Still Hungry?
Do you ever wonder why you crave snacks in the middle of the day? There is a physiological reason to the snack drawer in most offices. Most people understand the body’s need for carbohydrates, fats, and protein, but did you know that an effective diet represents balanced intake from all three groups? These are the nutrients that create energy in the body to burn calories and keep your body running on full. Carbs are usually seen as the preferred source of energy because they are the easiest to be broken down and is the body’s main source for fuel. Rather than simple carbs, complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and vegetables, contain dietary fiber which slowly releases energy to contribute to a feeling of fullness. Fats, although mostly the cause of excess weight on the body, can actually be very beneficial. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in nuts and fish can contribute to neurological and cardiovascular health. Coconut and palm oil also contain fats known as MCT’s which has been proven to support weight loss. Lastly, protein, the healthiest of these macronutrients, contributes to satiety and blood sugar control. It also supports the makeup of lean muscle and enzymes.
Skipping meals and the consumption of “empty calories” provides short lived energy that only causes you to crave junk again later. To effectively maintain or lose weight, your body needs calories for energy! The goal should be to try to consume healthy snacks balanced with carbs, fats, and protein, every two to four hours. So before you stick your hand in the candy drawer, ask yourself if it’s really the best food choice. A combination of the proper nutrients will give your body the nourishment it needs all day long.

Recipe of the Month: Asparagus and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 asparagus spears, trimmed - divided
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
Directions
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
- Place 4 spears of asparagus down the center of a chicken breast, and spread about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the asparagus. Repeat with the other chicken breast, and roll the chicken around the asparagus and cheese to make a tidy, compact roll. Place the rolls seam sides down in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear when pricked with a fork, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
