Almost all of us are either working from home (WFH) or just at home, period. That likely means less access to movement, and more access to food. Not a great combo in the best of times, and certainly not in the most-stressful of times.

Don’t fret, though. We have some tips and advice from Michael, the long-Registered Dietitian at Morakot, on how you can still eat healthfully during self-isolation.

The first lesson: Snacking.

You’re at home, close to a fridge, close to food. And maybe you’re bored or stressed or both. So, there’s definite potential there for mindless snacking or stress-eating.

Bound to happen. And that’s OK.

Let’s just improve your snack choices by following these general recommendations

No. 1: Choose a carb (whole grain when possible)

Whole grain crackers

Pretzel sticks

Rice cakes

Whole grain toast

Pita

Air-popped popcorn

Whole grain cereal

No. 2 Choose a protein/healthy fat

No. 3 Add fruits & veggies (fresh, frozen, or canned)

Balancing snacks will help you to feel more satisfied and also go a long way in helping you stay on track nutritionally.
