Even though snacking might have a bad reputation, it can actually be very beneficial to hitting your daily caloric intake. Although it might be easy to grab the bag of chips or sugary candy, it's ideal to keep these snacks low in sugar, high in protein, and overall full of nutrients. If you're someone who struggles to get their protein intake in, high-protein snacks in between meals might just be your solution! Choosing a healthy, high-protein snack in between breakfast and lunch or before dinner will help keep you satisfied while also contributing to your daily protein needs!
