The key to a healthy lifestyle and diet is to get the balance right. The general guidelines state that men should consume no more than 2500 calories per day and women should not exceed 2000 calories per day. Calories should come from food from the main food groups and the exact number depends, among other things, on how active you are and on what you have eaten the day before. In between meals, there is room for about 300-400 calories for snacks. So we should choose our snacks carefully and above all choose a snack that is tasty!
