The power of snacks

General information

A healthy and nutritious diet plan supports eating five times a day, (breakfast, tithe, lunch, afternoon and dinner) and in particular, two meals and three snacks. Snacks play a key role in our daily nutrition and contribute to achieving our targets, which may be losing weight, gaining weight, enhancing the muscular system, reducing fat and so on.

Consequently, it's not enough to pay attention just to the main meals but also to intermittent snacks.

The right choice of snacks complements the intake of basic nutrients and mitigates hunger, so it's easier to limit eating a great amount of food during meals, which satisfies us and makes us feel full.

It's important to include snacks that contain proteins and the basic elements to have a variety of snacks during the day and a week to not get bored and to intake more nutrients.

I propose the following snacks, but of course, you're free to change them and also make

your combinations.
