AAF Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 My favorite 4 pm snack is an apple and peanut butter. I read that snacking, especially fruit, is discouraged. Is an apple with almond butter an acceptable snack? I am starting the program on Friday and planning ahead. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hmmm. Nope. Try building your meals so that you don't need a snack. If it's a habit, find something else to do to take your mind of it. And if you really must snack out of genuine hunger rather than habit/boredom make it a mini meal made up of at least two of the three food groups with protein & fat being your best option. Fruit when eaten like this can impact blood sugar, which in turn effects energy, appetite & mood. Nut butters should be limited as they're hard on the digestive system, are an inferior fat source, and become a food without breaks. Three good sized template meals is your best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
