Weight Loss How to avoid the BINGE Eating Apr 21 2009

Good points......

Perhaps the word BINGE is not the best word to be used.  I wouldn't say that I get to a point of being "out of control and unable to stop" but when I'm sitting around not doing much I snack and snack... for me I'd call that a binge. 

I think on here I am allotted 1950cals per day and I try to stick to that... anything over that greatly I'd consider a binge. 

Again, perhaps not the best word to describe what I was trying to get too.

What is the serving size on those and calorie content?

I find those a little too bland....but then again all the salt is not good either.

I was going to ask the same thing today about snacks.....

I like the idea of the almonds because I like them but what kind do you buy?  I know there are so many out there and since calories count I don't want to waste calories on something that will not carry me to my next meal.

What about veggies other than the normal carrot sticks, etc.  I like those but when I am at work ... my co-workers don't want to hear me munching on carrots.... gets annoying like the person who smacks and cracks their chewing gum!!
