For a healthy life style, its crucial to eat small healthy snacks or healthy jar snacks through the day between your lunch and dinner. So you could be snacking atleast 4 to 5 times a day or every 2 to 3 hours. The reason is simple, never starve yourself as you want to keep your blood sugar levels normal through the day and that enables fat burning.
Hunger can attack us anytime during the day and sometimes at night too. Even the healthiest eaters often reach out to unhealthy snacks when hunger strikes at odd hours, because they do not have time to cook anything fresh at that moment. This section on healthy jar snacks will save you from this predicament. Keep some of these dry snacks handy, stored in airtight jars, so you can instantly answer any hunger pangs without compromising on the health quotient.
