Nutrition Myth: Snacking Equals Diet Disaster

March 28, 2008

During National Nutrition Month, ADA’s Tip of the Day will spotlight a popular nutrition myth and the facts that dispel the myth.

Myth: Snacks ruin a healthful diet.

Fact: Eating small, frequent meals is a good way to help you control weight and keep food cravings under control. Healthy snacking can help keep you energized all day. The key to healthy snacking is in the foods you choose, the size of your portions, how frequently you snack and the total amount of calories you consume.
