Have you ever felt hungry during the day? Here are a few tips so that you never have to cheat on your diet.

What to always have in the pantry
• Walnuts
• Oatmeal
• Tea ( English Breakfast or other assorted flavored teas)
• Protein drinks
• Peanut butter
and keep a bag of cut lettuce in your fridge

Now, let's say you get hungry
1. Before 12 noon and until 3 pm
2. From 3 pm to 12 midnight
3. After midnight

Here's what you can do
1. During this time, you can do more carbs but hey, remember, good carbohydrates only. So, you can have an extra half cup of brown rice or 1 cup of oatmeal, any oats will do. If you will like something more tasty, you can also get a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter.

2. This is actually the worst time of the day. Why? Because your metabolism is slowing down. Yes, so everything you eat has to be carefully calculated. Here, we are talking specifically about carbs. So, what you can do is fill yourself with an assortment of tea.

You may also add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Now, here is where the cut lettuce comes in. Open that bag of veggie and make yourself a salad. If you like, you may add a little protein too.

3. During my competition days, I felt that this was the time for growing. So just get that extra protein boost now. You don't need the carbs. If you don't want a protein drink, get some small pieces of chicken breast instead.

That's it! So now there's no excuse to cheat anymore.
