I'm the same way, e6uawfa. I really don't eat snacks unless I have some lunch leftovers or something... I'm thinking its fine so long as it doesn't lead to huge meals, but I am kinda nervous about not following the system by the book.

The snacks really do two things for me -
1) they control the low blood sugar in between meals and
2) they make sure I am getting all my servings of things in - dairy, fats, veggies, protein.
Personally, I know I need the snacks to keep myself from over-eating at lunch and dinner. As an aside, it is also good to be sure you are getting enough CALORIES - you do not want your body to go into "starvation mode" and refuse to drop the pounds . . .
Just my two cents!
Be well -

snacks are pretty important. consistent intake means consistent fueling for the metabolism machine. i don't have a morning snack because I don't have enough time between breakfast, gym and lunch, but I do have a mid-afternoon snack. If I'm not hungry, it isn't a big one, just something to keep my body fueled.

MMC - I've basically replaced all of my lettuce consumption with kale. I love the flavor and use it in all of my salads now. It's WAY more nutritious than salad greens, and heartier. I use it in smoothies too. I finally found kale pre-washed and chopped (huge bag for 2.79) and that is the way I plan on buying it from now on - SO easy!
