If you're good with handling hunger - that's great!

A lot of people get hypoglycemic (ie, irritable) when low on blood sugar, so for them, snacking is an acceptable evil (esp. if only healthier snacks are stocked).

For me, I find whipping up some dill/garlic/mayo dip + cut carrots, or celery + good PB a meaningful snack.

My guideline is to try to find a good carb/fiber ratio (pref: 5:1), and avoid added sugars.

People without diabetes don't get hypoglycaemia. I believe you can train yourself to expect food at certain times. I eat two meals a day and only get irritable (hangry) around those times.

But anyway, what you've written is basically my point. If you want/need to snack then unless you think ahead and make healthy snacks available then it's going to sugar/junk that you find in the socially acceptable junk machine.
