Snacking all day can cause an influx of unnecessary calories leading to weight gain, but snacking the right way can actually stop unhealthy cravings [1] and help you reach your weight-loss goals faster.
Try snacks like protein balls, cottage cheese, and hummus to satisfy a craving, curb hunger, and load up on satiating protein. You'll feel fuller longer and fuel muscles to keep you strong and energized in the gym. It's a win-win! These recipes will help you fill up without needing to reach for a bag of chips or candy midday.
