I’m pretty notorious at this point for not snacking and it’s because it is such a great tool if you have a weight loss goal or a gut health goal mind but I will concede that there are a few instances where a snack might be necessary especially if you didn’t eat enough at your previous meal and you need something to get you to that next meal so I don’t often snack but if I do these are the things that I snack on my name is Autumn I’m a certified clinical nutritionist so it’s my Master’s nutrition Human Performance and today’s video is sponsored by element mourn them in a bit okay first it’s important to note that I never snack to Grays and this is a really important thing to keep in mind because the goal of a snack really should be to satisfy your hunger it shouldn’t just be to mindlessly eat there’s a big difference so each of the snacks that I’m sharing today are things that I will personally use if I didn’t eat enough of protein or fat at my previous meal so when creating a snack or a mini meal is create a snack using things that we didn’t get enough of specifically protein and fat so this snack should be blood sugar stabilizing should have protein and should have high quality quality sources of fat it also shouldn’t have refined carbohydrates or added sugars otherwise it’s just going to keep you hungry it won’t actually satisfy your hunger okay and the first thing that I will have are beef sticks or beef jerky another word for beef sticks is also like meat sticks which I hate that word but it is more accurate because you can actually get these in a variety of different types of meats you can get it in Turkey you can I think you can get it in fish now don’t quote me on that but I think I’ve seen it around and of course you can get it in beef and pork I prefer beef sticks to beef jerky because beef sticks also have a little bit of fat in them where beef jerky does not if I am having beef jerky I’m going to pair it with some type of nuts to get some fat in okay a second thing I’ll have are parm crisps or parm wisps two different brands but both essentially the same thing they’re essentially just baked Parmesan or baked other type of cheese that it’s using and that’s it so it’s like having Goldfish crackers without having to refine carbohydrates really high in protein and does have a good source of fat in there so it’s going to help to satiate you more than having like crackers Okay the third thing I’ll have is just regular sliced aged cheese or string cheese I actually always keep a stock of various different types of cheeses in my fridge because they’re such a great source of high quality protein and fat that you can just like slice up a few pieces and eat them between a meal if you find you didn’t get enough from your previous meal some of my favorites are cheddar parmesan and Manchego but honestly like all cheese I’m happy with I usually aim for like one to two ounces of cheese really depending on my Hunger level and then string cheese is something that I’ll use if I’m like really in a page or traveling because you can always find string cheese at like a Starbucks now before we move on I want to give a huge thank you to today’s sponsor element Eloy is a zero sugar electrolyte company that I’ve been using for years now to make sure I get my electrolytes in because especially when your goal is weight loss or if you’re using interwritten fasting it’s really easy to lose a lot of electrolytes and being in that electrolyte imbalance day can cause things like headaches low energy muscle fatigue and even constipation and I love that element is zero sugar so you can actually use it to help support your your goal is not work against your goals and that it comes in a ton of different flavors my personal favorite lately has been lemon habanero but I also love their mango chili and their raspberry and their orange salt their unflavored option is also fantastic if you’re using intermittent fasting an element is really convenient and comes in these super portable little packages that all just pack in my bag whenever I’m traveling so that I can get the Magnesium the sodium and the potassium that my body needs it’s also really easy to use you literally just tear open the package dump it in your water you give it a shake and you’re ready to go and right now element is offering my viewers a free sample pack with any order that’s eight single serve packets free with any element order it’s a really great way to test out all eight flavors so you can get yours at drinkelement.com forward slash Autumn this is only available through my link so make sure to check out d-r-i-n-k-l-mnt.com forward slash Autumn the link will be in the description down below okay the fourth thing that I’ll snack on that might be confusing for some people are pork rinds which I know like before you shut this off I swear there’s actually some legitimate reasons why pork rinds could be a great option four Grands are actually really high in protein and naturally high in an amino acid called glycine which is needed for liver detoxification and for glutathione production it can also help to satisfy that like chip craving so especially for someone who just loves chips pork rinds might be a much better option for you a couple brands that I like to use are the brand 4505 and epic they both come in a ton of different flavors so you can kind of experiment and see which one you like best okay the fifth thing I’ll snack on are hard-boiled eggs this is just a classic easy one where again you can make this at home and keep some in the fridge or they’re also pretty easy to find when you’re out and about you can find it pre-hard-boiled at grocery stores you can get it pre-hard-boiled at like Starbucks is I don’t even really go to Starbucks that often ever but back in my college days I remember they always had hard-boiled eggs okay the sixth thing that I will snack on if I need something between meals are Greek yogurt or cottage cheese the full fat variety both of these especially cottage cheese are really high in protein and remember that’s the thing that we’re missing so we need to make sure that whatever snack we’re having is going to be high in protein you can just pair it with like a small handful of low sugar berries like strawberries raspberries and then depending on your hunger level add on a little bit of nuts and seeds as well okay the seventh thing that I’ll snack on our bagged tuna so not the canned tuna because canned tuna is actually probably going to be too much protein for you at that point and you want to make sure that you can actually eat your next meal so bagged tuna sounds weird but it’s essentially just canned tuna that is in a terrible bag that makes it really convenient to eat and usually comes in about two ounce servings so it’s about half this size so you get your protein you get some high quality omega-3 fats and they tend to come in different flavors like the lemon pepper flavor I think it is is really good I personally prefer the brand safe catch because they’re the lowest Mercury brand on the market which you can even find at places like Costco now okay the eighth thing that I’ll snack on are egg bites so it’s kind of similar to hard-boiled eggs but with a lot more flavor egg bites are pretty much just like mini frittatas where you have eggs that are mixed with like either veggies or some type of meat and then they’re baked or they’re done via like the sous-vide method either way they’re just convenient little protein and bites that you can bring with you on the go so you can make these at home or again you can find them pretty much at most health food stores usually in the prepared food section by like the prepared salads or even in the egg section and again Starbucks is not meant to be like an ad for Starbucks not a fan of them but it’s something that most people like can drive past it’s pretty much anywhere in the world okay the ninth thing that I’ll snack on are soft cheeses with a small amount of fruit now soft cheeses typically are not as high in protein as hard cheeses hard cheeses tend to have like between seven to even nine grams of protein per ounce which is pretty high soft cheeses usually are around like six or seven grams per ounce but either way you are getting a high quality source of fat and protein so this can definitely work in a pinch I like to pair goat cheese with like a half of a sliced Apple that way I’m keeping the sugar content low and you get like that Cracker type of experience but without the refined carbohydrates or or mozzarella with tomatoes and make like a mini Caprese salad that’s also really good okay the 10th thing that I will snack on is protein hot chocolate this is especially if you have a sweet tooth I make my own protein hot chocolate that just uses three ingredients and it is so good it has zero sugar and it has 19 grams of protein so if you guys actually
