What Are The Disadvantages Of Snacks?

Mindful snacking -- or eating a nutritious, properly-portioned snack when hunger strikes -- boosts your intake of essential nutrients and health-promoting food substances such as fiber and antioxidants. Careless snacking, on the other hand, can easily take you over your daily energy requirements while providing little to no nutritional benefit -- a practice that can contribute to the development of a range of health problems. Snacking out of habit, boredom, stress or frustration rather than out of hunger often leads to weight gain. Consuming too many refined or sugar-rich foods can cause high blood triglyceride levels while decreasing levels of health-promoting HDL cholesterol and may contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress, according to the American Heart Association. Eating frequently increases the risk of tooth decay and eaten two or three hours before lunch or dinner, a small, nutritious snack can both tide you over and help prevent you from overeating at mealtime.

An advantage of healthy food is that it may help you control your weight better than when you eat junk food. Many healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, low-fat dairy and beans, have a low energy-density, or a low amount of calories in each serving of food. This means that you may get full after eating fewer calories, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fiber, protein and water in these foods may help decrease hunger. High-fat, high-sugar or high-starch unhealthy foods can be high in calories and not very filling, so a disadvantage is that they can cause you to overeat, which in turn leads to weight gain.

Most of the foods categorized as "snack foods" are not healthy. For example, chocolate bars, candies, granola bars, crackers, potato chips, fruit punches and soft drinks are all loaded with unnecessary calories, fats and sugar. In addition, most snack foods fail to provide your body with the important nutrients it needs for optimal health. The increased prevalence of overweight and obesity can be attributed to many reasons, one of them being an increased calorie intake. Americans consumed 570 more calories every day -- compared to just over three decades ago -- and most of these calories come from snacking. Most people snack not just because they are hungry. Food availability contributes to snacking. For example, if you are at a meeting and muffins, bagels or donuts are available, you are likely to snack and consume more calories than your body needs. Other people snack because they need something to spice up their boring afternoon. Although a bag of potato chips could make your boring job seems more bearable for a few seconds, the negative effect on your waistline is probably not worth it.
