Unfortunately, most people make a habit of snacking without ever being aware of and take into account the number of calories. Conditions that actually triggers obesity, because the calorie content in snack foods can be more than the main.
To calculate caloric intake when snacking is not always easy, because these activities are usually carried out continuously while doing other activities. For example, checking the work on a computer screen, the left hand automatically retrieve snacks without realizing it.
However, based on research, snacking can also be done with a well planned so as not to trigger obesity. Research published in the journal Eating Behavior showed that women who snack do not always have a problem with weight.
In observation for 28 days, 5 percent of 58 participants were female and aged 19-41 years had a habit of snacking is observed every day. Of these, the relative body mass index is tantamount to participants who rarely snack.
The study does not explain how the respondents to plan and control her snacking habits. But the number of calories can also be controlled such as by limiting the number of snacks available, so people will stop snacking with itself before the excessive calories.
However, nutrition experts still consider that snacking is not a healthy habit that should really be limited. Even if true does not lead to obesity, this habit causes the nutrients are not balanced because the nutrient content of snacks are usually less diverse.
"Snacking is a very bad habit," says Katherine Tallmadge, nutritionist and author of Diet Simple is suggested to slightly modify the habit of snacking into pieces to make it more healthy snacking, as quoted by MSNBC, Monday (01/02/2012).
