Hello All! :)

I want to try to snack on something at least 5x a day, but I only have enough calories for 4 so far... lol! What are your favorite healthy, yummy, low-cal snacks? :)

    celery & PB, cucumber, small muffines (I make them with no sugar and egg whites, really low cal about 150), 1% cottage cheese, fruit smoothies, yogurt, 1% chocolate milk, hummus, ryvita crackers, there is an endless possibility!!! I eat 5 times a day, three meals (small) and snacks in between.

    I snack on veggies (cucumber, jicama, carrots, broccoli), string cheese, blueberries, bananas...generally try to keep my snacks under 100 calories, but if I go over, I adjust for the rest of the day

    I eat 6 times a day. So even my meals are pretty small. I like to snack on carrots, low-fat string cheese, apples, almonds, low-fat or fat free jello. Good sutff and guilt free! You can even go for some plain greek yogurt and put some berries in there.

    Don't limit yourself to one way or the other.....some days I don't eat until one o'clock, and I'll eat 700 calories then.

    Some days I eat three 500 cal meals.

    Some days I graze all day.

    I often eat 600+ calories right before bed.


    It becomes very difficult to regiment yourself into a set pattern. It can seem like failure whenever you step outside those "rules."

    Most important is : stay in your calorie range and try to hit your recommendations for macros.

    I eat at 9a, 12n, 3p, 6p, 9p every day. I just divide up my cals for the day into these smaller meals. My 9p might be a bit lighter than the rest, or not.
