Going Nuts,

Nuts are an excellent option for snacking. Packed with healthy fats,fiber and protein. Quantity is what you need to be aware of. 1 ounce of almonds, walnuts, peacans, or any other unsalted/roasted variety is great.

Nut butters are also a great addition to snacking. Amy's makes great "Kamut" or "Spelt" cakes, instead of rice cakes, and you can add a spread of peanut, or almond butter, and I have even tried tahini. It's filling, and again packed with fiber and protein which will satisfy more than plain rice cakes.

Healthy eating, and remember, it's all in the portion sizes where you will see any major difference if you are trying to lose weight.

Happy Snacking
