    I keep my three main meals between 900-1000 calories and adjust my snack depending on my exercise on the day. On a day I don't exercise I snack on fruits like blueberries, strawberries and low calorie cereal bars. On the days I do exercise I snack on nuts, flapjacks and higher calorie cereal bars.

    Plan your snacks!

    Got to the grocery store and find healthy snacks that are appealing to you and then plan for them. It is actully easier for me to stay on track when I plan the day before. It is also easier not to give into things when i know I am allowing myself to eat between meals.

    Snacks are figured in ahead of time and don't consist of sugar based snacks, Just nuts, fruits, raw veggies and nut butters. I probably could get by without snacks but i'm generally always under 300 cals or more a day roughly even with snacks. Check my diary i eat plenty.
  • I have fairly low calorie meals - sticking to low calorie, high density things like fruit, veg, lean meat, rice, potatoes with no fat added and low/ no fat items like 0.1% fat yogurt, cottage cheese or fromage frais instead of full fat stuff like cream. I fill up on the meals, which leaves me quite a lot of calories left for snacks. some snacks are healthy but i will ahve choc or cake - just not as much as i used to!! I know i don't HAVE to have the snacks but if i didn't i think i'd go insane!!!
