looking for some new ideas please! what's your favourite snack and when do you like to eat it? eg post-workout or mid-evening or pre-dinner or whatever.

i'm finding it hard to last from lunch at 12.30pm to dinner at 6pm so i need a little something around 3ish. but what? i have a coffee in the morning so i don't want to add another....

    Melon! Any kind. Cantalope fills me up the most.
    I usually eat this when I am feeling snackish or am waiting for my meal to cook.

    awesome - keep 'em coming.

    i need to snack so that i don't raid the fridge while dinner is cooking! hahah - the cherry tomatoes or grapes usually are the victims, but i need to stop this and plan a proper snack that keeps me going all the way through :D

    not really a fan of cottage cheese though - any ideas to jazz it up a bit?

    Sugar free jello topped with fat free cool whip, it tastes amazing, almost like a pie. A cup is like 15 calories.

    Apples and/ or raw almonds are my go to snack. They help me make it to dinner without getting hungry immediately afterwards (like chips do).

    Other snacks that I love: pears, whole wheat toast (i usually put a little peanut butter on it), and carrots/celery (I almost always eat them with red pepper hummus - YUM).

    I am really hooked on the PB2 (powdered peanut butter). I love it on apples and celery or will make a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast and put a little honey on it.

    You should try Quest bars!! They're the only healthy protein bars I've seen that don't have a ton of added sugars. They come in a lot of flavors with pretty basic ingredients. Most protein bars have paragraphs on weird ingredients you can't pronounce. Each bar has 1 or 2 grams of sugar which is nothing! And 20 grams of protein each.

    I usually eat 2 in one sitting and I'm pretty full.

    That's way too long for me to ever go without some grub! I eat a turkey sandwich in the middle of the day. You can load it down with great stuff without draining your remaining calories.

    I like Jello or yogurt. They are low in calories. But if you have a chocolate craving...try the Skinny Cow candy bars. I believe those are only like 110 calories. You can prolly eat half the candy bar and hide the other half away so you aren't temped. Eat the other half prolly 2 hours after your lunch and that can count as your second snack.
