Snacking helps you control your blood sugar and your hunger which in turn prevents craving-driven binges and makes it easier to control your portion sizes. The key to making this work is choosing the RIGHT SNACKS. Here are some of the best. 

1. Kashi Chewy Granola Bars - They're made with real nuts and whole grains and they offer a low calorie intake for the amount of fiber and protein you get in return. 

2. Frozen Peas And Corn - Celery sticks can drive a lot of people away from snacking on veggies but try grabbing half a cup of these frozen treats. They're a bit sweet and refreshing at the same time and have the right nutritional content to satisfy you till the next meal. 

3. Plain Greek Yogurt - Stay away from the high-sugar and syrupy flavored varieties. Instead grab plain greek yogurt with no fat, low calories and plenty of protein. If you need to sweeten it up try adding fresh fruit or a little bit of honey. 

4. Fancy Up Your Apple - We all know what they say about an apple a day but they also help with weight loss. It's easy to get bored of eating an apple whole so try chopping it up and mixing it with walnuts or a spoon of real maple syrup. 

5. Oatmeal - Oatmeal is more filling than dry cereal and offers the same amount of calories and fiber. A great way to start your day or the perfect snack to bring with you to the office.
