4pm nibbles ideas?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys...

I am struggling here...I can pretty much go a whole day without eating in between meals...but as soon as 4pm hits I get sooooo hungry. I end up eating biscuits and not just 1...GRRR or a sandwich. What I am wondering is what are some good nibbles ideas that I can have... that are yummy but dont have too much calories/carbohydrates to get me through till dinner at 6pm. What does everyone else eat?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

:confused: Becky :help:

When I get the munchies I eat soy chips... a few does the trick...crunchy, and 7 gm of protien for the serving...

another good thing is 2 reduced fat ritz crackers and 2 tbsp of cottage cheese or the lughing cow light cheese

pretzels are a yummy choice as are quaker rice Snacks, they are app 70cal per serving and very filling and astonishingly good. For lower carb options, a low fat string cheese, a small salad, almonds, Peanut Butter. It is normal for banded folks to have 3 meals +1 planned snack. Most people like that snack in the afternoon between lunch and dinner because there is so much time in between those two meals. If you have the snack it will help with your portions at dinner and also help keep you from eating too fast at dinner :rolleyes:

Well, the way my job is.... my lunch is at 4:00pm and supper is at 11:00pm. Weird, I know.

I've been doing what Dr. Oz says..... I'm eating 12 unroasted Almonds. It works! I also snack on grapes when I'm feeling that "sweet" craving coming on. It seems to appease that sugar demand in me. Just don't forget..... "UNROASTED" nuts.... never eat roasted ones as the Omega fat is changed in the nut once it's roasted; therefore, it loses all the goodness.

I'm not banded as yet, but I've been working toward that day. My first appointment with the band doctor is the 24th! Yeah!!!!!!

3 little pieces of melba toast with either laughing cow cheese or "natural fruit" jam spread on...depending on whether I'm wanting sweet or salty.

The melba toat I buy is "twice toasted" so it is incredibly crunchy and while I have a pretty tight band and can't eat normal breads, melba toast goes down as long as I take small bites and chew a lot.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
