It's pretty normal for people to get bored with their current snacks. So instead of letting you get to the point where you just grab the unhealthy stuff you see because you're bored - let's brainstorm some great options for healthy snacks instead. You can print off this list and store it in a safe place so when the time comes you have some ideas right in front of you.
What is the importance of eating snacks? You should aim to eat every 2.5-3 hours and 5-6 time a day. Each meal shoud be around 200-300 calories depending on your weight loss goals and body composition. But you are not gorging yourself 6 times a day. It's all about controlling portions and eating quality food!
