Slideshow: dietician serves up 10 healthy snacks for your active child (Photos)

Do you have a child who's an "energizer bunny?" Whether it's the excitement of the Special Olympics or an ongoing love of after-school sports, it's important to provide the right snacks before, during, and after these beneficial activities. A fat reducing overview can help you establish a clear outline of what you need to focus on to accomplish your fat burning target if you're a novice; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an intermediate or more advance stage of their weight loss plan. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your personal weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss programs have misled people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by producing a person's body to reduce more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Registered dietician Heather Mangieri specializes in sports nutrition and weight management. A spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, she is the proud mom of a special needs child. Here are 10 healthy snacks that she recommends:

1. Before a workout, offer your child toast with peanut butter and jelly coupled with a piece of fruit.
2. Cereal topped with half of a sliced banana and milk also makes a great pre-workout snack.
3. Do you have a child who loves cookies? Try graham crackers and string cheese before the big game.
4. During a workout, make sure your child gets enough water or other beverages. If it's a high intensity sport, Heather says that a sports drink may be beneficial.
5. After exercise, serve up applause for your child with a serving of yogurt topped with berries.
6. Half of a turkey sandwich nested next to half of a banana makes another great post-workout snack.
7. Chocolate milk with an orange will make most kids smile.
8. Try pretzels and a single serving of string cheese for kids who like to munch.
9. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a traditional favorite and a great snack as well.
10. Provide watermelon and orange slices to help meet hydration needs. Click here to read about more great ways to keep your kids and teens hydrated.

Want to try concocting a healthy snack on your own? A healthy snack should include both carbs for energy and protein for recovery and repair, says Heather. "How much you eat depends on how soon the activity will be taking place. The longer you have before an event, the more food your system can handle. Before an activity, keep the snack low in fiber and fat as these take longer to digest than simple carbohydrates."
