Snacking is crucial for weight loss. When you have a healthy snack in between meals, your metabolism keeps running smoothly, and you’re less likely to overeat at meals. If you’re exercising regularly as part of your weight-loss regimen, snacking is especially important, since it gives your body fuel for your workouts.

You can make healthier versions of your favorite munchies and keep them at home to nosh on when you’re hungry. Whether you have a salty, sweet, or savory tooth, we can show you how to modify your go-to snacks to be better for you. Here are 50 snack swaps for faster weight loss.
