Snacks often get a bad reputation because most people choose packaged snacks out of convenience.
Additionally, it's easy to snack out of boredom and stress, resulting in mindless grazing throughout the work day (or evening).
But if you choose your foods wisely (ex. planning ahead), snacking can give you energy to thrive during the day. A snack between meals can also help you maintain stable blood sugar levels for more consistent energy in the afternoon, decrease hunger and reduce the risk of overeating at your next meal.
