I know that around this time i get the urge to grab something sweet or get really hungry. Everyday just like clockwork, I have been drinking tons of water when i get hungry to combat that urge. I have been eating every 2.5-3 hours and still get hungry at this time, i know this is normal, just wanted to know what is your 3'o clock temptations.

Coffee. I hit the 3 oclock slump and start thinking about yummy, delicious, coffee. YUmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
But I count it into my calories, and I fully expect to be having a cup of Kona every afternoon about... now0 -
I drink a liter of water at 3.
And eating every 2-3 hours could be the reason you're hungry all the time, that was my experience. Larger meals curb cravings better for some people.0 -
Chocolate!!!!! So i grab a sugar-free chocolate jello or apple with nutella or peanut butter. These do the trick0
-
Drink a protein powder mixed with water. Should only be about 100 calories.0

i was very similar. i would grab a soda and a bag of m&m's for a suger rush. i read somewhere that an apple has the same energy as a soda, so i started eating one of those at around 3 or 4. also, a piece of cheese or some almonds if i want a crunch.0

Apple, yogurt or low calorie string cheese.0

I agree with the coffee urge, but i mostly want something carb like...today i found a sm. bag of pretzels around the office and i dont feel too bad about eating it since it was snack size with no fat.0

I enjoy my 3:00 popcorn break everyday.0
-
I specifically plan my afternoon snack for this time...usually an apple or a protein bar...0

apple or a protein bar is good.0

Just stuck the last honey wheat pretzel in my mouth. I only have five (half serving) for 55 cal. with a cup of water. Its been enough to tide me over to dinner (whenever that may fall).0

Same problem but I have 9pm temptations.. :S After eating well all day, logging, drinking water, exercise.. it takes a lot of will power to fight it off but just like clock work it always happens!0

I'm having that problem right now but must resist! We are going out for Mexican tonight and I need my calories then.0
-
Sweets! After dinner I HAVE to have something sweet, so I'll get a yogurt or something. But then an hour later I want more and I have to say no!0

Coffee0

Chobani rasberry greek yogurt.. makes me a better person.0
-
Apple (I prefer the Honey Crisp) or a Pure Protein bar and water.0
-
I normally eat a boiled egg around 3 pm that holds me over until dinner.0
-
My snacks are planned for exactly 3pm because of this - and it has always been this way. Usually fruit, sometimes cheese.0

Well, normally I don't get hungry at this time, but I am now. Guess I'll have a protein bar.0
