Could a protein-rich afternoon snack be a game-changer for you?

Do you finally get to dinner time and are chomping at the bit only to overeat?

Including that protein-rich snack can alleviate the fact that you may not have had enough for lunch … or better-still, help to avoid those after dinner munchies that can set in if the rest of your day hasn’t been great.

Protein is a macronutrient crucial for various bodily functions. It helps stimulate the production of hormones that signal feelings of fullness, preventing overeating. Additionally, protein takes longer to digest than carbohydrates, providing a sustained release of energy. This can be particularly beneficial in the late afternoon when energy levels might be dwindling, and dinner is still a few hours away.

Consider preparing snack packs in advance, incorporating a mix of protein sources like nuts, seeds, dairy or boil some eggs for the week.
