    You can eat some almonds, or a protein bar?!

    Usually a Greek Yogurt or apple/orange/banana.

    I eat all the above for my 'snack' between breakfast and lunch! :happy:

    Not sure if anybody mentioned this yet, but if you can, plan 5 small meals that incorporates protein, fat and carbs. I know not everybody can take the time to eat 5 times in a day, but eating roughly every 3 hours keeps you feeling full. This is what I do and works for me, but some people can function on just one meal a day. I prefer 5 small meals. Snacking doesn't cut it for me.
    Best of luck and hope you find something that works for you.

    My lunch comes so soon after breakfast that there is no need for me to eat anything. Then comes that long wait for dinner, but my two most important meals - breakfast and lunch - keep me strong till dinner cause they are the bulk of my calories.

    instead of plain water I make a big pitcher of decaf black and green tea sweetened with a little stevia & lemon juice
    - i always try to drink this when I start feeling hunger pangs because often i'm thirsty and not really hungry

    if I need a between meal snack its one of these;
    -ff greek yogurt with frozen blueberries
    -I carry a little tube of roasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds in my purse (i'm allergic to nuts but you could try a variety of nuts/seeds for those who are not.. keep to unsalted wherever possible)
    and i'll toss back a mouthful of those - the protein from just a mere mouthful can tide me over for quite a long time
    -a mandarin or cutie orange
    -a light string cheese stick
    -a bag of chopped red/yellow/orange peppers tucked away in the fridge at work
    -half an apple - pectin is actually a natural appetite suppressant
    -half an organic multigrain fig bar (from costco), again just a little goes a long way

    I just have some Nancy's plain yogurt with a small bit of jam mixed in. Maybe a banana too, if I'm really hungry. You'd be amazed how "filling" some yogurt actually is, and it's good for the micro-organisms in your gut.

    peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a turkey and cheese sandwich--more substantial than a snack but not enough for lunch.

    1. Broccoli and Cauliflower and Celery as a snack.
    2. On light breakfast days - a Quest bar.
    3. Sometimes - 100 calorie bag of popcorn.

    something with protein would probably be good maybe tuna on crackers, avocado with salt and pepper, and you can keep nuts at your desk/in your car to snack on if you feel light headed.

    I do not normally eat in between breakfast and lunch. My schedule is so hectic and varies greatly, I do not have a normal meal schedule. It literally changes from day to day. Sometimes I get light headed at work as well. Yesterday I worked out for 90 minutes ( intense ) and then I had to go to work for 6 hours in the evening. I felt very dizzy even after I had my "lunch" break ( dinner time for me ).

    chicken mixed with a flavored cream cheese; or chopped up fruit; or oatmeal. you can literally eat almost whatever your little heart desires to eat between b'fast and lunch. or any time of day, for that matter.
