Snacking is a good thing?!?!

Yes, you heard it right. Its good to eat in between meals. A lot of people think that they are "being good" or "saving up" but what they are really doing is just shutting down their metabolism. When you eat in between meals it keeps your body burning off those calories. I am not saying that snacking on a candy bar will do you any good either. You need to choose something that will fuel and energize your body. Try to eat small meals every three hours. Think, small portions throughout the day, rather than eating huge meals all at once. This will help speed up your metabolism; but remember, when you really want to get your metabolism up and running you have to get in exercise. Aim for "atleast" 30 minutes of exercise per day.

1 fruit with 1 tablespoon peanut butter
