Many people will be using the new year as their motivation to get in shape and take control of their eating habits. For those who will be entering caloric deficits, one of the hardest challenges to overcome is dealing with a rumbling stomach in need of food. The good news is, there are plenty of delicious snacks to eat when you’re on a diet or if you’re looking for a healthy alternative.
Nuts
Nuts are the perfect things to snack on since they’re excellent sources of fiber, healthy fats, and protein. There’s also a wide variety of nuts out there, so you can continue to keep your taste buds refreshed. If you’re looking to take your snack game a step further, try making a healthy trail mix that incorporates nuts and other tasty, healthy ingredients.
Protein Bars
Another delicious snack to eat when you’re on a diet is a protein bar, and there’s no shortage of brands and flavors out there for you to try. Some of the best brands include Pure Protein, Clif Builder and Quest which not only are low in calories but also provide plenty of protein to keep you full and help you pack on some muscle.
Beef Jerky
Beef jerky is awesome because it has plenty of protein and lasts forever. However, to ensure your snack remains within the restrictions of your diet, you need to make sure the jerky you purchase doesn’t have too much sodium (fewer than 300mg per serving) or sugar.
Ice Cream
Yes! You’re reading this right! Believe it or not, there are many options out there for ice cream that contains fewer calories than other delectable scoops. Some of the best brands for “healthy” ice cream include Halo Top, Yasso, and NadaMoo, which you can usually find at your local grocery store.
This list is just the tip of the iceberg for all the different healthy snacks you can resort to when you’re trying to fight off hunger and looking to fulfill your sweet tooth while obtaining a healthy physique.
