While that doesn\u2019t seem like much, once you gain weight, it can be tough to lose it.<\/p>\n<p>The holidays are a tempting time with cocktails, sweetened drinks, appetizers, heavy meals and desserts. So how can you enjoy the season without overindulging? Make conscious, healthy meal choices; get regular exercise; and be sure to snack sensibly, too.<\/p>\n<p>Keep good-for-you foods close by during the holidays to fight the urge to eat sweets and treats. Here are Healthy Dining\u2019s eight picks for healthy snacks:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Citrus<\/strong><br \/>\nCitrus fruits like oranges and clementines are refreshing and good for you, too. High in fiber, oranges are a healthy, quick snack. On average, each person in the U.S. eats 12.5 pounds of citrus every year. Citrus fruits are at their peak during the winter months making them a budget-friendly and flavorful option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Nuts<\/strong><br \/>\nEating a small amount of nuts can satisfy your hunger and also support your health. Research shows that nuts, including almonds, walnuts and pistachios provide protein, fiber and healthy fats, are heart healthy and can promote weight loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Cottage cheese<\/strong><br \/>\nTasty cottage cheese is very good for you. It\u2019s a great source of protein and calcium as well as vitamin A and vitamin D. Pair it with fresh fruits and veggies for a satisfying and waist-friendly snack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Chocolate<\/strong><br \/>\nIndulge your sweet tooth with a healthy bite or two of chocolate. Research indicates chocolate, especially dark chocolate, may help prevent heart disease. Still, it\u2019s not a good idea to overdo it. While it\u2019s delicious to eat and rich in antioxidant nutrients, it also is a dense source of fat and calories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Fresh Fruit<\/strong><br \/>\nNosh on fruit between meals. Bananas for example are rich in potassium; apples have lots of fiber and their sweet taste is satisfying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Yogurt<\/strong><br \/>\nThis dairy is a healthy and tasty choice any time of day. Look for the low-calorie yogurt options.. Pairing a plain unsweetened yogurt with some fresh fruit, like blueberries or raspberries, makes for a delicious snack. Consider low fat or nonfat Greek yogurt, too, which has more protein than traditional yogurt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Popcorn<\/strong><br \/>\nAir-popped popcorn can be both satisfying and healthy. Popcorn has lots of fiber and is rich in antioxidants. Be careful not to add extras to your popcorn though \u2013 cheese, salt and other toppings can add unwanted saturated fat, calories and sodium to your otherwise nutritious snack. Instead, add a punch of flavor with herbs and spices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Oatmeal<\/strong><br \/>\nOatmeal isn\u2019t just for breakfast. It\u2019s also a great snack, because it\u2019s a satisfying whole grain. Oatmeal can help lower your cholesterol; and it\u2019s high in fiber, which can help you lose weight.<\/p>\n<p>Eating at regular intervals throughout the day, with healthy snacks like these and Healthy Dining menu choices, can help you prevent hunger and stay on track with your health goals.
