Be Prepared

“If you’re having cravings regularly, such as at 3 p.m., it could be because you’re not getting what your body needs earlier on, such as protein. Or, if your cravings start after dinner at 8 p.m., it’s probably more emotional, such as stress,” says Morgan. Once you know your trigger times, arm yourself with pre-portioned snacks that you package at the start of the day so you don’t overdo it when your cravings inevitably strike. Try an apple with a single-serve packet of almond butter. Or, depending on your specific cravings, fill plastic baggies with an ounce tortilla chips, 48 pistachios, or ¼ cup dried fruit such as mango.
