Healthy Snacks Help Control Appetite, Lower Caloric Intake

Dieters who can control their hunger can reduce overall energy intake during the day and lose weight, according to a British nutrition research manager. A good way to control appetite is to eat healthy snacks between meals, especially peanuts, nuts and other high-fiber snacks. In a recent study, participants who regularly consumed almonds as a mid-morning snack said they felt fuller and ended up eating less for lunch and dinner. Another study found that participants lowered their daily caloric intake after eating a snack of cereal each day.
