Compliance with the diet is the key to a stable weight and health of internal organs. However, few people manage to eat in a balanced way. To maintain your figure and feel great, consider your options for snacking at work in advance.
The first step is to figure out what snacks should be at work. First, they are quick and easy to prepare. Secondly, nutritious. Thirdly, low calorie, low glycemic index to give, not take away energy.
Varieties of quick snacks
To eat well, you need to eat frequent small meals. Three full meals should be accompanied by two to three snacks.
The easiest way to maintain energy levels before lunch is to eat fresh fruits or vegetables 2-3 hours after breakfast. Fructose nourishes the brain, and fiber provides a feeling of fullness. In addition, such foods are well digested in the morning, while in the evening they can cause colic, bloating and flatulence.
More satisfying snack options include unsalted nuts and dried fruit. They are good at suppressing appetite in the long breaks between meals. But you should be careful - these foods are high in calories, so they need to be eaten in small portions.
For those who are not too hungry, you can simply drink green tea with honey or two slices of dark chocolate. Such a snack will have a positive effect both on performance and on the figure.
In addition, fermented milk products are an excellent quick snack that does not require cooking. Kefir, yogurt, cottage cheese - such food is perfectly digestible, does not cause drowsiness and improves digestion.
Snacks for those who like to cook
If you have a microwave and a toaster at work, you can prepare hot snacks on site. For example, after drying whole grain bread toast, put tomato slices, herbs and cream cheese on it, and then put the sandwich in the microwave for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
You can make a snack at home, but then it will be cold. Salads are considered one of the healthiest snacks. Here you can show your imagination by mixing Chinese cabbage or Iceberg salad with cherry tomatoes, strips of cucumber and colorful bell peppers, complementing the dish with allspice basil, parsley, cilantro, ginger and arugula.
Salad dressing is best prepared with olive oil. You can also use low-fat unsweetened yogurt or sour cream. But mayonnaise should be discarded. To prevent the salad from "stacking", it is recommended to take the dressing with you and pour over the vegetables just before use.
Snacks at work can be varied if you add honey and sour cream to cottage cheese, as well as herbs, bell peppers and other vegetables. This snack is perfect for those who want to lose weight.
