Balanced for LIFE offers a Top Ten Smart Snacking Tip List, listed are the top 5:

  1. Stay energized with several snacks a day
  2. Focus on fiber and protein to help stay full longer
  3. Pretzels or baked chips are a great low-fat, low calorie snack
  4. Choose fruits, vegetables and salads, prepackaged and ready-to-eat
  5. It's unrealistic to give up sweet treats if you really enjoy them. Like anything else, eat them "smartly" and in moderation.
