    As often as you feel hungry and you still have the calories left over for dinner. If you don't have the calories left over, you don't need to snack.

    What wkwebby said. BUT if you are used to snacking and don't want to stop, or if you must snack due to medical conditions, think about 5 or 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big meals plus snacks. I plan afternoon and evening snacks into my day because I KNOW I will snack. 8^)

    Same here. I'm new-ish, but I am already getting into the habit of planing ahead in the morning or even the day before what I will eat so I know I still have enough left for snacks. Yesterday I even have enough at the end of the day for cookies and milk.
