[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 519926, member: 11791"] Snacks... We found that a good (i.e. 40/30/30 split) balance of carbs, protein, and fat, kills hunger faster and lasts longer. Ditto for meals. Blood sugar spikes lead to blood-sugar crashes... which leads to major carb cravings. It sounds counter-intuitive to be adding protein and fat (calories!), but... it works. We also find it really pays to pre-portion snacks - into small containers, baggies, whatever. Kids have trouble with portion sizes. [/QUOTE]
