Ask Anytime Fitness

2 min read

Lately, my goal has been to eat healthier snacks during the day, since I’m a big fan of chips and candy bars. What can you recommend as alternatives?

We get asked this quite a bit, so we definitely have some favorites. Since March is National Nutrition Month, you’ll find that a lot of information is available to make better choices. If you want something similar to your candy bar, you could certainly go with a sports nutrition bar. The main difference is that the sports bars are a bit more balanced with additional protein and less fat. They also typically have more vitamins and minerals. As a result, they make for a better meal replacement than a traditional candy bar. If you want some “real foods,” which we recommend, check out this short list: Celery and carrots with low-fat dip, plain yogurt with granola and blueberries, whole grain crackers with hummus, cottage cheese with apple slices, trail mix with dried fruit and nuts, string cheese and a banana, half of a whole grain bagel with peanut butter, low-sodium beef jerky, rice cakes with lean ham or turkey, edamame (soybeans in the pod).
