Everyone’s definition of “healthy” varies. Some base what is “healthy” on calories, sugar or total carbohydrates while others eyeball the portion size of certain food and claim it as nutritious and satisfying. The portion-controllers are half correct.

According to womenshealth.com, snack time should consist of a small meal, preferably of 100 calories. This is proven to keep you satisfied until your next meal. Watch out eye-ballers, you may think you’re putting a small portion your plate, but the portions could be even smaller.

Senior Holly Adinolfi shares why she eats healthy.

“My motivation comes from my dad. He was Mr. Connecticut for a bodybuilding competition so I was raised eating healthy snacks and it just continued through my college experience,” Adinolfi said.

“At Iona, I would suggest that students get peanut butter and an apple or banana or the fruit cups. Those are usually my go-to healthy snacks,” she said.

Measuring your food is the key to not overeating, especially when it comes to snacks, since they aren’t full meals.

Consider buying a food scale at your local supermarket or Bed Bath and Beyond, where they have different sized scales for liquid and dry food along with affordable prices.

To use the scale effectively, you should be serious enough to take the time to calculate your calories.

Bodybuilding.com offers equations and calculators on its site to help you determine how many calories you need each day. Once you find this out, you can use the weight of your food to figure out how much of a healthy snack you should consume.

“I feel better about myself eating healthier rather than eating junk food snacks. It always helps if you’re working out and trying to lose weight,” said senior Allie O’Connor.

Self.com offers different snacks you can choose from.
