National Nutrition Month Tip #13 Tips for smart snacking: -Don’t let size deceive. Snacks often come in small packages, but can be loaded -Educate yourself about labels and claims. It’s easy to fall victim to the healthy highlights on packages with terms like “natural, “organic” and “non-GMO.” But, an organic chocolate chip cookie is still a chocolate chip cookie. It’s important to keep an eye on the ingredients list, as well as nutrient content of packaged foods. -Be aware of your habits. According to a survey on snacking behavior, people are more likely to consume a healthy snack — such as fruits or vegetables — in the morning and afternoon than they are in the evenings. If you tend to eat potato chips while watching a late-night TV show, opt for whole grain air-popped popcorn instead. #CDSbeNutritious #NNM #eatright
