It’s important to note that cutting calories may help you lose weight, but will also naturally slow down its metabolism and store fat. So cutting your caloric intake may help you shed those added pounds fast, but it is not sustainable. 

However, if you’re used to snacking on fries or chips and are seeking a list of healthier options with fewer calories, look no further!

Before we dive into all the delicious snacks, it should be noted that what you eat depends on what you want to achieve. For example, do you simply wish to lose weight? Do you want to gain muscles? Before making any drastic changes to your diet or exercise routine, consult with your doctor and trainer to ensure you’re making the best changes for your body.

I’d also like to point out that just because some snacks are listed here does not mean they are good for you. For example, While an oreo maybe under 50 calories, it does not have a lot of nutrients your body needs. Do your research and consult your doctor before making drastic changes.

Good luck this summer!
