Long working hours and improper eating can take a toll on your health. You may start the day with a healthy breakfast and follow it up with a balanced lunch, but what about the evening binge? Often we tend to go for wrong snacks that are high on calories, while snacking out or during office tea breaks.

Your daily diet needs to contain about 2000 calories. So, apart from main meals, whatever you munch must not only be less in portion, but also low in calories. We spoke to a few nutritionists, who recommended these snacks under 300 calories each.

Consultant dietician Sushila Sharangdhar suggests upma, a common yet healthy snack option. The semolina and urad dal used to make upma are good sources of complex carbohydrates. It can be made more nutritious by adding vegetables like peas, carrots, french beans, and sprouts, which are rich in vitamin C and other important nutrients.
