(HealthDayNews) -- If your snack attacks are defeating your efforts to lose weight, try making healthier picks the next time the munchies sneak up on you, advises Acadia University in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Here are some snack tips:
- Plain, toasted cereals are good snacks, but granola-type cereals tend to be high in fat.
- Air-popped popcorn and pretzels are better choices than high-fat potato chips.
- Frozen yogurt tastes great and has much less fat than ice cream.
- Chocolate milk is a nutritious choice. It has all the goodness of white milk, and about the same amount of sugar as unsweetened fruit juice. So if you're craving chocolate, try chocolate milk instead of a chocolate bar.
