    easy grabs like nuts, apples, yogurt....basically you are just trying to have a little 100 filling calories to keep from going ape sh8t at your next meal.

    I love cereal as "in between" snacks. I rarely eat 3 full meals though- usually 5 or 6 mini meals. A sandwich, a bowl of cereal, a pita pizza, cheese and crackers...I like to fit one meal sized meal in or I seem to be hungry all day. Other than that, it's more like snacking throughout the day.

    You should eat something protein rich, protein shakes, protein bars, yogurt with fruit in it, raw almonds, low fat cottage cheese. Typically your main meals should be about 300-400 calories and snacks right around 200-300, that would give you about 1600 calories per day, so go from there. Make sure you are eating nutrient rich foods, don't waste calories on something like a granola bar, when a protein bar (something with 12 or more grams of protein) will offer more protein and fiber and keep you satisfied longer. I love cold cereal, but really, you can get more bang for your buck if you eat something protein rich.

    oatmeal! most are only 150-160, and it sticks to your ribs in a big way.

    I generally eat 5 smaller meals. The same stuff you'd eat for whatever time of day (breakfast, dinner, brunch, etc), just less. Breakfast is my biggest meal with something like 2 eggs, a cup of oats or cereal, and milk, and maybe even some fruit or yogurt as well. Then I snack for the rest of the day, concentrating my carbohydrates around my workout and protein/fat before bed, but you don't really have to be that specific. I like to have meals of string cheese or yogurt with a granola bar, or a small sandwich, or cup of soup/casserole. Bigger than 'snacks' but smaller than 3 'squares'.

    Well then you're missing out on all the lecithin and 1/2 the protein and it's sort of a waste.

    My trainer told me to eat 3 boiled eggs for breakfast. I eat 2-just whites 1-whole egg. The yolk of one egg can get in some of the fat you need,

    To answer the original question, I eat apple and almond for morning snack. Then around 2pm I eat a greek yogurt.
