Canada.
It sounds counterintuitive, but studies have shown that if you tend to live a healthy lifestyle by eating a good breakfast, lunch and dinner, you're twice as likely to eat snacks in general, according to the NPD Group. The study found that people with the healthiest diets consumed 36 per cent more snacks per year compared to an average consumer.
But let's face it, when you're at your office meeting, a plate of deliciously coloured doughnut are probably staring right at you, and they're hard to resist. Steele says when it comes to office treats, see if you can ask your manager to cater a variety for people who want to choose healthier foods. "In general, most people in offices would say they don't want to be exposed to high fat foods all the time," she says.
And if you're the type of person who goes shopping for healthier snacks but never ends up eating them, keep them visible at your desk, send yourself an email reminder to eat your snacks and plan ahead — if you want to eat pineapple, chop it up at home the night before, Steele says.
