Feeling hungry? The 5 snacks that won’t ruin your diet!

picture of woman eating snacks to lose weight “Snacks are often associated with foods high in calories and fat while containing few nutrients,” says PIH Health Clinical Nutrition Manager, Cortney Kaller MDA RDN CNSC. “However, snacks are an important part of your overall diet when chosen correctly. When you're trying to lose weight, it's helpful if they are filling and satisfying without containing empty calories.” Cortney adds.

Here are 5 snacks that may help you feel fuller longer to avoid binging at your next meal.

  • Hard-Boiled Eggs - Eggs are an excellent source of protein to keep you feeling full.
  • Strawberries - At just 50 calories per cup, strawberries are a sweet and nutritious snack.
  • Air-Popped Popcorn - A small serving of popcorn is low-calorie, high-fiber, and more filling than chips.
  • Cucumbers - With a satisfying crunch, cucumbers are also hydrating and filling.
  • Low-Fat String Cheese - Full of protein and calcium, a small portion of cheese will satisfy hunger.
