So, you’re trying to slim down, but you’re feeling as if the only thing your regimented work out is helping you accomplish is working up an appetite. Fret not, according to experts, an increased metabolism can often mean an increased appetite. In fact eating “more” is more than normal and healthy, it’s actually recommended. It’s simply a matter of eating more of the right foods (and that doesn’t necessarily mean as much of them as you’d like, it simply means more good choices in small “meals”, more often.).

Here are some healthy, easy choices for you to consider:

· Dried or fresh fruits (small banana)
· Granola
· Cereal or energy bars
· Trail Mix
· Nuts
· Small carton of skim milk
· Low-Fat (skimmed) string Cheese
· Unsalted pretzels
· Peanut butter on whole grain crackers.
· Half a pumpernickel or whole wheat bagel with tuna or salmon
· Celery with peanut butter or light cream cheese.
· Vegetable juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
