Before you learned how to walk or talk, you learned how to snack. It started as a handful of Cheerios (面包圈) on your high chair tray (高脚椅), then some Goldfish Cookies after school. In fact, many teens snack as often as four times a day.
The top snack picks for teens are factory made desserts, salty snacks, candies, and fruit drinks. While unprocessed food like strawberries or cheese can give you what your body needs. Those aren’t the foods that are the easiest to get your hands on. Have you looked at the vending machine (投币式自动售货机) or local convenience store recently? They’re not exactly filled with oranges or hard boiled eggs.
One reason: There’s less money to be made on real food, so companies have invented “snack food”, which are cheaper to make and take years to go bad.
Still, you buy them anyway. It’s hard not to, thanks to billions of dollars spent on snack-food marketing. You can see ads for these between-meal snacks everywhere— whether they’re TV ads or ads on a phone app. “Everywhere you go, you see ads to snack on the wrong kinds of foods.” says Margo Wootan. “The reason is simpler: The more you eat. the more money food companies make.”
EATING WRONG FOOD
You love chips and cookies. But they’re full of man-made materials and lack of nutrients (营养素) you need like iron.
Do it right: Junky snacks are OK sometimes, but always include fruit or vegetables with every meal or snacks.
REDUCING PROTEIN
Your store’s snack shelf is filled with things that are heavy on fat hut light on protein (蛋白质), a nutrient that’s especially filling. So you end up eating more, but still feeling unsatisfied.
Do it right: Stay satisfied between meals by adding a healthy protein to your snacks, like a hard-boiled egg or cheese.
