in Health and Weight Loss
Hey Everyone !
I've recently started my weight loss journey and the only thing I seem to be having a problem with is in between meals when you really feel like you need that extra little snack.

What are some things you guys munch on that are healthy? I know a lot of people suggest nuts and berries but im looking for more ideas more outside of the box (homemade energy bites etc)

    I keep 100 calorie popcorn, no sugar added applesauce, and light hot chocolate (recipe below) in my desk drawer. I always pack veggies and fruit with my lunch......I generally save the fruit until after lunch.

    Mornings I don't need a snack. Breakfast is filling for me. Mid afternoon & after dinner are my designated snack times. This will be a bit of a learning curve. Meal & snack timing; tweaking your macros to tide you over.

    Yummy hot chocolate
    3Qts Dry Milk
    1 cup Splenda
    1/2 cup Baking cocoa
    1 small (1.4oz) small package Chocolate pudding, sugar free instant
    Optional.....1/4 C Coffee Mate for creaminess

    Are you meaning that you want your box of choices to have homemade energy bites IN it or OUT of it?

    What calorie budget do you want to set for snacks? Do you want that in one big chunk or in many small bits? The world is full of choices, from apples and peaches under 100 calories to Hershey Kisses for 25 calories.

    At any given time in my desk drawer I have several 100 calorie pack snack options. Right now I have some Fiber One Baked Bars, Weight Watchers brownies, and Jello fruit cups in there. Some days I'll pack string cheese with my lunch to have for a snack. I also like the 100 calorie packs of popcorn.

    As for what choices you'll make, you have to consider what kind of calorie goals you have and the calorie budget you have for snacks as a result. My calorie goal is a bit low, so I stick to snacks with 100 calories or less. This gives me some wiggle room to have multiple snacks if I am hungrier that day and still make my calorie goals by the end of the day.
