i usually get decently hungry between lunch and dinner and veggies just don't satisfy me until supper. Any ideas?

    What do you like? How many calories do you have to work with?

    I like a Quest bar at that time of day. You could have a greek yogurt with your favorite mix ins. I don't know. Whatever you like as long as it fits!

    I typically pick protein as a base and try and fit the other macros in. So it could be hummus and crackers, peanut butter and celery, hiker's mix, or half a protein bar.

    Cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs, veggies- I like baby carrots, popcorn (you can air pop for less calories, or get 100 calorie microwave bags), protein bars, those little pouches of peanut butter....

    I like laughing cow cheese on celery or triscuit crackers, hard boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, almond butter on celery, apples or whole grain bread, cheese sticks, edamame.

    I know you said No Veggies, but roasted (and cooled) edamame is really pretty yummy, IMO. If you have 1000 calories left, some nuts!

    Fruits are always good. Granola - yum! A hard boiled egg.

    With 1000 calories, you could really have anything you want. :)

    Honestly, a lot of my "snacks" are meal-type items, just in smaller portions. When it's cold, I like to make myself a bowl of oats (1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup water, 1tbsp maple syrup, cinnamon/chocolate chips/vanilla/fruit as desired). Sometimes, I'll open a can of chickpeas, rinse them, and eat 1/2 cup with a couple of tablespoons of sour cream. Or I'll steam a whole bunch of veggies or cook a whole bunch of quinoa/rice at the beginning of the week and reheat it as snacks whenever I feel hungry invetween meals. I also like to get those little precooked breakfast sausages from the freezer aisle and reheat 2-3 of them as a snack sometimes. I also like to make extra pancakes or biscuits when I cook breakfast occasionally, freeze them, and reheat them when I'm craving a little breakfast food.

    Try eating 1lb of steamed broccoli, cabbage, or cauliflower with some seasonings/hot sauce/mustard. Bet that'll keep you full for 3 hours
