Dietician Priyanka's 7 Healthy Snacks to Control Food Cravings and Support Weight Loss | Bite And Diet

The most difficult thing for any of us to do when following a weight loss plan is controlling food cravings. No matter how rigorously you adhere to a plan, you will not achieve the desired results if you are unable to control your food cravings. Frequent snacking contributes to weight gain as well. This is the reason it's crucial to have some substantial and satiating snacks in between meals rather than constantly chowing down when you're hungry.

In order to manage food cravings, it's important to incorporate protein and good fat into your snacks. This will help you feel full for longer and maintain high energy levels.

1. Apple with  almond butter - Eating only fruits can leave you feeling hungry frequently. To prevent this, it's recommended to have 1 teaspoon of almond butter or peanut butter along with fruits like apple.



2. Sliced carrot or cucumber with hummus - Hummus is a protein- and healthy fat-rich dip made from chickpeas and sesame seeds. Pairing hummus with carrot or cucumber can help you feel full for longer.



3. One glass of milk - What could be a better source of protein, calcium and magnesium than milk? You can drink one glass of milk at any time of day.



4. Mixed green salad with hard boiled eggs - This is the ideal option for those seeking more substantial and fulfilling snacks. All you need to do is take two hard-boiled eggs and add tomatoes, onions, salt and spices of your choice



5. Cabbage or lettuce wrap with cheese - It is quite simple to make. This is made exactly like a cheese sandwich, but you'll use lettuce or lightly cooked cabbage leaves in place of the bread.



6. Roasted chickpeas - Roasted chick peas or bhuna Channa makes for a satisfying snack. Not only is it flavorful and spicy, but it is also packed with protein, calcium and fiber. Enjoy it with a cup of tea in the evening.



7. Trail mix -  For creating this trail mix, combine dried figs, mix seeds, dried dates, black raisins, and walnuts with puffed rice or murmura. You can enjoy 1-2 bowls of this trail mix throughout the day whenever you're feeling hungry. It is a low-calorie snack that is packed with fiber, protein, iron, and healthy fats.
