There's a right and a wrong way to snack - here are 7 healthy tips to live by

Breakfast can help keep you energized throughout the day, especially when you're accustomed to eating it. Try to go for a morning meal that's high in protein and complex carbohydrates, but low in sugar.

"Many breakfast foods can be repurposed as a nutritious snack later in the day. How about a slice of whole-grain toast topped with low-sugar jam?" the newsletter suggested.

"Almonds, walnuts, peanuts, roasted pumpkin seeds, cashews, hazelnuts, filberts, and other nuts and seeds contain many beneficial nutrients and are more likely to leave you feeling full (unlike chips or pretzels)," the newsletter said. However, because nuts can be high in calories, try to keep the portions on the smaller side. Pictured is a serving size of almonds.

Partner something that's higher in fat (peanut butter, for instance) with something low in calories (in this case, celery sticks), and you've got a tasty, crunchy snack.

Macronutrients (aka protein, fat, and carbohydrates) are key to keeping our body's running smoothly. For snacks, consider putting more than one type of macronutrient together. Cheese and crackers, fruits and nuts — the possibilities are endless.

Carrying around a snack like a bag of carrots can keep you from picking up a higher-calorie snack from the cafeteria or vending machine. Plus, this way, you'll never have an excuse to get hangry.

Eating mindfully can be a sure-fire way to make sure you don't over-snack. When we're staring at our screens all day, we can forget how much we're putting into our mouths. Stepping away will give you a chance to focus in on your snack. And your brain will thank you for the break.
