List of Healthy 200 Calories Snack Foods with Protein, Sugar, Fat, Fiber Information


Snacking several times a day can be beneficial in controlling hunger, provided the snack are healthy ones. However, it is hard to get good information on snack foods that includes calories and the key nutrients for dieting. Choosing healthy snacks that have lots of fiber can postpone the hunger pangs that may lead to overindulgence on poor quality snacks. Healthy snack foods can also boost the nutrients and vitamins that may be missing from your main meals, when dieting or trying to lose weight. Controlling portion sizes and choosing the right combination of calories, protein, sugar, fat and fiber is the key to successful weight control. This applies for most diets, including the popular Paleo and Dukan Diets and to diets that have controlled portion sizes and short-term fasting.

Why is Snacking with the Right Snacks Good for you?

The biggest problem when dieting, especially during the moderation phase, when you are trying to stop those shed pounds returning, is hunger. Snacks can be your biggest enemy or your best friend. If you eat less you will be hungry more often, especially if you grab a snack to gain comfort from stress or feeling low of deprived.

The trick is to carefully choose the snacks that are beneficial and hide the 'bad' ones that are likely to do you damage. Grabbing some celery sticks and a low-cal cream cheese dip quells hunger pangs better than a bar of chocolate because the fiber in the celery takes longer to process in your stomach and keeps the hanger pangs at bay for longer. 

There is nothing basically wrong with a bite between meals, like all eating it depends on how much and what you eat. Surprisingly healthy snacking might be the missing ingredient you need will help you achieve your weight loss goals.

There is a lot of research that suggests that eating 5-6 smaller snack size meals is a better way to lose weight that eating regular meals. A comprehensive review of the obesity problem concluded that most people are overweight because they passively eat too many calories, because the food we eat is highly processed and stuffed with calories. It concluded that on average most people eat 300 calories more than they need. Reducing these excess calories is equivalent to cutting out one meal a day. This is why the trend towards intermittent fasting, either fasting for 2 days a week, and eating normal meals for 5 days (5:2 fasting diet) and 'skipping lunch' (intermittent daily fasts) have become so popular.

Having a range of healthy snacks available to 'kill the hunger pangs' is essential for all diets, including fasting periods.
