Welcome to the club! I found the best way to beat the 'snacking' problem is to buy some fresh fruit each day on the way into the office. That way I feel like I have a 'treat' and can snack all day long. My favorite right now is satsuma oranges and plums.


Also - the fun part about the program is watching your progress. I love watching the weight chart go down... even if it moves slowly its fun to see the graphic representation!


Good luck!

I'm with you Ireland, I work graveyard shifts and average 10-12hr workdays....I usually eat breakfast before I leave and pack two 400-450 calorie meals to have at work 4.5 hrs in then 4.5 hrs later...usually my meals feature heavy on fruits and veggie and lean proteins.

I really need to eat more fruit at work, not a big salad eater... I try, but at 2 am I really don't feel like chewing on green things!! Lol
I sometimes do cereal at that time or yogurt.
I love homeade soups, the high sodium is concerning me... I haven't been making it...??

Hi !

I love fresh fruit, my problem is that when I eat one, it's so sweet and nice taste that I want another one, then another one..... I have to pay attention not to eat too many fruits, as this is a lot of Carbs too.

My thing : I found some high-Proteins bars which are not great but OK, and the fact that there is a lot of prots inside helps me feel "full" rather than willing to take another one... So if I really want fruit, I take one fruit, one glass of water and one proteins bar, and I am OK.

Be careful : many of those pretended "proteins bars" are full of carbs and fat ! The thing I have noticed : the better the taste, the worse the components...

My bar is this : 45g, 149 kCal, including 5.7g Fat, 11g Carbs and 15g Proteins.
I have another proteins snack which is nice and like this : 33g of powder (add water then microwave), 111 kCal, including 2g Fat, 4.9g Carbs and 18.4g Proteins.

Bye !

Thx, Naaalex
I need to find better snack choices!!
This protein shake that u microwave sounds interesting... Do u use chocolate?
2 snacks I really love r .. Vanilla light yogurt with frozen berry mix.. But I microwave the fruit till they r hot and mix it with the yogurt!!! Also I use the bullet mixer to do frozen fruit with protein powder and water.. These r good but I need to actually do them more! Silly how we know what we should eat but make bad choices!! Makes me mad.. But tomorrow is another day!
