If you’re one of those people who are constantly on the go (and who isn’t these days?) and you want to stick with a strict diet either for your weight loss plan or to keep fat off of those lean and mean muscles, you should check out this list of the top 10 nutritional munchies. Hitting the road with these will help to meet your dietary needs.

Raw Almonds – Almonds are both nutritional and filling. Eating a small portion occasionally will help you steer clear of unhealthy snacks while you’re out and about. Almonds abide at the top of the nutritional nut tree, providing a rich source of vitamin E, magnesium and fiber. They also provide protein, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus and monounsaturated fat. Besides being a nutritious snack, almonds have also been linked to lowering high cholesterol.

Pistachios – These nutty nuggets are a dieter’s best friend because they are quite effective in helping to burn off belly fat. Besides that big plus, pistachios are choked full of lean protein for muscle growth and B vitamins for energy, nerve health, strong immune system and a serene mood. You also get more than 30 other vitamins, minerals and other healthy nutrients in a one-ounce serving. Pistachios also help regulate sugar levels.

Baby Carrots – Take along a container of these tasty, crisp and colorful snacks and you can munch till your heart’s… er stomach’s content. They are super low in calories and fat, yet high in vitamin A and fiber. Dip them in some peanut butter or mix with cauliflower and broccoli for added taste and nutrition. Carrots have been proven to boost proper vision and help fight against cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Sliced Cucumbers – A refreshing snack, cucumber slices are both nutritious and thirst quenching due to their high water content. Cucumbers are low in sugar yet high in vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, zinc and folic acid.

Hummus with Veggies – Hummus is a popular fitness snack because it is packed with protein (several grams in one serving). It is an awesome dip addition to healthy vegetables which increases your nutrient intake. If you can’t find hummus, try making your own using garbanzo beans mashed together with olive oil, garlic and sesame seed paste (tahini).

Bananas – These tropical delights have always been an on-the-go favorite due to their pleasant taste, burst of energy and self-contained packaging. Bananas are especially good, healthy snacks to grab on the way to the gym because they pack a good dose of energy due to their high vitamin B6 content. These yellow wonders are also great sources of potassium, vitamin C and fiber.

Apple Slices – Another tasty finger food, sliced apples are super low in calories and come in a variety of flavors, colors and textures. Be sure to eat them with the skin as almost half of their vitamin C content abides there. Remember, an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Air-Popped Popcorn – Here’s an on-the-go snack that you can eat throughout the day without a problem. Low in calories and high in fiber, air-popped popcorn is a wonderfully light and healthy snack due to its being mostly air. One cup of this crunchy corn only contains 0.4 grams of fat and 31 calories. If you find it to be a bit bland, add a dash or two of cinnamon, chili powder, vinegar & pepper, or paprika to spice it up.

Nonfat Yogurt – This is definitely another favorite of weight loss dieters and weightlifters alike due to its being a high source of protein and calcium and being low in fat. It also contains vitamin B2, iodine and phosphorus and provides your digestive system with plenty of good bacteria.

High Protein Shake – An excellent on-the-go snack is a whipped up protein shake. The great thing about these puppies is that you can make a huge variety of flavors that fit both your particular taste and dietary needs. Most of these top 10 healthy foods can be added as well as a whole host of other fruits, vegetables and other nutritious goodies.
