Am I crazy.....
 

it seems everyday that I get MAJORmunchie attacks about 3PM..... like it's almost schedueled (splg?)!!! Does anyone else have this issue? I am thinking it's all in my head! Am I right????

So confused...... :dizzy:

I get them now and then too, I satisfy myself with like 5 prunes (only 100 calories) or like 10 almonds (70 calories) or a piece of cojack cheese (prepackaged 60 calories).

Definitely helps me to not be ravenous by dinnertime (5ish).

I totally get you. I'm the exact same way. Sometime between 2:30 and 3p, I start having the munchies. Since I've started on my new program, I usually have my afternoon snack around then. Today it's sliced jicama. Gives me the good crunch and is only 46 calories per cup.

I have a snack every day about 3PM. I figure it in with my food for the day,

Not only do I get the munchies between 2:30 and 3:00, but I get super sleepy. I can't stop yawning.

I try to eat every 2-3 hours or the snack monstre comes for me Yo're not alone!

EAT PROTEIN......it stops fatigue and fills you up.

annie175 is right. Bet you guys blood sugar has dropped. Eat ProteiN!!!!!

I am also a victim of the 3pm munchies! I think the reason I was having trouble was because I work to 2:30pm and get home around 3pm. I would have a really small lunch (because I was trying to lose weight lol) and would be famished when I got home. I would binge and still eat dinner at 5-6pm. So not a good idea! Now I make sure to eat a real lunch at work, even if it's oatmeal (my standby) and yogurt. I also keep almonds and those snack pack prunes in my desk as well as cheese and hard-boiled eggs in the office fridge.

Finally I understand the multi quote function!!! Anyway...I too have the same problem, and I always tend to eat something that makes me MORE hungry. The protein point is a good one. I will try it...probably in about an hour when the snack monster comes along and I'm yawning!!!

I have a protein with Every meal
either a shake (or a scoop of shake mix in coffee
veggies and hummus or an HB egg
cheese and anything!
esp if you're having a carb (not that you do that ;)) have protein!!

I actually will have a drop in bloodsugar at about 3pm if I eat a lunch that is high in carbs...I eat a good protein focused lunch and a small protein/fat (nuts or cheese work great) snack and I don't have that crash.
