Do you ever wonder if snacking between meals is something you shouldn’t be doing?
For a lot of people, snacks come with a weird little side of guilt. You may have heard that snacking is unhealthy, that you should only eat at mealtimes, or that needing food between meals means you’re somehow doing something wrong. And when you’re trying to build more trust with your body, it can feel confusing to know when snacks are helpful, when they’re needed, and how to make them feel more satisfying.
In today’s episode, you’ll hear part four of the Tiny Talks series with my six-year-old daughter. We’re talking all things snacks—why they matter, what can happen when you wait too long to eat, and how to think about snack foods in a way that feels simple instead of stressful. It’s funny, very unscripted, and a sweet reminder that snacks don’t have to be a problem to fix.
A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…
🐠 My six-year-old’s very strong feelings about a certain beloved snack food
😅 What can happen when you show up to dinner a little too ready to eat
