Snack Foods 1 article

Snack Foods covers foods eaten between meals or in small portions when portability, convenience and portion size matter as much as the food itself. Nuts, seeds, trail mix, crackers, roasted legumes and ready-to-eat eggs can all serve as snacks despite having very different nutrient profiles. The category therefore focuses on format and eating occasion rather than a single nutritional standard. Protein, fiber, added sugar, sodium, energy density and package size help distinguish options that occupy the same snack role.
