Q: Sometimes in the evenings I feel very hungry but I don’t take anything to eat because I am scared I will gain weight. Please suggest some healthy low calorie snacks? I am 19 years old and weigh 70 kg.

A:There are many options for healthy snacks, which are low in calories also. Few of them are: - * boiled channa chat. * Steamed dhokla. * Dal dosas or pan cakes. * Fruit and sprout mix. * Whole-wheat vegetable sandwich. Other than these there are other roasted snacks available in the market. You can pick up few, & test at home. Take a handful of roasted snack and keep it in tissue paper & microwave for 20 seconds. If it leaves oil then be careful while eating. Also include at least 3-4 whole fruits in a day.
