Snack Smart

Increasing your exercise or starting an exercise program can often make us hungrier.  If you are tyring to lose weight or increase performance that can be frustrating.  Healthy and well-timed snacks are the key. 

Enjoy a carbohydrate–rich snack that offers up some protein within an hour before starting training or exercise and within 30 minutes after training or exercise (if lasts 1 hour).

Try a banana and a serving of string cheese, apple slices topped with nut butter, whole–grain cereal with skim milk, a bowl of hearty vegetable soup, or a Greek yogurt and blueberries.
