Yes. I snack on raw celery with a thin scraping of peanut butter, limited number of baby carrots (carbs!), sliced sweet peppers, pickles, and raw mushrooms. Filling and holds me until diner. Plus it's fun to crunch!

1/2 a vanilla OUI yogurt between lunch and dinner. Why a 1/2 even though they are small? Too much sugar and they are full fat. I wait for the day there is a low fat, low sugar (NO artificial sweetener) good tasting yogurt.

Sometimes. Yesterday I had fruit for breakfast, then a big lunch, then came home and had an apple, then dinner.

Sometimes I'm more hungry, sometimes less hungry.

I often dip a spoon into our jar of Skippy around 4pm. that gets me to dinner which is around 6. Don't eat again until around 11am the next day.

I have a snack around 3 or 4. I work out before dinner, so we don’t eat until 7 - 7:30z

You mean you’re diabetic?

Rarely. If I do, I likely had a not-filling-enough salad for lunch.

I have a protein bar around 4/5, or finish any of my lunch that is left over (like the other half of my wrap or whatever it was). Otherwise I get so hungry I eat crap.

I usually have a handful of peanuts around 5pm and this helps me not binge as much at dinner

I have a cheese stick on my way home from work.

I have some greek yogurt and an Rx bar mid afternoon. My afternoons are really busy so i really need a substantial snack. My dinner is usually pretty light. I'm not trying to lose though- just maintain

have an apple it will buy you about 2 hours of non hunger time

The total calories is all that matters for fat loss. I would have that snack to avoid being super hungry and bingeing later.

Which is true - you should just eat 2-3 meals a day and no snacks, or have a snack to stave off overeating? What do you do?

I tend to eat breakfast mid-morning, then lunch around 1. But often I can’t get dinner on the table until 7 due to my commute, and by the time I get home I’m famished and snacking on crap when I come in the door. Should I just push lunch later or have a snack? (I’m trying to lose about 40 pounds).
