Remember when I said, write a diary, use calendar reminders, write yourself love notes, change your phone background, or do whatever you can to remind yourself to create better food habits? For me it’s always going to be about the visuals. So I made myself a quick snack guide. I’ll share it below.

Normally I’d reach for something junky to satiate the black hole of my belly, but I really feel my snacking guide has helped me understand the impact of those moments.

For example I can reach for 8 walnuts for 185 calories if I’m feeling lazy or in a rush and risk the inevitable feeling of hunger 10 minutes later, or I can make a smoothie for 180-228 calories with a variety of good nutrients, oatmeal and chia seeds that will bulk up in my belly and keep my hunger at bay for hours.

Quick Snack Guide

Hopefully you can find the snack guide helpful, or recreate your own! At the end of the day it’s about choices, mind over matter, and the choice is yours.

A fan of snacking!
