Snacks are a smart way to help keep your energy levels steady and mind alert until your next meal. Regular meals and healthy snacks will also help curb your hunger making you less likely to overeat or be tempted by less healthy foods. Before you reach for a snack, think about if you are really hungry, and if you are, grab a nutrient rich snack rather than something sweet. You may also be developing a craving for something sweet because your blood sugar levels are falling as your brain is telling your body to find food to increase your blood sugars. What your body really needs is some carbohydrates. Low GI grain-based foods such as Bürgen® Fruit & Muesli Bread are an ideal snack as the carbohydrates are slowly digested helping to maintain blood sugar levels for longer.

How many kilojoules should a snack contain?

According to the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating, a snack for an average adult is around 600 kilojoules¹. However, this may be more or less depending on how active you are or if you are trying to manage your weight. The average person shouldn’t need more than 2 snacks a day. 1 slice of Bürgen® Fruit & Muesli Bread is an ideal snack under 600 kilojoules as a healthy sweet treat providing longer lasting energy to keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Size Matters

One of the best rules for smart snacking is to watch portion size. A snack is just that 'a snack' and not supposed to be the same size as a main meal. Think of a piece of toast, a tub of yoghurt, a piece of fruit or a slice of cheese and a wholegrain cracker - size does matter!
