Mindful Snacking Snacking is great to keep hunger at bay but make sure to be mindful of the amounts you’re eating. Almonds for example, have 7 calories per nut. So 14 almonds and you’re already at 100 calories. Never eat out of a large bag. Always portion your snacks into a container so you know exactly how much you’re eating. Snacking is where a lot of people gain excess pounds because they aren’t aware how many calorie they’re consuming.
