SAEDNEWS: Snacking is recommended more for children, underweight individuals, athletes, and pregnant women than for other people. It is usually consumed between the main meals of the day.
According to SAEDNEWS, Afternoon snacks are usually consumed between lunch and dinner. This timing should be considered carefully, meaning the snack should be eaten during the hours between these two main meals.
An afternoon snack can include ice cream, bread and cheese, cakes, sweets, various fruits, and desserts. However, people should pay attention to the amount they consume to avoid weight gain and obesity.
For example, chocolate cakes contain high amounts of calories, and different types of cookies can significantly contribute to weight gain. On the other hand, consuming fruits with lower sugar content, such as sour cherries, cherries, and apples, is recommended.
Bread, as a rich source of grains, along with cheese, jam, walnuts, or vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers, can be a suitable snack choice. It can also be combined with juicy fruits like melon and watermelon.
