Snacks, snacks, snacks!

Snacks are just as important to me as meals are. Snacks are what get my mind through the day. Breakfast wakes up my body and starts my metabolism, lunch will refuel my body and diner gets my body ready for bed, but I couldn't stay sane without my snacks!

As you all might know, I eat 3 meals and 2 to 3, sometimes 4 snacks a day. When I snack, I try to stay in the 150 - 200 caloric range. You have to be really creative with snacks, I think. Step awap from the cucumber, carrots, but try to think more along the lines of satisfying your sweet tooth or filling you up so you won't think about being hungry anymore. Cucumber will not do this for you.

I have listed a few of my favorite snacks to eat throughout the day:
