Do you have an afternoon snack?

Fiber One 70 Calorie Brownies. They taste great, they’re only 70 calories, and they’re good for you. I wouldn’t eat any snack greater than 100 calories and no one else should either.

Another option is Great Value Light Greek Yogurt. It’s only 80 calories and it’s satisfying. Also good for you.

Peanut butter toast and tea.

I eat whole food not frankengarbage like OP and R1.

Either a protein bar or a decadent pastry, depending if I listen to the angel or the devil on my shoulder,

Well smell you, r3! 🙄

I'm a hobbit. I have an elevenses snack of usually a greek yogurt cup or a protein bar, and an afternoon snack of a banana with a dab of peanut butter. I subscribe to the "eat several small meals to keep your metabolism going" theory of eating and it works for me.

I usually have a protein shake (unflavored) before I work out. I use milk instead of water and I add a double shot of espresso to it, a scoop of creatine and a little bit of coffee creamer, so it’s basically a coffee shake. I add the espresso shot to have a little boost beforehand instead of taking pre workout powders.

Babybel cheese and some grapes. Babybels range from 50 to 70 calories per serving and the calorie count for the grapes is negligible.

[quote] calorie count for the grapes is negligible

OMG SUGAR!!! I'd DIE, I'd just simply DIE!!

Sometimes I have fruit. I love pears in the winter.

Apple and a handful of nuts - almonds and cashews usually.

You need to some bulk, protein, and fat to curb the sensation of feeling hungry.

Thanks to Ozempic, I’m still full from last night’s dinner.

Sometimes if I need something carb-y, I'll have a Thomas plain mini bagel, they are 120 calories, with a bit of peanut butter.

I've been trying just to have coffee with cream and maybe 12 almonds.

1 chocolate chip, a walnut, 2 raisins

a delicous ceramic thimble of warm bone broth which I cradle. 7 air popped pieces of popcorn with flour da la see fancy salt. My special treats are frozen Russel Stover seasonal marshmallow treats which I divide in 4 before I individually wrap and freeze.

Yes. And a morning one, evening one, midnight one.

Chocolate candy.

AbbaZabba and grape Koolaid

Asshole

Fresh garden salad with 1 tbls of Balsamic Vinegar and 1 tblsp of extra virgin cold pressed olive oil

I always have a piece of fruit. Usually an apple or a banana.

I try not to eat healthy food when I can help it.

The sooner my body gives out the better I’ll be.

Usually cheese and crackers, though for the last couple of days I've had peanut butter cookies.

That's like asking if I breathe in the afternoon.

I eat when I'm hungry.

“ I wouldn’t eat any snack greater than 100 calories and no one else should either.”

The sentiments of a pretentious, persnickety, puckered philistine.

[quote] I wouldn’t eat any snack greater than 100 calories and no one else should either.

Tell us more, Ms. Rancic.

A slice of swiss cheese and a slice of turkey, rolled up. I sometimes add ground mustard.

Slice of apple with peanut butter or half banana with pb.

Once in a while I have a snack. A wooty twink.

R31 No idea what that is but thanks for sharing.

2 nectarine segments and 3 walnuts sliced in half so it seems like 6 walnuts. I shake a pinch of sesame seeds into the crevices of the walnuts for an extra indulgence.

Two almonds.

Fresh fruit, peanut butter on a couple of crackers, dill pickle.

I take a fine Takamura onion knife and wedge up 1 inch of the crust that forms where my wooden table leaves meet.

No.

I have a cup of tea at 4.

Didn’t OP ask about a snack? He didn’t ask about a deli menu for squirrels.🐿️

Yes. I’ve always had tea between 3 - 4, as a kid after school it was usually a toasted cheese or peanut butter or Nutella on toast. I still have the same, except Nutella today is gross, but more likely to have a couple of cookies and a cup of tea. Yesterday I had peanut butter on a cinnamon graham cracker and might have the same today.

I have my snack around 4. Aldi sells these little single-serving 3-packs of nuts, cheese, and dried fruit, or cheese and a cut turkey slim Jim type thing. I put it on a plate with five or so saltines that I break into pieces can have a little bit of saltine with each bite.

Sometimes if I’m feeling worthy of a little more effort, I will make a plate with a couple gherkins, a quartered beet, and cheese and sausage of my own choosing, what my people called ‘faspa’.

I only have a couple bites of each thing, I think the variance in each food’s taste and texture switches off my desire to have more. It’s good enough but not _too_ good. I try not to get snacks that taste too good. I had to stop buying Wheat Thins for this reason— saltines only.

Here are some of my afternoon snack choices

Fresh garden salad with no more than 2 tablespoons of dressing

1 stick of string cheese and one small to medium sized apple

1 bag of Birdseye steam fresh mixed vegetables (3 servings of vegetables)

Smoothie 1 cup of frozen blueberries or strawberries, 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 8 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup

10 unsalted whole almonds

R41 Everything but the 10 almonds sounds like a meal.

I like those little packages called Balanced Breaks that Sargento makes. The versions I like best are the ones with cheddar cheese, almonds or cashews, and dried cranberries. They're tasty, not too sweet, provide some protein, and are only 180 calories. I find I'm really dragging at around 2:30 in the afternoon, practically falling asleep at my desk at work. And that's a snack that provides a nice little energy boost without the sugar rush (and crash) that something more carb heavy would.

I also like Fage 2 reduced fat flavored yogurt. But the Balanced Breaks are my weekday go-to.

R43 it’s probably what you’re eating for lunch that makes you feel draggy at 2:30

No. I certainly do not.

So many Squirrels on this thread only eating seeds and nuts...who are you kidding?

Hummus with carrot and celery sticks.

An apple with cheddar cheese and some peanut butter.

Grey Goose and Fresca with a Newport menthol.

Did the OP ask everyone to perform their eating disorders for the rest of us? I must have missed that.

So many liars. Now R47, I believe.

Rolando

I have candy and cookies, I like sugar, I lost weight eating candy cookies and ice cream, birthday cake is gold.

Wait for it - 1:44

R42 only to you

[quote]Fiber One 70 Calorie Brownies. They taste great, they’re only 70 calories, and they’re good for you.

No they are not. There is nothing wholesome about them. It's a junkfood.

[quote]Great Value Light Greek Yogurt.

The flavored versions have high fructose corn syrup, sucralose.

People wonder why diabetes and all kind of other ailments are so prevalent. People are eating crap.

I find the cum of a Latino construction worker on a work site close to my building to completely fill me up. Sweet, creamy, and lots of it.

[quote] People wonder why diabetes and all kind of other ailments are so prevalent. People are eating crap

Yes, I am certain high diabetes rates are due to eating Great Value Light Greek Yogurt.

R56 = idiot.

One or two tall stacks of peanut butter with American sliced cheese sandwiches with generic “Ritz” crackers, a couple of colored sugar water jugs, shaped like miniature milk bottles with tin foil caps; preferably the red or the orange ones, they taste the most like fruit.

And a Snicker’s bar for dessert.

In addition to the horrible eating habits, I also didn’t know the difference between the possessive and the plural “s” suffixes back in 1978.

[quote] I have my snack around 4. Aldi sells these little single-serving 3-packs of nuts, cheese, and dried fruit, or cheese and a cut turkey slim Jim type thing.

That sounds like a lot of one-use plastic.

A nice blowjob in the park usually does it

r58, it amazes me how much garbage I ate as a kid and was always a bean pole (except for 8th grade when I got a bit pudgy before I grew like 5 inches in less than a year). I could easily eat half a box of Cap'n Crunch after school and then a full dinner and dessert a couple of hours later.

Typically I'll have a package of Lance Crackers (preferably Captain's Wafers Cream Cheese & Chives, but any flavor will do) with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea.

If not, then a green banana. I like them slightly underripe. It helps bring down my blood sugar.

[quote]OP: I've always needed a little something around 3:00 p.m. I thought this would change when I started working from home but it didn't.

At 3pm, does Robert Goulet appear and start messing with your stuff?

I find the meriendas of DLers to be quite intriguing.

[quote]Yes, I am certain high diabetes rates are due to eating Great Value Light Greek Yogurt.

Nailed the troll.

Coffee refill #3.

Arthur in the Afternoon.

A Brach’s starbrite peppermint

R50, who is Rolando?

Well, you can think of it as a "snack", I guess.

R41, are you Fatty Hogbacker of the Hobbiton Hogbackers, and is that your Threeses, Fourses, or Fiveses Teas you're talking about, please?

Lasagna

Sometimes I have taquitos and pepperoncini, with Steel Reserve beer. Lol, if I'm smoking a joint ill make some shit up.

chesters hot fries with gas station nacho cheese poured in the bag

Do any of the many obese women on DL carry an actual snack purse? How laden is it?

Cabbage rolls

A double espresso, a Malboro and a mint.

But i fully indulge in night cheese on pumpernickel .

They are all supposed to be snack-sized meals. One I’m allowed three times a week without mercury poisoning is sardines on crackers.

The cracker sleeves only go up 80% of the box now. I’m getting damaged crackers because of shrinkflation and I have bad breath.

Fuck Zesta up the ass. Yeah.

Birdseye frozen peas

One pretzle

Big fat ass.

R54 God fucking forbid public schools teach basic nutrition to school kids. It's an easy science and an important one. Instead, consumers such as R1 are breezily ignorant of the very basics, and victimised by the industrial food industry.

A handful of parched peanuts. Valencias are the best.

I don't have afternoon snacks, dearie. I daintily dress up for afternoon tea with beautiful silk tea gown and then, I wear my sturdier caftans (a lady must not be afraid of looking casual from time to time) for high tea. Of course, later on I return to my station in the grandest style possible with candlelit suppers that put Hyacinth Bucket's infamous events to shame.

Just in case you plebs don't know the difference:

Afternoon Tea can only be had two hours after lunch, but always before the 5 o'clock in evening. It is served in fine bone china and accompanied by all sorts of delicious little treats (scones with clotted cream and jam, sandwiches and a diverse assortment of cakes). Of course, you serve it in the parlour or even better, your personal tea room!

High Tea is a sturdy meal served on high chairs around a table, but not your formal dining room. It's always served after 5 PM and you must drink black tea with it, and you can only eat simpler fare (pies, cheese on toast).

Then you can have dinner after 8 PM on the o'clock, and supper after 10 at night. Mrs Bouquet would be dazzled by my sophistication, and I'm sure that so are you, serfs!

Now, allow me to flip my hair (it's a blond wig) and leave you while sticking my nose up in the air.

Seventeen Spice Drops straight from the freezer.

R85, is that you Lady Nicolas Fairford?

My food day is more front-loaded. If I am hungry in the afternoon, I'll just wait a bit then eat dinner. If anything, maybe some fruit.

When it comes to discussing food, some of you have more issues than a lifetime subscription.

Toast and teas is my go to. I probably eat more bread that I should, but at least it's real food. I always get whole grain bread with seeds and nuts.

Tea, sliced apple with peanut butter

I usually eat fruit, cashews, or pistachios as an afternoon snack.

R61, which park(s) do you find most reliable for that type of afternoon snack?

Yes. Ted on Mondays, Frank on Tuesdays, John and Phil tag team on Wednesdays...

R94 No Juans, Diegos, or Josés? You really have to up your game.

Cup of tea and toast with strawberry jam

I don’t give a fuck how many calories it is

No, I’m a committed intermittent faster.

R95 - I save Guillermo for Sabado. He's Gigante.

Half a rack of BBQ ribs, mac and cheese, cornbread, and sweet tea. Gets me through that rough patch between lunch and dinner.

Cara Cara Orange and 100-calorie pack of almonds. Some days, it's a Yasso Chocoloate Chip Cookie Douge or Blackberry Chip frozen yogurt bar.

ritalin

[quote] Yasso Chocoloate Chip Cookie Douge

Oh honey, you misspelled both Yass Queen and Douche.

douge? best to keep your filthy fetish to yourself.

Lornadoone

R81, maybe I’d you have two it’ll help with spelling.

R86, I’m intrigued! I love spice drops, but never even considered freezing them.

One Hershey kiss

Crumbs on the keyboard help soak up jizz.

A good afternoon snack has a fat, a carb, and a sugar -

cheese & crackers with apple slices

peanut butter with banana on a hotdog bun.

Tomato on white with mayo, s&p

Most of my snacks are eaten over the sink.

R87, I'm much too refined to be compared to the Lip Gloss Queen and her methacrylate coffee table. I'm more of a grande dame (with the keyword being BIG) who is known far and wide for the tasteful accessories of my table, which is always frequented by persons of superior taste who stagger in admiration when they see the splendour of my candlelit suppers!

One solitary carrot stick

Ice water

[quote] One solitary carrot stick

You eat it afterward? That’s gross.

^ Shut up, Danny. Such a perv!

I have a carrot in my home but I do not know what to do with it.

I am in the office today and had a vanilla coffee with almond milk and a few Hershey's kisses. It hit the spot.

[quote] It hit the spot.

Oh my. Where did you insert those Hershey kisses?

I had a dove bar

Finishing off my Dominos brownies - they really are excellent.

I'm having a box of Hot Tamales. When I was in junior high, these were the only dessert on the school menu, so they're kind of a nostalgic taste for me.

R119 it’s funny to think of a school giving out Hot Tamales. Every once in a while I crave Mike & Ikes.

I have a tin of caramelised nuts and I have three or four of those and maybe a banana, maybe a couple of crumpets if it's cold weather

Half a cheesecake

Y’all type fat.

It’s not just an afternoon snack, it’s a merienda. Are you my merienda? Sometimes I get hungry.

I'm retired. I can have my afternoon snack whenever I like.

These are my usual go-to afternoon snacks.

🍎

One string cheese

Garden salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Jenny Craig peanut butter anytime bar

3 Brazil nuts 🌰

Baked sweet potato w/ 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar

Green Giant or Birdseye steamers broccoli, mixed vegetables, peas, Brussel sprouts, sliced carrots.

Tea and a sliced apple with peanut butter

Poor Herman really tried...

I'm having a box of Good 'n' Plenty today - I'm one of the few here who love black licorice.

I'm doing a DIY root canal with an AbbaZabba.

R129 I like black licorice, but then again these lips don’t touch “domestic beer” or drive through fare.

Everybody knows damn well that I did not. It's gotten to the point that even asking such a question borders on cruelty.

A small piece of roast chicken

Thanks to Zepbound, I don't need to snack between meals anymore.

R129, I too love black licorice. Haven’t had Good ‘n’ Plenty in years, and now I want some!
