Some great options for afternoon snacks are yogurt, bread, cheese and fruit. These foods are easy to take to school or work, making them a great option for a quick but nutritious meal.
This type of snack, in addition to being very nutritious, helps to stick to the diet because it does not let hunger arrive and the desire to eat uncontrollably, helping to lose weight. Fried snacks and cookies should be avoided, as well as sodas because they are not healthy and can increase cholesterol.

Snacks for those on a diet
The snack options for those on a diet should be guided by the nutritionist, because they depend on the diet being followed, but some examples are:
- 1 cup of unsweetened gelatin + 1 cup of plain yogurt - great for losing weight 1 cup of unsweetened yogurt + 1 spoon of oatmeal - great for those working out Celery juice with apple or carrot - great for detoxifying 1 cup of tea + toast with cottage cheese - great for weight loss Cereal bread with white cheese + 1 fruit juice - great for keeping in shape
Those who want to put on weight can add 1 tablespoon of powdered milk or honey to the vitamins and use fruits such as bananas or avocados, which provide more energy.
The secret to keeping fit is to respect the body's needs by offering lots of nutrients, but with few calories. However, one should not only take into account the calorie count of a food, because that way we run the risk of not ingesting a series of nutrients, making unhealthy exchanges. It’s better to have a glass of orange juice, which has approximately 120 calories, than to take 1 can of diet soda, which has only 30 calories, because orange juice also has vitamin C, which is important for the body’s defenses, while the soda has no nutrients, it just provides energy.
