1. Trail Mix: Make your own by combining your favorite nuts and seeds with a little bit of dried fruit. Portion out into miniature zip lock baggies and keep some in your desk, car, gym bag, or purse.
  2. Protein Bar: Nothing beats the convenience of a bar when you’re on the run and forgot to eat breakfast or pack a lunch. Watch out for the fat and sugar content. Look for higher protein grams than sugars and preferably more than 4 grams of fiber.
  3. Breadless Sandwich: Roll up some mozzarella cheese and turkey slices with romaine lettuce. Many delis now have low and no sodium turkey. The protein/fat combination satiates appetite for a long time.
  4. Hard Boiled Eggs: Nature’s perfect protein with loads of brain healthy choline, DHA and omega 3 fatty acids. Eat the whole egg.
  5. Greek Yogurt: High in protein, calcium and probiotics for gut health. Watch out for the sugar content of flavored varieties. Go for plain and sweeten with stevia or fresh fruit.Keeping a well stocked arsenal against hunger is key to weight control. Don’t get caught feeling ravenous in an environment full of tempting junk foods. Planning and preparation before you start your day or even the night before will boost your adherence to a healthy eating regimen.
