I am doing great so far with my calorie counting, but it's that in-between meals snacking that is making me miserable. It's making me miserable because I have the urge to put something in my mouth, whether I'm hungry or not. This usually happens around 2:00 PM and then around 7:00 or 8:00PM. My problem is I dont usually have enough calories left for a snack. Even if I did, I need some ideas on some good, low-carb snacks.

    I eat 3 meals and 3 snacks so I always have a snack to look forward to, even if its a 50 calorie string cheese or 14 almonds, or a yogurt. you can look at my diary

    I eat celery or cucumbers with hummus. I tried just eating the veggies alone and it doesn't satisfy me. The hummus makes all the difference! If I can't have that then I grab an apple.

    Today I was bolting out the door and grabbed a Trader Joe's Trail Mix bar just in case. I hope I don't eat it since I'm already looking to go over my calories... But if I get hungry... At least I know it's only 150.

    A tip that I found useful. Eat the snacks slow.... Take a bite, put it down and do something. Then come back to it.

    you can work an exercise routine into the day, or eat lots of grapes and strawberries. they are low in calorie and delicious: so is cool whip.
