Have you been eating more snacks during the pandemic? If so, you’re not alone! A survey from CVS Pharmacy released in mid-October found that two-thirds of American adults (66 percent) are snacking at home more. Yet nearly three in five (59 percent) are choosing better-for-you snacks and meal solutions more often than they would have prior to the pandemic. That’s great news!

Eating regular meals and snacks can help you feel satisfied throughout the day — the key is to plan your meals and snacks. A balanced meal plan can also help keep you from being tempted by those less-healthful foods. So when reaching for a snack, remember you have options. Aim for the healthier ones and you’ll save calories, feel less stressed and have more energy!
