Do you belong to the 90% of Americans who snack? Do you go for that planned mid-day snack, graze your way through the workday, or skip meals in lieu of your favorite treat?

Our culture is obsessed with snacking, and snack foods are ubiquitous in our food environment. While a well-placed and balanced snack can optimize nutrition, energy, and weight, frequent snacking can drain our energy and focus, while contributing to our expanding waistlines and metabolic imbalances. So… should you snack?

Join this noontime webinar to discover the pros and cons of snacking and learn how to make snacking work for your healthy eating goals and not against them. We will explore the reasons behind our ever-growing snacking culture and examine the impact of common snack foods on our energy and performance levels. You will come away with useful tips on how, when, and what to snack to optimize your energy, performance, and waistline.
