Snacking

I do very well all day .. then around 4pm I could eat my right arm. It's too early for dinner so a snack is usually ok. I would love some ideas for filling snacks. Sometimes I have english cucumber dipped in salsa, or carrots and hummus. Unfortunately, these are healthy yet not as filling. I don't want carbs, but would love something different. any suggestions?

Greek yogurt0

Usually fruit and Greek yogurt, nuts, cheese, or nut butter. I know, fruit is carbs, but the fiber really helps.0
-
Broccoli, nuts, tofu!0

Are you more hungry at night than in the morning? Could you try eating more of your calories in the evening when you're ready to eat your arm?
Snacks: Apples, jerky, yogurt, bit of hummus with veggies, avocado (I'm weird and eat them with salt and hot sauce).0 -
Hard boiled eggs, apples and peanut butter, Greek yogurt, beef or turkey jerky, string cheese, nuts, protein bars0

Greek yogurt is my go-to afternoon snack for the same reason. I am fine between breakfast and lunch (9ish to 1pm-ish) but then I get snacky in the afternoon. I learned to space it out by having coffee/tea mid-afternoon, then a greek yogurt at 4.0

I find the timing is important. If I eat before I get home, I won't raid the fridge. Also, I'd have planned my snack in the morning when I was thinking clearly.0

My afternoon snack is almost always a cheese stick wrapped in a few slices of a lunch meat and some mustard. I need protein right at about the same time as you otherwise I eat while I cook dinner!0

I have no luck with snacks. A truly low calorie one does nothing for me. My latest strategy is to eat only 3 or 4 times per day, and make the meals slightly larger than my first instinct. I'm getting used to being a little hungry in the afternoon, and accepting that I'm not going to starve to death before dinner. Just a suggestion.0

questionfear.. Yes I try to do same. coffee for sure. I found QUIRK it's awesome!! it tasted like greek yogurt but it's actually a cheese mixture. That helps and i wish I liked cottage cheese..0

Thanks Jeremynotsofat. I do try that sometimes but I found I'm better off with smaller meals and a snack. That is why I'm trying to find something a little interesting. so bored. I did buy PB2 That is awesome0

brb That is a good idea ..0

Porridge!0
-
Porridge? I don't even know how or where to make porridge lol0
-
Greek yogurt and an apple
cheese, fruit and nuts
Those are my two favorite go to snacks0 -
1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt (Fage), a chopped walnut, cinnamon and a teaspoon of honey-178 delicious and satisfying calories!0

Pink Porridge sounds great... but I've only heard of it in goldilocks and the 3 bears. ha ha wish we had it here in US0
-
WE have cream of wheat0
-
Hummis and sesame rice crackers. You can have 16 crackers for 120 cal and 2 tbsp of hummis for 40 cal. Very filling0
-
If I get hungry mid-day I drink 2 glasses of water, a cup of coffee and finish off with an apple!0
-
You might find better luck googling quark and hummus. Both are fine with crudites or crackers.0
-
I like quest bars, kay's naturals snacks(jalapeno honey mustard and cinnamon sticks esp.), banana, apple, or grapes.0

Sargento makes this little packages called Balanced Breaks...it's a portion of cheese cubes, fruit and nuts. They are 180 calories. I've been eating them for snacks lately.0
-
My afternoon snack is usually a protein bar - I love Luna Chocolate Cupcake. Keeps me going strong until dinner.0

Its just oatmeal! You can buy the same sort of pre packaged cups mentioned in the cereal aisle if you're wanting to give it a shot. Quaker has some varieties with dried fruits and nuts that are pretty tasty. They'd be too high cal for me for a snack but if I made it myself I would consider it as a good option. Oats have lots of fiber and enough protein to stave off hunger for a while.0 -
I do a bar (power bar or zone perfect) or sometimes just a bunch if veggies like corn and green beans.0
-
I do a protein shake around 2:30-3:00. Typically 1 scoop protein, 100g fat free plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup milk, and 150-200g frozen fruit. Keeps me full until supper!0
