Hope this gives advice on snacks!

Most of us are in dire need of a pick-me-up midday, so it is imperative we know
which snacks are best for maximum energy without the subsequent pitfall.
Remember this simple rule: Mix carbs and protein.
Try some of these carb-protein combos:
· Carrots and hummus
· An apple and cheese (my favorite)
· Fruit and nuts
· Whole-grain* crackers and peanut butter

*Whole grains contain complex carbohydrates that sustain your energy level
longer than simple carbs found in pretzels and candies. Whole grains are also
good sources of Vitamin B, which is believed to relieve stress. (But who has STRESS)?
