Snacking can be a curse for many people trying to lose weight, as it can lead to overeating and therefore adding excess calories to their daily tally. And too much snacking can impact hunger at meal times, causing people to skip meals entirely.
This can lead to a risk of losing out on important nutrients.
But Joe Wicks, also known to millions as The Body Coach, revealed his go-to snacks for when he’s feeling a little peckish out and about.
He told Express.co.uk: “I don’t snack loads but if I do it’s fruit, like apples and bananas.
“Sometimes I’ll make homemade granola bars.”

A large apple contains around 116 calories and 5.4g of fibre, making them very filling and multiple studies indicate that they may support weight loss.
Likewise, bananas are full of nutrients and fibre, which make them an ideal part of a healthy weight loss plan.
The YouTube sensation is a role model in every way, as he revealed it’s best to stick to a three meal a day plan rather than spend the day snacking on little bits.
“I tend to think about three meals a day,” he said.

According to Healthline, eating fruit is linked to a lower body weight and a lower risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and heart disease.
