Everyone loves a snack!

Hungry between meals? Sometimes you may just be thirsty – try drinking some water or fruit juice before you head for the biscuits!

Remember that crisps and sweets are often low in  protein, and high in salt, sugar and fat. They may satisfy you for a while, but the options below are healthier and they will keep you feeling full for longer.

Eating a good breakfast and lunch will help to stop you feeling the need to snack.
