“Strategic Snacking: Indulge Without Overdoing It”

Lucas loved snacks, but sometimes, he ate too many and felt yucky afterward. One day, his older sister explained a trick to him. “You can enjoy your snacks without overdoing it, Lucas. It’s all about picking the right ones and controlling the portions!” Lucas was curious. His sister told him about choosing snacks that were both yummy and healthy, like apple slices with peanut butter or a handful of almonds. She also showed him how to measure out small amounts so he didn’t eat too much. “The trick is to pick snacks that fill you up but don’t leave you feeling stuffed,” she said. Lucas started picking smaller, balanced snacks and loved how good they made him feel. Instead of eating a whole bag of chips, he had a few almonds and felt satisfied. He learned that snacking didn’t have to make him feel bad; it was all about choosing wisely. Lucas now enjoyed snacks without worrying, knowing that he could indulge without overdoing it. He felt proud of his smart choices and loved how happy and full he felt afterward.
