Who should eat snacks?

Infants and toddlers need to snack because they have such high energy demands and small stomachs.

Teenagers who are rapidly growing and developing also need to snack because they require more calories and nutrients to sustain their growth spurts.

Athletes involved in sports or endurance training need to snack to meet their increased energy demands. Carbohydrates (stored as a substance called glycogen in the liver and muscles) are used up during exercise and must be replenished.

Laborers and construction workers have very high energy demands that cannot be met in three meals per day so they may need a snack.

People who may not have time to sit down for a meal should snack so they don't have an energy letdown in the late afternoon.

People who don't eat breakfast should carry a snack with them so they will have fuel for their brains when they need to focus on their work.

When you snack, you can fill in nutritional gaps,

keep your mood on an even keel, and help with appetite and weight control.
