I indulge in a big cup of Milo (and usually a heaped teaspoon full of milo too) in all but summer - in summer it doesn't happen as I drink heaps of water.
Sometimes I go the odd packet of chips - I am not good but I will not worry about it as long as my weight stays between 70 & 80 kg. If I do go above 80kg I just force myself to stay above 30km/h on the shared path all the time on the way home and watch the snacks I eat. Presto 3 weeks later I am back where I should be - keep going one more week because fast is fun and then usually stuff up again.
It also only seems to happen this time of the year.
what do you eat when the 3pm munchies strike?

Not fast, no style, but still get there.

The simplest method is to base your intake on a standard 'calories per unit of weight (usually kilograms)'. Typically:
- 26 to 30 kcals/kg/day for normal, healthy individuals with sedentary lifestyles doing little physical activity [12.0-14 kcal/pound]
I am a male, 87kg, 20% bodyfat. BMR is ~1800 Cals, TDEE = 2300. 30 * 87 = 2610 Cals.
That 300 Calorie overestimate is going to see me with 14kg extra fat at the end of a year.
For an 87kg 'normal' woman, BMR = 1650Cals and TDEE = 2100 Cals. So they'll be 23kg heavier at the end of the year.
If you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough.

I used to do this, eat the little snack size ones in the afternoon, until I started taking more notice of the Nutritional section on the back.westab wrote:......

Most I find are at least 30% fat so I now avoid them completely

I ride home at ~ 3:30pm. This sort of helps me avoid the afternoon munchies. I drink some water before and during the ride and I have a small handful of nuts when I get home. We always have dinner around 6pm. I find I get the munchies worse when I don't ride and chips are my enemy.

If I am home then ice cream always enters my mind with strawberry topping (yummmmmmm).... but luckily I am working most of the time and have a lovely variety of fruit
