Can I Add Snacks to the Meal Plan?
Ideas for healthy snacking
Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating provides balanced, portion-controlled meal plans to support your health goals.
On our Dietitian-Designed Plans, 2–3 daily servings of dairy are included in the nutrition calculations but not provided. You can enjoy them as recommended or use the 200–300 “Flex Calories” to substitute with healthy snacks from this guide—or combine dairy and snacks to boost your overall calorie intake.
If you’re on a Choose Your Own Meals plan, this guide can also help you add smart snacks to meet your calorie needs.
