Ann Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm just finishing Day 9, and am doing really well. The only thing I think I need to tweak (maybe), is to eliminate my mid-afternoon snack. Here's what my typical schedule looks like: 6:30am - wake 7:30am - Meal 1 (I leave for work at 7:45, so I really must have Meal 1 at this time) 12:30 or 1:00 - Meal 2 (at the office, my lunch time is flexible) 3:30 or 4:00 - Snack 7:30 or 8:00 - Dinner (I get home from work at 6, or 6:30 if I make a stop - it's hard to do dinner earlier) 11pm - lights out My snack has usually been fairly small (today it was a closed handful of macadamia nuts and two dried pineapple rings), but I think if I didn't have it, I'd be uncomfortably hungry by the time dinner rolled around. Is it okay to keep a snack on my daily schedule, or should I tweak something to eliminate the snack?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Jeanne Penrod Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have the same dilemma. I feel if you're genuinely hungry ou need to eat. My snack tends to be pre-workout so it works out ok. I would also add more protein to your snack if you have one. Hard boiled egg maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 After two eggs for breakfast (I actually like eggs first thing), I don't know if I want another egg later in the day. But maybe a slice or two of W30 deli meat would be good. The thing is, I only need a "little" something, I don't want to have such a big snack I'm not very hungry for dinner. So maybe just one slice of deli meat, a few (4-5) macadamias, and a small piece of fruit (or a dried pineapple ring -- I'm not obsessed with pineapple rings, nope, not me -- it might be a good thing when I run out, I think there are only two left in the package).

SugarfreeLife Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 If you have so long pause between Meal 2 and Meal 3 and you are hungry, I think you should have a snack. And I agree with Laura, that protein is better than dried fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My eating is very similar- I am Day 6. When I read your post it made me realise that I am still looking for that 'something sweet' in the afternoon. I usually have berries & nuts but am still wanting dark choc or similar. I wouldn't trust myself with dried pineapple in the house! I also love eggs for breakfast but this morning had steak & veg, am hoping that it will get rid of my mid-afternoon sugar thing. Good luck!
