I should try one day only eating snacks and spreading them out throughout the day - just to see how it goes. Breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner. 5 Small meals.
I'll try this Monday and report back... using some of your suggestions. Thanks all!!!!0 -

That's always what I do and it helps me getting rid of cravings! No matter what time it is, I always know I'll have a snack in less than 2 or 3 hour. It gives me the illusion that I'm always eating.0 -
I love..
-an apple with 1-2 tbl almond butter
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes w/ 1 oz. feta cheese
-100 calorie pack plain almonds w/ small banana
-string cheese wrapped in 1 slice deli turkey
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese w/ 1/4 cup blueberries
I find that mixing a protein and a carb or a protein and a fat is my best bet for staying full!0 -
- sliced cucumbers with 2 Tbsp of Tahini Hummus, add in Chia seeds to keep you full longer!
- I like to mix blueberries, cherries & grapes together, a 1/4c each.
- sliced tomato with flavored tuna pack on top.
- fat free cottage cheese with sugar free strawberry jelly. yummo!!
*little trick* replace mayonaise with french onion laughing cow cheese when making a sandwich! saves a lot of calories and its really yummy!0 -
I've planned out my day for Monday and HOLY CRAP I never realized how much I can eat by doing this. I can't wait to see how it goes. I prepared the husband and let him know I wouldn't be cooking that night. I put in my favorites, added some of yours and still barely made it to the daily limit for any living being.

Snack day going swimmingly! I have enough snacks to be under my calorie goal and still have one snack every hour. I'm behind, though, as it's 11 a.m. and I just had my first one. Still feel great!
Full report tomorrow.0 -

I like to wrap a piece of ham or other deli meat in several leaves of lettuce. Sometimes I add a wedge of laughing cow.0
-
I like the laughing cow cheeses & spreads. There's only 35 calories a wedge. They come in a variety of flavors.
Spread them on english muffin, thin bagel, celery sticks and can spread them on sandwich as a condiment.0 -
Wow! I'm impressed with how creative everyone can be when it comes to healthy snacking. I'll definitely be stealing some of your ideas!
I like Keebler's 100 calorie Right bites Dark Chocolate Fudge Stripes.
I love pickles. 20 Calories for a large, but gotta watch the sodium.
Any raw veggies.0 -
