I get the munchies also around 3 or 4 pm. This is what I usually eat.

1 Whole Wheat Pita (cut up in triangles) and 2 Tbsp of Hummus - 3 points

Baby Carrots w/FF or Light Ranch Dressing - 1-2 points depending on the brand

Dannon Fit and Lite Smoothie - 2 points

Stoneyfield Farm FF Yogurt - 2 points

Any fruit apple (1 point), banana (2 points), grapes (1-2 points), 1 3/4 c strawberries (1 points)

Pistachios (2-4 points)

Thomas' Lo-Carb English Muffin w/Tbsp of peanut butter (3 points)

Re: for those of you on ww

Try eating something with protein, some cheese, a yogurt, hard boiled egg, etc. It will probably fill you up a bit more than the bready, or diet type snacks.

No problem!!

Re: for those of you on ww

22 almonds are like 2 points. Or a granola bar? Trail mix?

What about a 2 points bar they sell at the meetings or online? They are handy.

My friend buys these peanut butter and jelly snacks that are in a bread shell and individually wrapped- I think they are either 3 or 4 points.

Re: for those of you on ww

If you try to eat something w/ more substance you'll feel full longer - Fruit doesn't do anything for me either when i'm HUNGRY !! I usually try a whole wheat Pita, or a slice of whole wheat bread w/ PB or one slice of cheese. -

Re: for those of you on ww

I just made the 1 point per cup Bell pepper and tomoato soup and decided to have some for breakfast (and to see how it tasted). OMG it's really good! And 1 point a cup that's not bad at all! Maybe have 1 point worth of crackers and that's a nice snack.
