The mid-afternoon hiatus has set in, and your stomach is rumbling in response. Lunch is a distant memory, and dinner is a far-off dream at this point in the day. The temptation to grab calorie high foods like candy bars, chips, or a cookie when you need a quick pick-me-up makes you even more exhausted in the long run.
Between-meal hunger can affect the rest of your day based on the type of snack you choose. You may overeat if your energy levels drop and you eat something sugary and high in simple carbs. You’ll be surprised at how little you need to eat to feel complete with a protein snack.
