Today I propose some options so that you do not give up a good sandwich even if you want to lose weight.

18 Healthy snack ideas for a healthy diet(healthy snacks to make)

(For your healthy sandwiches use wholemeal bread)

Bread is an energy food due to its high content of carbohydrates.

It is better to take it in its whole varieties, whatever the cereal, as it contains up to 5 times more fibre than normal white bread, and twice as many vitamins and minerals in its composition.

In addition, by providing you with more fibre, it is giving you greater satiety, so hunger tends to appear later.

Of course, it is important to tailor the amount we consume based on how much we normally move and whether or not we need to lose weight.

And if you have celiac disease or you get tired of always having the same bread, use other gluten-free alternatives or dare with these yucca arepas.

Do not miss the vegetables

In your healthy sandwiches, you can add raw vegetables  (lettuce, cucumber, tomato, spinach, onion...) or grilled or roasted (zucchini, aubergine, peppers...), for example. They will provide you with few calories but many nutrients.

 

You can also add avocado to these combinations, it will give you healthy cardio fats.

The fact that they provide you with fibre delays the absorption of the starch in the bread.

The healthy and appetizing combinations with vegetables are innumerable.

Don't forget the protein in your healthy snack

You can make very nutritious snacks with canned fish like tuna, mackerel or sardines.

The protein takes longer to digest or increases the time of gastric change. That is, it takes longer to digest it and, therefore, it fills you up more.

And if you want sausages, use serrano ham, chicken or turkey breast, loin cane or extra cooked ham. Do not forget of course to add vegetables to make them more nutritious.

Other protein options for healthy snacks are to add any type of cheese,  a scrambled egg or an omelette or some chicken fillet or pork loin, for example.

 

Give it another flavour with vegetable proteins

Hummus is another healthy alternative to add to bread.

You can make it with dried tomato or with legumes, for example. By having chickpeas as a base, it provides you with vegetable proteins of high biological value.

Making homemade hummus is very simple and won't take much of your time.

Another healthy option would be to add homemade guacamole. And if you dare, make these gluten-free arepas with avocado and cheese.

 

Forget the sauces

Forget about sauces if you don't want your calories to multiply, but if you add them, make them homemade and healthy sauces.

If you do not add it, you will also prevent the sauce from spoiling in the event that it is hot.

Don't forget about hydration

Remember that doing sports we must hydrate ourselves from time to time. Hydrate yourself with water and put aside soft drinks and sugary juices that give you calories and do not quench your thirst as much as water. Also, by drinking water, you will be able to maintain your weight.
