Hungry in the Afternoon!

I feel hungry between lunch and dinner as well. If I eat protein (3-4 oz) almost like a meal but with it wrapped around string cheese like deli turkey or chicken it feeds the hunger and keeps me not hungry again until about 7.

I eat lunch around noon. But I can't eat dinner usually until 6 and I'm driving between 4-6 (a lot of it) and drinking water seems to make me hungrier. I make up a couple of my little treats, put them in a little cooler and carry it in the car with me from work back home and munch slowly. Finish 2 by 5. I feel much better and not apt to eat so much or so fast at dinner at 7, which is then a bit lighter than a full cup.

Wow, it sounds like you do a great job with getting in your protien. What if you save some of your nuts from lunch and eat them in the afternoon? How about peanut butter? What if you don't eat the crackers and you eat a little more cheese? Are you hungry at lunch? Maybe shifting around when you eat will help? Good luck!

Try a pack of tuna, the kind in the vacuum package. Its like 90 calories and keeps me full for hours.

I eat a protein bar between lunch and dinner, my favorite is the Pure Protein Smore's Bar... and a plus is its packed with 19 grams of protein. I eat it about 3pm, and holds me over till dinner at 7!!
