About Snacks
We scheduled these snacks to best fit our lifestyle. I tend to be an evening eater so I save my snacks for after dinner. Snack carbs are sometimes combined with meals but I have found that it is a good idea to keep some kind of low/no carb food at hand. Some dieticians recommend 5-6 smalls meals a day to keep blood sugar stable. Having recently quit smoking, keeping some nibbles around also helps me get through occasional nicotine pangs.
