What are healthy snacks I can eat in college?
My current way I'm eating is: Breakfast: 2 packs of instant oatmeal. Lunch: A chicken salad. (there's a really good salad place near my work), small piece of bread Dinner: Fish or chicken with vegetables. If I get hungry after dinner, I eat yogurt or fruit. (I buy apples and bananas because they're cheap.) My job right now is sedentary in an office. But during the school year, I always eat more. It's stress, my brain is working harder, I'm just busier so I get hungry and I know what I'm eating now won't be enough. However I get tired of apples/bananas all the time. I like yogurt but mini yogurts are expensive and what I buy right now is already kind of expensive. I don't like nuts really so I don't know what else I can eat. And I know if I just try to restrict myself from anything else, I won't keep up with my diet. And it's working really well for me so far. I've lost weight and I feel a little hungry but it's manageable. And my aunt after she had kids cut all carbs even fruit and lost 45 pounds. She's still no carb but starting eating fruit again after a year. So I figured if I reduce mine, I'll still lose weight because I'm 20 so my metabolism is still faster than her. (She's in her 40s).

When are good times between meals to eat a snack?
Most people probably get hungry 3 to 4hrs after a meal so some people have breakfast at 7am and then at 10am they have a small snack, then they eat lunch 2hrs later. Then maybe by 4pm you would be hungry enough for a 2nd snack to hold you over till dinner at 7pm. It really all depends on your schedule though so you can make it work for you.

What are healthy snacks to eat between breakfast and lunch?
Water. Just rely on pure water.Add the following if the cravings don't stop:LemonsApple Cider VinegarMatcha Tea (better than green tea)CoffeeIf there are still cravings do this:Eat a salad (minus any dressing or absolutely minimize it. Add some tuna chunks, or any lean meat portions. For vegetarians eat a sprout salad, or add tofu/paneer to your salad)This is what I had yesterday in between my meals when hunger took the best part of me:Note: I avoid eating any snacks, unless my hunger goes out of control.Why?I purely rely on my meals. You see we are so used to snacking and eating all the time.And with so many options available (mostly unhealthy) you are bound to eat more than you can burn…So eating is all habitual.What am I getting at?You guessed it right.Intermittent fasting.At first, its not easy. Maybe IF is not for everyone! but I recommend everyone to give it a try and see if it works for them or not.For example, I wake up at 5 and don't eat my first meal until 11am.Thats like 6 hours.IN the first few weeks or even months, it was not easy. But my body has adapted and trust me when I say this, these periods of underrating are the best time when my creativity is at the peak. I don't have to spend time in the kitchen or get distracted from my work.I just reply on some cups of matcha tea and black coffee to keep me going.50–60% of my work is done by the time clock hits 11am and then I enjoy a nice breakfast. It looks something like this:

What are some delicious and healthy snacks for kids?
I really encourage people not to make snack time an event.Don't make snack food beautiful and delicious.Snack foods and snack these days are often appearing much tastier and better looking than a lot of parent’s baseline cooking skills.A snack is supposed to just take the edge off of hunger.Now they’re looking like small to medium sized meals.Young children are often being conditioned to eat too much and one of the troublesome points is… snack.“Healthy” snacks are not an innocent player in the development of continuous eating habits.“Healthy Snacks” still lead to problematic behaviors like not eating enough of the nutritious things at meal times.They’re not hungry enough at 5:30 pm because of their continuous eating.They ate 17 grapes, adult portions of cheddar cheese, and 8–10 organic rounds (Whole Food substitute for Ritz) at 3:45/4pm.“Healthy Snacking” contributes just as much to kid’s palates being developed around “healthy” treat foods so they try to refuse eating vegetables and grains because they aren’t “yummy” enough.I’ve been there. Believe me.If a child is actually really hungry, try to offer all fruits, nuts, carrots and hummus, some sliced ham, half a turkey sandwich with avocado on whole grain bread, edamame, maybe freshly popped pop corn with light salt and olive oil for an occasional treat, etc.Stuff you probably already have.Toddlers?A small piece of bread with nut butter or hummus and a small glass of milk is fine.Instead of letting them graze cup after cup on all of this lovely packaged snacks of finger foods that seem made just for your toddler, try to serve dinner closer to 5pm.That way you don’t need to use snacking to get them through the rest of the day.We need to encourage more deliberation and decision making around eating with kids.This starts with conditioning children that they don’t need to always eat snacks or treat themselves with food.Many say they’re hungry when they aren’t. They just want… something.When we don’t have cute and exciting things readily on hand to eat, and we reply with requests like this:“You’re hungry? Have some pistachios or a slice of watermelon.”Kids can stop, think, and then say, “Hmmm. Okay!” or “Hmmm. I guess I’m not that hungry. I can wait.”They’ll be thinking about it.That’s a very good thing.
