(BPT) - - As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, it can be tempting to indulge in delicious food favorites and hide those few extra pounds under a thick wool sweater. But you shouldn’t have to choose between sticking with your weight management plan and enjoying satisfying and delicious foods. There are some easy and tasty tricks to having your cake and eating it too.
“For those looking to manage their weight, protein and fiber filled foods are helpful to feeling full longer. Typical protein options like Greek yogurt and eggs are not good sources of fiber. One option, Kellogg’s Special K Protein Plus cereal, has 10 grams of protein and also three grams of fiber. Special K also offers tasty meal bars and shakes to take with you on the go to help avoid those tempting cupcakes at the office,” says registered dietitian Sylvia Melendez-Klinger.
