If it's true that you are using a protein bar, half an apple and water to snack on, then you have no worries! this is exactly what you should be doing!

Don't Quit!

However, if you are doing this routine all at the same time, or several times a day then you should find a hobby or something else to fill your time!

what you have listed is perfect tho, don't worry about what you are doing, you'll be all right!

God Bless!

The protien bar may be triggering your desire to eat (the sweetness did it to me!)- I did celery and peanut butter as well as almonds. Definately try different things.... your body does like variatioN!

I try and limit myself to 2 snacks a day. Usually one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Especially if I have exercised during the day. What I found that I really like is soy nuts. They are crunchy and of course high in protein. I also have snacked on sesame oat sticks which have a good amount of protein in them. It is always best to take one serving out of the bag and put it into a little dish or a snack size ziplock baggie first. Light string cheese is also a good one. If it is something sweet that I crave or it is the chocolate time of the month, than sugar free fudgesickles are great and so is sugar free hot chocolate. Hope this helps! -Kendra

If I have already had a healthy snack for the day I try to just drink water and make the craving for a snack go away, getting my mind on something else and sipping water, lots of water, but sometimes I don't do as I should, we all do, so don't beat yourself up. Protein bars and apples are good snacks, if you don't overdo.
