Fruits with peels, like bananas or apples, are good choices to take to work or when you're on the go. Cashews, almonds, and hazelnuts are high in magnesium, which plays a key role in converting sugar to energy. They're also filled with fiber to keep your blood sugar levels even and protein to stave off hunger. Keep a bag of mixed nuts or trail mix in your purse or desk drawer to stay energetic all day.
'Energy dense' is a polite way of saying something is high in calories. If you're only able to eat small snacks or infrequent meals, it's a good idea to choose foods that are higher in calories. Healthy energy dense foods include cheese, nuts or nut butter, avocados and legumes. Add your favorite sauce, dressing, shredded or melted cheese, butter, or gravy to a serving of potatoes, rice or pasta, to boost your caloric intake.
