But wait, it\u2019s 10 a.m., or 3 p.m., and it\u2019s not meal time. So, what do you do? You may ignore it, but then you\u2019re starving by your next meal and you overeat. Or, you look around the office and settle for a couple candy bars that ruin your appetite for your next meal. To avoid this dilemma, here are some tips for planned snacks:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0Notice your hunger patterns. Each person&#8217;s is unique and doesn&#8217;t vary much from from day to day. Most people need their meals plus a snack or two.<\/li>\n<li>Plan for it. Bring in snacks you enjoy to work, and then you\u2019ll have something ready for those hunger pains. Taking a break from work while you snack allows you to eat undistracted. You can return to work refreshed. And your hunger will return in time for your next meal.<\/li>\n<li>Give yourself permission. Planning the snack is the first step in permission giving that will help you avoid bad feelings and binge eating.
