Didn't do great today

I personally have had more success with higher protein
snacks than carby snacks. My morning snack is celery with
peanut butter. I have cottage cheese with my lunch usually
or yogurt and my dinner always has protein of one sort or
another. My lunches have been sandwiches with more
substantial breads (I take 3 points for my bread
selection), but with the sandwich and the cottage cheese I
am usually only hungry when I get home and I have salad in
a bag waiting for me to inhale. I do have fruit with lunch
also, and strawberries have a lot of fiber so they are
worth it in my book.

Generally if it's not a simple carb I'm much more satisfied.

perhaps a small change in that direction can have some

I conciously try to choose snacks with protein or dairy
rather than just simple carbs. If it does have to be
carbs, then I choose fruit or multigrain stuff rather than
the "white" stuff. I find it really does help stave off
the munchies.

As for your day, a philosophy I've used is "write it down
and move on". It helps to write everything down, just to get
into the habit, and so really *see* what you've eaten. That
doesn't mean you have to try to make up for it the rest of
the week, just start again as soon as you can. However,
writing it down helps that to be a concious decision.

I find that I need to have a high protein lunch or I am
hungry by 3pm. My typical lunches are either a sandwich made
from 3-4 oz of turkey breast on LF whole wheat bread with a
dab of LF mayo. I also make leftover chicken + veggies that
I nuke or bring Lean Cuisine or WW meals. They both now make
Low Carb meals that are basically meat/chicken and green
veggies which suits
me.

I also have a mini yogart cup for another point as my
dessert. I also have a baggie of celery sticks as my veggie.

Personally I find carbs (breads, cereals, etc) very filling
and satisfying. I don't know how much of that is due to the
fact that I LOVE them so, and how much is because they truly
fill me up. I love nothing better for an evening snack than
either a bowl of cereal (I think I could live on nothing but
cereal and milk) or some whole wheat toast sprayed with some
of that fake butter spray stuff. However, I DO have to make
a concerted effort to make sure that the bulk of my points
don't come from carby stuff. I have to make sure I get some
proteiny snacks in somehow. You know, now that I think about
it, maybe that's why my weight loss has slacked off a bit in
the last couple of weeks. Too much bread. Darn.

What about 1 egg, 2 points of carbs and 1 point of fruit, Lee, I eat all of
it but try to have the food groups together. Lee
