Top breakfast: carrot and ginger donuts
Snacking between meals is one of the main
enemies
when it comes to taking care of the diet.
In the period between one meal and another,
hunger
and
boredom
collude so that we betray our healthy diet with some
poorly nutritious snack.
This habit has also exploded with
teleworking
.
Emilia Cancer,
member of
the Management Committee of the Nutrition Area
of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) notes that "one of the problems of working from home is falling into
snacking
and doing it frequently translates into
dietary transgressions
that will have undesirable consequences".
Snack between meals: how to avoid uncontrolled temptation
One way to keep gluttony in check is
planning
.
"The organization will reduce uncontrolled snacking between meals," says Cancer, "in addition, we will not cook more food than we need and, with it, we will spend less.
It is best to have
three main meals
: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
And, when between two meals more than
four or five hours are going to pass,
have a snack, but also plan to reduce, mainly, the consumption of saturated fats, refined sugars and salt.
Mini vegetables, healthy snacks that will win you over
To maintain weight it is not strictly necessary
to give up snacking
between meals, but you do have to opt for
nutritious
snacks that provide benefits to our body and not just empty calories.
Healthy snacks usually have as essential pieces
fruits
,
natural yogurt
or, perhaps, a whole wheat toast accompanied by a topping.
Now the ones claiming their reign are
vegetables
in
a mini version
.
A way to snack on something tasty and very healthy.
A very
realfooder
appetizer , that concept that has swept through to become a lifestyle.
The so-called
baby vegetables
offer many options for all tastes.
And they gain ground in the world of
horticulture
thanks to their boom.
Cherry tomatoes
, mini cucumbers, reduced-size aubergines, small peppers, tiny
carrots
... They seem like toys, but these foods are an exquisite reality.
How to include mini vegetables to snack between meals
The easiest option is to consume
them alone
, of course.
Or resort to a classic
mix of pickles
.
But there is also room for more creative recipes where you can get the most out of them.
For example, a
cheese toast
with
tomatoes and arugula.
Carrots
and
eggplants
are
great to accompany a
hummus
.
The
cucumber
gains a lot of flavor if you spread it with cream cheese.
And the
pepper
pairs perfectly with some preserves such as anchovies or sardines in extra virgin olive oil.
In addition, thanks to their small size, they are perfect to take with you and
satisfy your appetite
anytime, anywhere.
