Ugghhh my worst hunger time is after I get off of work until it's time for supper. I do have a healthy snack at 3:00 but still seem to struggle. Anyone else?

    Make sure you have another healthy snack for when you finish work... for the commute home. Don't go home starving.

    I do a snack at around 3pm like you - but it isigreek yogurt with plenty of protein. Seems to hold me until dinner. Although, when I was just starting out ten months ago, I'd be very hungry and grouchy by dinnertime! So hang in there!,

    If I'm working at home I usually have a good snack with protein around 4-ish, and that tides me over until dinner at 6-6:30. If I'm working on campus, I usually save a little something from my lunch (an apple, baby carrots, etc.) to snack on in the car on the (hour-long) drive home, because I find I get starving on the way (must be anticipation for the yummy dinner to come!) Oh, and I also make sure I have a big jug of water to swig on during the commute!

    Go ahead and snack. Eat something during your commute or immediately when you get home. If you try to hold off until dinner you will likely "taste" a lot while dinner is cooking and will be ravenous when you finally sit down to eat. I like to keep raw veggies in the fridge for these occasions.

    I experience the same thing. Sometimes, it seems to be the need for more H2O in the afternoon. I usually try some gum on the way home to keep me mouth occupied. Or, I will do the old baseball player bit with a mouth full of sunflower seeds in the shell. That option is less attractive to others though with a cup full of spit out hulls.
