what time of day do you get hit with the urge to snack and what do you do when you get the urge to snack?? for me its mid afternoon i find myself going through the pantry to see what i can eat, and in the evening after kids go to bed. i need to find low cal snacks and make myself eat more fruits and veggies for those snack attacks!

    For me, it's about 4 o'clock. And I crave something sweet-a cookie, a brownie...I've started packing either a Kashi bar or a Pure bar in my lunch for snack time. It helps.

    I have 3 planned snack times a day. Mini meals I guess - calorie wise.

    I usually keep to veggies and a dip (hummus with peppers, cauliflower/broccoli with sour cream/dill) and then in the afternoons its the prework out snack of cheese stick with crackers.

    Then there is the dreaded desert snack - its terrible - if I'm bored - LOOK out! I become neolithic and "hunt/gather" anything that's sweet. So I've started stocking sweets (frozen sorbet bars, or fruit and nut bars) that I can down size a traditional portion to lower the calories. I don't need a huge piece of cake just a couple of bites and I'm satisfied - so now I make sure I have the mini sizes available.

    It is a sweet craving for me too, usually a chocolate chip or two takes care of it, but i really need to find some gluten free options that are low calorie, and not too expensive, not an easy mission!
