As far as food goes, I do pretty good in the morning with what I eat and my calorie intake but I always find my stomach growling at around 2 - 3pm so it's not quite dinner time. I try to ignore it and wait for dinner but end up over-eating at dinner. What are some good snacks that are low in calories, but will satisfy me until dinner time?
