This playbook outlines a procedural approach to selecting snacks that are aligned with personal health goals. It emphasizes the importance of choosing nourishing options to maintain energy levels throughout the day.

### Step 1: Identify Goals
Define your health goals such as weight management, improved nutrition, or increased energy. Understanding your objectives will influence your snack choices.

### Step 2: Nutrient Focus
Opt for snacks that are high in nutrients. Look for options that provide a balance of vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

### Step 3: Portion Control
Determine appropriate portion sizes for your snacks to avoid overeating. Use measuring tools or read packaging labels to help manage portions.

### Step 4: Planning
Plan your snacks in advance. Prepare or portion out snacks ahead of time to ensure you have healthy options readily available when hunger strikes.

### Step 5: Timed Eating
Time your snacks to help manage hunger and energy levels. Eating a small, healthy snack between meals can prevent overeating during mealtime.

### Step 6: Smart Shopping
Create a shopping list with healthy snack options. Stick to your list when grocery shopping to avoid impulse purchases of less healthy snacks.

### Step 7: Mindful Eating
Practice mindful eating when snacking. Pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues to avoid mindless overeating.
