When you’re hungry and trying to make healthy choices, you might be tempted to grab something small, like crackers or pretzels. However, by choosing something more substantial, such as string cheese, peanut butter and a fruit, you will stay full and have more energy for longer. The protein and fats fuel you better and you end up eating fewer calories in the long run. It may seem counterintuitive, but eating more when you’re hungry might just help you lose weight!
