Snack Attack!!! - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

Hello,
I have been doing really well watching what I have been eating over the past few months. However, usually around 3:00 in the afternoon, I get really hungry before I get home. Does anyone have any suggestions on a healthy snack I can munch on until I get home? I have tried fruit, non-fat smoothies, cereal... but nothing really tides me over until dinner. Let me know, I want to run to the store on my lunch break today... I need ideas!!!

I like fat free jello pudding cups for an afternoon snack. Or fat free saltine crackers with reduced fat peanut butter. Nabisco 100 calorie snacks are good, I like the oreo crisps and the cheese nips. Hope that helps.

Pretzels are always good. And you can dip them in peanut butter or fat free dressing, depending on your tastes. I also like the 100 calorie bags and they have some new ones out now.

100 cal packs seem like a great idea... Beats my boss' candy jar... Thanks. If anyone else has suggestions... Fire away!

Okay!!! It's 3:00 and I didn't have time to go to the store. I am so hungry, I can't concentrate. The only thing we have in the office are those "Zone Perfect" bars. I am tempted to go for it, but it seems to be too much fat and calories. fat 7g (3g saturated), calories 260!!! and 22g of carbs, none of which are dietary fiber. What's the craze with these things, are they really not that bad for you? I am going to work out later for about an hour and a half... What should I do?
