\"\"<\/a>When I see outlines for prescribed eating schedules and when I see others talk about their eats, there is one thing stands out to me and that is the snack<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There’s the morning snack occurring between breakfast and lunch.\u00a0 Then an afternoon snack between lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n

Snacking seems like it might be the norm, that the majority of people do indeed snack.<\/p>\n

Are you a snacker?<\/p>\n

I actually am not a snacker at all.<\/p>\n

I eat three meals a day and that’s pretty much it.\u00a0 I really don’t feel the need or desire to snack.\u00a0 Maybe it’s because my meals are large enough that they carry me through the day.\u00a0 Maybe it’s because my body just doesn’t need snacks.\u00a0 Whatever the reason, I think I might be in the minority here.<\/p>\n

Does this mean I don’t ever have a snack? Of course not.\u00a0 Being a female, I have the awesome privilege of having my appetite fluctuate throughout the month.\u00a0 Sometimes I need a snack.\u00a0 It happens.\u00a0 If I don’t get enough produce at lunch, I’ll need a small something a few hours later because I feel empty.\u00a0 Fresh fruit is key to my lunch meal, if I don’t get it, then I can feel that void big time.<\/p>\n

On the occasion that I need that extra snack, my choice is dried fruit, nuts, or sometimes crackers with PB<\/abbr>.\u00a0 Prunes?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You know I love ’em!<\/p>\n

All those things are favorites and are great for a little extra something if I need it.<\/p>\n

And to be clear, I am not talking about desserts or special treats.\u00a0 I’m talking about snacks between or after meals.<\/p>\n

But for the most part, at this stage of my life, snacks aren’t really my thing.<\/p>\n

So how about you?\u00a0 Are you a snacker?\u00a0 Do you need that little extra umph during the day?\u00a0 Do you enjoy snacks and work them into your schedule?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
