The snacking phenomenon..

PaulaWallaDingDong

I just like snack foods, so I work them in.

I snack in between meals when I start to feel hungry. I have breakfast around 7:30, a snack at 10, lunch at 12:30, a snack around 3:00 and supper around 6:00 on a typical weekday/work day. When I'm home on the weekends I am usually off schedule and snack less.

I'm not a snacker, but I label my daily afternoon green smoothie as a 'snack' since it's between my two main meals.

I snack when I am hungry or when I am starting to feel hungry and the next meal isn't in sight. I get very hangry so I try to snack when I need to.

I usually have a mid afternoon snack and an early evening snack...I don't eat dinner until 8:30 usually, so noon to 8:30 is a long time to go without food. Usually some nuts and fruit for my afternoon snack...evening snack is just whatever.

I rarely snack between meals. Occasionally I'll have chips & salsa while dinner is cooking on the weekend.

Monday-Friday I eat an ounce of wasabi almonds at 10AM (breakfast at 6 and lunch at 12) and a banana before the gym at 4. I eat the almonds to take the edge off of my mid morning hunger (and help meet my fat macro which I set pretty high) and the banana to give myself some carbs before my workout. I guess my snacks are pretty lame but I do love those almonds.

Almost never. I'm just not a snacks person. Even when I didn't care at all about calories, the only time I would snack was if coworkers/family brought me a random brownie or donut or something like that.

The only time I have a snack now is when I am going on a big hike or something else very physical before lunch and have a protein bar or some nuts...or if I've just done one of those things and it's a long while until dinner, then I may get ice cream or something, more like a dessert before my evening meal.

I eat when I'm hungry. I usually eat dinner at 6 and go to bed at 1 or 2:00. That leads to snacks every couple of hours on some days, especially if I run longer or harder. My hunger is usually a pretty good indicator that I haven't eaten enough.

Never really been a snacking sort of person. I much prefer to just have larger meals. In the evening, I leave space between my main meal and what I count as dessert (Greek Yoghurt with nuts, seeds & fruit). I suppose the main thing I have that I would consider a snack is the individual serving of breakfast biscuits I take to bed with me.

Snacks help keep my blood sugar normal and prevents those lulls, personally. I tend to have a small one between breakfast and lunch, then another small, protein-based one after the gym, between lunch and dinner.

I love to snack! Watching football with coffee and a snack in my Jammie's on the couch. Just describing what my Sunday afternoon will look like this week!

I normally have a protein bar for an afternoon snack around 3:00.

I don't snack. Having cookies and ice cream because you work out is a bad habit. If you must snack, at least make it worth the calories. You may be under your daily goal but not putting fuel in your body. After all, that is all food is and like a car, it doesn't run right with the wrong fuel.

I feel the urge to snack much less now that I have higher protein and lower carb meals. (I'm not low carb, but did find reducing them helpful.)

I try not to so that I can have a bigger dinner but sometimes I do and it's because I'm hungry or because there's some type of food available that I want to eat

I snack at work but I try to make them small (fruit, etc.). It helps me feel full and not as hangry that I may otherwise get.

lemurcat12

I don't. I prefer not to and to just eat regular meals.

For a lot of years I had some pretty intense low blood sugar crashes. Even though the doc said I was in the normal range I started eating more of a hypoglycemic/diabetic diet. Higher protein, less refined carbs and more frequently throughout the day. So I snack because I don't like those crashes, they're like hangry on steroids. I eat three moderate meals and three small snacks a day and rarely have a crash anymore.

I don't know. I just eat all the *kitten* time. I have like no self control.
