Snacks pack more calories than a single meal for many US adults, study finds
Fox News
Nearly a quarter of the calories U.S. adults consume comes from snacks, according to a new study. The lead researcher and a dietitian weigh in on the findings and offer smart snacking tips.
That’s more than the average breakfast — which is 300 to 400 calories. "It's easy to treat a snack like it doesn't count, but it's important to treat it like a mini-meal." "Your snacks can be all the difference between feeling energetic and focused between meals or consuming empty calories that lead to a blood sugar rush and crash." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
Snacks also comprise about one-third of daily added sugar consumed by most adults.
