Meal 4- Mid-afternoon

Hopefully, you are getting the hang of eating less, more often. This meal is important because if you skip it, you will be really hungry by dinner and that is likely to cause you to overeat. So try this: If you had a sandwich for lunch, and only ate 1/2 of it, eat the other half now with some fruit or even chips. As always, you need to check the nutrition label on the chips, but generally, Sun Chips and other reduced fat chips are OK. Get the prepackaged 100 calorie bags so you don’t eat more than you should. You can definitely substitute fruit or some sort of vegetable for the chips if you want. I really like the peeled mini-carrots that come in a bag. They are easy to pack and carry, and are really low in calories- about 100 calories for 1/2 lb. So you can eat a lot of carrots! Plus, they are really good for you. But, the idea of this diet is not to torture yourself, it is to change your eating habits so that you are healthier, can lose weight and feel better. So if you want to eat some chips or even chocolate (get the 100 calories packs of dark chocolate) enjoy!
Other possibilities are a half bagel with peanut butter (I love bagels so this is a common snack for me) tuna with light mayo or a cup of low calorie yogurt.
