Definition

  • What is a snack? When the word “snack” is mentioned, a mental picture comes to mind, but from a nutritional standpoint, there is no consistent definition. Nutritional scientists who study snacks generally define snacks as foods eaten between meals, but snacks can also be defined as foods not intended to be eaten as meals.
