Get Fit: Surviving The Munchies

           Get Fit: Surviving The Munchies 
Hey guys, if  your like me you want your metabolism pumping!!!! In a study it showed it you ate three meduim sized meals a day with three snacks you will burn more fat so, instead of starving yourself between each meal, have a nutritious snack. It will help get your metabolism pumping and your body burning calories too.

Instead of those chips and pre-made snack packs, opt for one of my favorite healthy snack suggestions:

Grapes & Grahams: Take one graham cracker and split it into two squares. Spread each square with a light layer of cream cheese. Then sprinkle eight halved grapes over the top. It sounds strange, but it's so delicious!

Pear/Apple & String Cheese: To curb your sugar cravings, have a piece of fruit with a side of cheesy protein (my favorite type of protein). Cheese is packed with calcium and according to good old Everyday Health, calcium "can help adjust your body's fat-burning machinery."?

Greek Yogurt: Have a cup of Greek yogurt. If it's plain, drizzle a little agave nectar over it and top it off with a few berries or slivered almonds. Greek yogurt is packed with protein, which will keep you feeling full. Plus it has a lot of calcium too!

Hummus & Veggies: This is my favorite snack. The hummus is made from chickpeas, which is rich in protein and fiber. It's low fat and filling. Perfection!

What's your favorite snack?

Upload and submit a photo of your favorite healthy snack with a caption explaining the ingredients. I'll feature my favorite submissions in a follow up post!
