I often work the night shift. What snacks should I prepare?

Snacks prepared by working overtime for a long time should not only supplement energy, but also be nutritious and healthy. Of course, milk or yogurt is the first snack that can meet these two requirements.

Milk is a highly recommended food. Because milk has high nutritional value, it contains high-quality protein, calcium and vitamins. Are all needed by the human body. It is not only rich in calcium, but also has high digestibility of whey protein and cheese protein, and the proportion of amino acids meets the needs of human body. It is also rich in vitamin A and vitamin B2, and it is a healthy food suitable for almost everyone. If you are lactose intolerant, yogurt is more suitable for you. Lactose in milk is converted into lactic acid after fermentation by special strains. Without lactose, there would be no symptoms of lactose intolerance. Moreover, this fermentation process has no damage to the nutrients of milk, which will further promote digestion and absorption.

Nuts are recommended for the second category of healthy snacks, such as walnuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts, pistachios and almonds. They are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and the content of protein is above 15%. The calcium content of fried hazelnut is as high as 8 15 mg/ 100 g, which is higher than that of milk and bean products. The potassium content of watermelon seeds is 6 12 mg/ 100. So besides being delicious, it is also good for your health.

However, it should be noted that most nuts are not short of fat, and the fat content is above 40%. For example, walnut contains 58.8% fat, hickory contains 74.27% fat and macadamia contains 76.0% fat. If you have hyperglycemia or hyperlipidemia, or have a lot of meat, you should carefully choose nuts as snacks.

Then the third snack can consider low-energy and low-fat fruits. Fruit is characterized by low energy and fat, but it contains many nutrients, especially vitamin C, carotene and dietary fiber. Carotene in citrus is as high as 890μ g/100g, vitamin C in kiwi fruit is 47mg/100g, and potassium in banana is 256g/100g. Moreover, sweet fruit can help you adjust your tired and boring overtime.
