Q: Is it better to work out in the morning or in the afternoon? Does it make a difference?

When it comes to exercise, make sure you find the “best” time for you! Research on exercise and time of day is growing but still limited and not without controversy. Consistent time for exercise will produce regular time of training and get quicker results. The key to regular workouts is to plan them just as any other appointment.

Snacking on the job.

Q: I sit at a desk 8 hours a day, what foods are best for snacking?

A: Plan ahead and avoid the vending machines at work. That bag of potato chips or candy bars are full of empty calories that will lead to weight gain and an energy crash. Pack walnuts and almonds for a nutrient dense snack. Be careful with your serving size because they do have high calories. A bag of 20 is a good serving to aim for. Fruit is another good snack to bring to curb your appetite throughout the day. Apples, oranges, and berries are all good choices.
