Philosophy of snacking:
Snacks are super important in your plan as they play many roles:
1. Nutrient Quality
Snacks are a great opportunity to get some more quality into your diet outside of main meals, this becomes even more important when overall calorie intake is reduced.
2. High Protein
Depending on your protein goal, snack windows also provide a good opportunity to get some extra protein to ensure you hit your daily target.
3. Satiety
Depending on what an when we snack will affect our hunger levels throughout the day, keeping on top of this is super important for managing a sustainable diet.
4. Preference
Remember the ‘80:20 rule’ when it comes to diet sustainability. This means while we want around 80% of our diet to be providing high quality nutrition, it’s important to have the flexibility to include some ‘junk’ or ‘preference’ foods when we need to feel sane!
Having the scope to include a variety of difference snack types allows us to be fluid with our choices. Some days it may lean more towards high protein, nutritious and filling options, some days a little more towards ‘preference’.
However ensuring you’re always sticking within your allotted calorie target for snacks will still keep you on track.
