Abstract in brief

  • Snacking is a significant part of daily energy consumption and influences diet quality, but its impact on cardiometabolic health is not well understood.
  • A study with 1002 participants assessed various health markers and snacking habits, finding that while most participants snacked frequently, neither the amount nor the frequency of snacking correlated with cardiometabolic risks.
  • However, lower snack quality was linked to unfavorable blood markers and increased hunger, highlighting the importance of snack quality over quantity and the potential effects of late-night snacking.

Snacking is OK, but make sure you snack on high quality things. Nuts including peanuts are nutrient dense and satisfying. Latest findings from UK's ZOE project highlight better metabolic health and decreased hunger with quality snacks like nuts. https://t.co/sDMnY5HEqb
