You asked, she answered. BLR Malibu Program Director Micaela Gruber answers your questions for health & fitness.

Question 1: What is a good snack to eat?

We promote paired snacking at BLR. A healthy snack is pairing carbohydrates with proteins. Keep portion control in mind. Think of snacks as mini meals that contribute nutrient rich foods. Snack calories can fit into your meal plan without over-spending your daily calories. Snack only when you're hungry —skip the urge to snack when you are bored, frustrated, or stressed. If you can, plan and portion your snacks ahead of time! Keep a variety of nutritious ready-to-eat foods on hand; for example, whole grain crackers and low fat cheese.
