The fast food has infiltrated our lives. The serious daily schedule often does not allow us to eat at the family table, not only at midday, nor at night, so the traditional three main meals of the day be replaced by an intermediate, lower. But that does not necessarily mean that there are healthy food.
In contrast, between meals, they include healthy options, can help in more controlled caloric intake, diminishing the unpleasant feeling of hunger that inevitably develops which stays hungry all day. Moreover, a properly selected and rich in nutrients, healthy snack food can contribute to an overall balanced diet to lose weight.
To do this requires some planning, so that one does not fall easily into the trap of “calorie bomb”, i.e snacks usually provide calories but few nutrients.
Good choices for healthy snack food is bread (bun Thessaloniki, bread sticks, bread for toast, nuts, small sticks, etc.), preferably wholegrain, or plain low-fat cheese (10-20% fat) and turkey stew for those want ham.The fruits and vegetables (steamed, grilled, raw in salads) are also very good choices, while dressing prefer mustard or mayonnaise with low fat.
Other good choices are dried apricots, prunes, cereal bars and rice, unsweetened cereal biscuits (these are foods that can replace the sweet face and longing for a sweet). Other foods that can also serve as substitutes for sweets are fruit jellies, creams, rice pudding, ice cream with low fat. Such food is good always for someone at home and / or office.
An important parameter for this type of fast food is the time devoted to it. It is time to find someone to enjoy it instead of eating ‘leg’, because the hasty meal is not only poor absorption of food and therefore the likelihood of indigestion, but there is a risk of over-consumption, because the stomach can not keep to send the brain the message of satiety hunger.
