Handful of Almonds, Walnuts, Peanuts (unsalted), Pistachios (unsalted)
Nuts are easy to store and travel with. Good source of fiber, unsaturated (healthy fats), omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E and plant sterols. Even though nuts contain healthy fats they still have a lot of calories so should be eaten in moderation. Current guidelines suggest eating 1 to 2 ounces (or a small handful) of nuts each day.
Snacks Rich in Fiber
Women should eat about 25 grams of fiber per day, men 30 grams. High fiber diets can help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, reduce belly fat and prevent diabetes and colon cancer. High fiber, low calorie snacks include: air-popped popcorn, fresh fruits (with peel), whole grain crackers.
Flaxseed (actual seeds or ground up flaxseed, not the oil) contains a lot of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. We recommend sprinkling on yogurt, cereal, vegetables, salad.
