Of course corn pakoda is a great snack for the evenings, but with that if you see the total calories it adds to your body, it is not really healthy. Less proteins with more fats and carbs which means, it is not a healthy snacking option in the long run. Relying on such options rarely doesn’t really upset health, but regular practice of including it in your diet is of course not a good idea. You should try to pick anything that is nutritious in nature. Protein bars can be your best option on any snacks. It gives you those essential calories that your body actually needs and regularly relying on these tasty bars is never going to cause any harm. So think twice before you choose a snack for the evening.
