Re: late afternoon munchies!!!

I have the same problem. One thing that might help is Flax Oil. Or

you might try having a meal that's slightly higher in fat -- like 4%

cottage cheese instead of the lower fat. It might fill you up a

little more. Something else you might do is go for a walk when you

get home to get your mind off of food until it's time to eat again.

And use Sunday (or whatever other day is convenient) as a prep day to

make as many meals as you need for the week.

I personally once a week cook up a bunch of chicken breast, brown rice,

sweet potatos, so I can microwave easy when Id ont feel like cooking

Other things like tuna are good when you dont feel like it

I do something similar but I do it when I'm cooking for the evening anyway. I

add extra, planned leftovers, to use for my lunch. For instance, if I'm

grilling chicken for dinner, I'll cook a large package and freeze the remaining

portions in baggies to grab for my lunches. Same with potatoes. While I've got

the oven on cooking a couple for dinner, I cook a few extra for lunch. Those

and a bag or two of salad mix makes easy and quick lunches.
