Mid-morning and mid-afternoon Snacks

Fayeworth

Hello. I've been on MFP for about 3 years and have lost about 2 stone (although 5 pound of that has gone back on over Christmas). Anyway, I'd like to lose a further stone, perhaps more. I find the most difficult times of the day around 11am and 3pm as I'm not quite ready for lunch or dinner but start to feel hungry. I have tried all sorts of snacks over the years (fruit, breadsticks, ricecakes, ryvita etc) but nothing seems fill me for long.

Can anyone recommend any particularly filling healthy snack?

I like protein best for snacks. A spoonful (weighed) of nut butter on celery. Hard boiled eggs with sriracha. I don't eat much cheese, but my kids love 'em... cheese sticks. Some almonds.

I have the exact same issue where I need a snack around 10am-11am and 3pm because I eat breakfast early. I pack 1/4 cup of raw pecans or almonds, half of a cucumber raw (or whole cucumber if it's a small one), mango slices, half or whole red bell pepper slices, one apple with almond butter, eggs. I usually eat eggs for breakfast so I don't bring hard boiled eggs with me for a snack, but that's definitely a good option. I rotate most of these and bring two snacks a day to work or out with me. I hope this helps!

I agree with mamapeach... I get pretty hungry these times of the day as well. I do something protein rich, either a bar, peanut butter with a banana or apple, hummus, greek yogurt, granola, nuts or string cheese.

I do almonds and an apple sometimes I'll have almond butter instead of almonds. Just watch your intake because the calories can add up.
