Control the mid-day/late evening nosh

Feel as if you can't get a grip on your appetite?  Try eating an apple 30 minutes prior to meals.  The fiber will fill you up and the nutrition will enhance your mind and body performance.
Start out by snacking on half of the apple for a week and increase to the whole apple if you don't feel satiated when meal time rolls around.  Experiment!  Shop the apple aisle and pick up a variety of flavors. Still hungry at meal time?  Add a one ounce bite of low-fat cheddar cheese or 1 tablespoon nut butter (without additives!)

Don't forget to log the calories in your food journal!  Healthy snacks count, too.
