i recently went to diabetic class for a brush up (since the last time i went to one was like 5-10 years ago). and the information they gave and research they have done since has changed a lot.
they still reconmend the whole 1/2 fruits n vegs, 1/4 carbs, 1/4 protein, as a rough guideline for healthy eating, but at least they into more detail now.
a lot of what i learned before, and thru the years still holds up though.
whatever you eat as a snack, make sure its a healthy hearty carb. if its been packaged and processed, compared to some home made or healthy combined made product, then you know the answer.
my issue isnt so much taste, or energy boost. i have stuff for that, but its sustainability. my issue is im up by 5, at work by 7:30, and my lunch break isnt til 2. thats roughly a span of 6.5 hrs i dont eat. so i need a snack that can push my blood sugars long enough to last for that long. if i drink a can of sugar pop, ill get a sugar high, but wont last me long enough til lunch. cant have those fruit leathers either, same idea. a piece of fruit is always good but cant pack that all the time. packaged granola bars are full of sugar and oils making them just not healthy. so whats left? dry mixed fruits n nuts pretty much. can grab an handful when im by my locker.
anyhow, if u have questions, ill see if i can answer them. might not be the best answer, or the correct one, but at least everyone can educate each other.
lots of different studies and research out there. doubt there is 1 definitive answer as each person is different. what worked for you may not be able to work for me due to my lifestyle and being diabetic.
