Snacks are an important part of healthy nutrition. It is a small meal in between your main meals and believe me it is possible to lose weight while not giving it up.
If you choose healthy, whole-food options with a lot of protein and nutrients, snacks can be integral to weight loss. Some can even help keep you full throughout the day and limit your cravings for unhealthy foods.
I personally am an avid snack eater, I love it.
The inclusion of 1–2 snacks in your daily nutrition alleviates the potential digestive and metabolic overload caused by fewer heavier meals and might contribute to meet recommendations for food groups (e.g. fruits, dairy) and nutrients like fibre and vitamins. Making sure you choose the right snacks to include into your daily nutrition may be difficult as some snacks can be calorie heavy which can make it hard to maintain your daily calorie target.
