What do you guys do to settle that afternoon snack/craving that might cross your thoughts?! :yawn: I get tired and hungry around this time on a daily basis...well, only when I'm at the office.

    Lean protein & fruit. Cheese & apple or PB and banana or apple, something along those lines, lots of water, no bad carbs :) Hope this helps!

    Ill usually have a chobani yogurt or a cup of tea with a lorna doone 100 calorie pack. That usually does the trick.

    Snack on something crunchy- like an apple- and walk around a bit. The weather has been so nice here, I've even been taking a brisk walk around the building!
    This is always when I take my break in the afternoon because if I sit still too long, I'm not only on the verge of falling asleep, but also eating something sweet/chocolate-y to wake me up!

    Half a Clif bar, oatmeal raisin or blueberry, 120 calories. Chobani yogurt is for after dinner if calories permit.

    I usually drink a cup of coffee or have some yogurt, that usually helps with my cravings. Drinking lots of water is important too.

    almonds - 10 is half a serving - easily fits into a 100 calories snack and gives you some lasting energy. However sometimes nothing will do but chocolate - how about a teaspoon of nutella? Personally, I would have to have someone hand me the teaspoon and secure the jar lol. Considering how I dislike hazelnuts, this stuff is awesome!

    Sometimes a cup of tea or coffee with your favorite sweetener can fill the sweet bill and the hot liquids will help quell those hunger pains.

    I like to eat whatever I've planned for a snack (preferably something conducive to being eaten kinda slowly, like popcorn--the 100 cal kettle corn bags are good if you want something on the sweet side), but then what helps me the most is to announce to someone "OK, I'm done eating." (Obviously, it depends how comfortable you feel with whoever's around!)

    My newest sweet-tooth cure (aka obsession) are the Nature Valley granola thins that have dark chocholate on one side. 80 calories.
