Key Takeaways
AINutrition experts have confirmed that there is no single ideal time for everyone to eat snacks.
They added that the timing depends on an individual’s daily diet, lifestyle, and how their body responds to blood sugar levels after meals, according to the Health website.
Experts noted that blood sugar levels typically return to normal if there is a gap of two to three hours between main meals and snacks.
They also emphasized that some people may need a snack if more than four to five hours pass between meals, or if they engage in physical activity that uses up more energy.
