It doesn\u2019t need to be, if you just take simple steps and shift a little bit at a time. These healthy snack swaps are easy and won\u2019t make you feel deprived.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Swap your bagel for an English muffin.<\/strong> These offer better portion control and fewer calories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forget the fruit juice.<\/strong> It\u2019s better to eat fruit than drink fruit juice, which has fewer nutrients and no fiber. If you just want a drink, slice fruit and let it infuse into your water for a burst of flavor that will help you stay hydrated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rather than chips, choose popcorn.<\/strong> When air-popped or lightly oil-popped, popcorn can satisfy your crunch craving while supplying healthy fiber and polyphenols.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ditch the white bread in favor of sprouted grain bread.<\/strong> The refined carbs in white bread can spike your blood sugar but sprouted grain bread is nutrient-dense and loaded with fiber.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A little mayo is fine sometimes, but avocado is better.<\/strong> Avocado makes a delicious, buttery spread and it\u2019s packed with monounsaturated fatty acids and fiber.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be smart about yogurt.<\/strong> Yogurt-covered treats can be loaded with sugar, but pretzels or fruit dipped in yogurt make for a healthy snack. When you\u2019re grabbing a yogurt to eat, choose plain instead of flavored and add your own fruit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instead of granola, pick high<\/strong>-fiber cereal. Granola is often full of sugar, but low-sugar, high-fiber cereal can be just as crunchy and provide you with healthy and filling fiber.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skip the cinnamon bun and go for sprouted cinnamon raisin bread with low<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>fat cream cheese<\/strong>. You\u2019ll still get the delicious flavor of cinnamon without using up a day\u2019s worth of calories, fat and sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider swapping your tortilla chips for a crunchy veggie<\/strong>. Most Mexican restaurants will substitute jicama or another nutritious vegetable to dip in your guac instead of high-sodium, high-calorie, non-nutritive chips. While you\u2019re at it, choose salsa over queso.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freeze some grapes instead of snacking on candy<\/strong>. Sometimes, a craving for sugar means you\u2019re a little bit dehydrated. Frozen grapes give you something sweet and hydrating while providing vitamins and antioxidants.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose nuts in the shell instead of already shelled<\/strong>. Nuts are good for you, full of healthy protein and fiber, but it\u2019s easy to eat too many. Pistachios in the shell take longer to eat, making portion control easier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pick fresh fruit over dried<\/strong>. Dried fruit is nutritious but can be higher in sugar than fresh fruit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dip cucumbers in your hummus instead of crackers<\/strong>. Hummus is good for you, and crackers aren\u2019t bad, but cucumber slices will provide vitamins, minerals, and hydration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you\u2019re trying to reach your fitness goals, a supportive environment can enhance the experience.
