[10 marks]
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
1

Between school, homework, sports, your after-school job, and hanging out with friends,
it may feel like theres no time for healthy eating. When you do stop to eat, it is probably
tempting to go the quick and easy route by grabbing a burger and fries, potato chips, or candy.
But it is possible to treat yourself to a healthy snack. In fact, If you have a hectic schedule, it is
even more important to eat healthy foods that give you the fuel you need to keep going.
You may have noticed that you feel hungry a lot. This is natural because during
adolescence, a persons body demands more nutrients to grow. Snacks are a terrific way to
satisfy hunger and get all the vitamins and nutrients your body needs. But you need to pay
attention to what you eat. Stuffing your face with a large order of fries after class may give you
a temporary boost, but a snack this high in fat and calories will only slow you down in the long
run.
Snacking on nutritious food can keep your energy level high and your mind alert
without taking up a lot of your time. Smart snacking can help keep you going until your next
full meal. So, if you are on the late lunch plan but eat breakfast at 6 am, toss some fruit or trail
mix into you backpack. That way you will not feel tempted to grab less healthy vending
machine snacks between classes.
To keep energy levels going and avoid weight gain, steer clear of foods with lots of
simple carbohydrate like candy bars or soda. Look for foods that contain complex
carbohydrates like whole-grain breads and cereals and combine them with protein-rich snacks
such as peanut butter or low-fat yogurt or cheese. Practise smart snacking strategies that will
help to keep you healthy. There are many ways to make healthy snacking part of your everyday
routine. Prepare healthy snacks in advance. Did you know that you can make your own granola
or trail mix? When you make something yourself, you get to control the ingredients and put in
whats good for you! You can also keep plenty of fresh fruit and veggies at home so you can
grab them on the go. Cut up melons or vegetables like celery and carrots in advance. Keep the
servings in bags in the fridge, ready to grab and go.
Keep healthy snacks with you. Make it a habit to stash some fruit, whole-grain crackers,
or baby carrots in your backpack or workout bag so you always have some healthy food
nearby. Half a cheese sandwich also makes a great snack to have on standby. Make your snacks
interesting. Healthy snacking does not have to be boring as long as you give yourself a variety
of choices. Whole-wheat pretzels with spicy mustard, rice cakes with peanut butter and raisins
or low-fat fruit yogurt are healthy, tasty, and easy.
Satisfy cravings with healthier approaches. If youre crazy for chocolate, try a hot
chocolate drink instead of a chocolate bar. An 8-ounce mug of hot chocolate has only 140
calories and 3 grams of fat. A chocolate bar, on the other hand, has 230 calories and 13 grams
of fat. Always read serving size information. What looks like a small package of cookies can
contain 2 or more servings, which means double or triple the amount of fat or calories, and
sugar shown on the label. Do not snack after dinner. Evenings can be attempting time to
indulge in sugary, fatty snacks. If you are really feeling hungry, do not ignore it. Instead, pick
the right snacks to fill the hunger gap. Whole-wheat fig bars, rice cakes, or air-popped popcorn

can do the trick, as can fruit paired with cheese or yogurt.

Before buying snacks you need to judge whether they are healthy. Choosing healthy
snacks means shopping smart. There are some things to watch out for. Be cautious of the health
claims on food packages. Just because something is all natural or pure does not necessarily
mean that it is nutritious. For example, all natural juice drinks or sodas can be filled with
sugar but all that sugar means they will be high in calories and give you little nutrition. Besides
that you should always check the nutrition facts label on the package to be sure. For granola
bars can be a good source of certain vitamins and nutrients but many also contain a great deal
of fat, including a particularly harmful type of fat called trans-fat. They also contain a lot of
sugar. You should be sceptical of low-fat food claims, too. If the fat has been eliminated or cut
back, the amount of sugar in the food may have increased to keep the food tasting good. Many
low-fat foods have nearly as many calories as their full-fat versions. Whatever claims a food
manufacturer writes on the front of the package, you can judge whether the food is healthy for
you. It is important to read the ingredients and the nutrition information on the food label.
As with everything, moderation is the key to smart snacking. People who eat regular
meals and healthy snacks are less likely to overeat and gain weight than people who skip meals
or go for long periods without eating and then stuff down a large order of fries. So practise
smart snacking.
