Doctors and dieticians say it is important to snack during the day, between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner.

The important thing is that the snacks are not abundant and are healthy. In this way there are five meals to be eaten during the day: breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack and dinner.

Snacks: their importance in your daily diet

You may be wondering why the two snacks take on all this importance in the daily diet.

Know that first of all they speed up the metabolism because our body burns calories faster if it is stimulated several times during the day. They also avoid bingeing at lunch or dinner.

Finally, if you fast for too long, you end up eating more food than you need. This is why paradoxically, the more times you eat during the day the more you lose weight (or keep your figure).

An ideal snack is the one offered by vending machines or micro markets. In fact, here you will find the single portions, what you need to calm the grumbling stomach and not to arrive completely without energy for lunch or dinner.

They range from fruit to a packet of crackers, from a sugar-free drink to dry biscuits, from natural dried fruit to a cereal bar or dried fruit, and finally to a jar of low-fat yogurt and a fruit.

Finally, don’t forget a very important thing. And there will be no doctor or expert who will not warn you about this matter. You should drink at least two liters of water a day.
