Picture a voracious beast gnashing down on anything fatty and puffy—a seal, a tourist, a doughnut—that happens to float by. That's you, every day, around 3 PM. Your targets: sugary and calorie-loaded drinks, chips, crackers, candies, cake, and pastries.

(Learn how a simple cooking hack can help you drop pounds – and get dinner on the table in record time !)

But as you're about to see, snacking doesn't have to mean indiscriminate feeding. "Use between-meal eating to deliver nutrients you're not getting otherwise," says New York City-based registered dietitian Willow Jarosh.

Here, 15 delicious snacks to tame your midday hunger beast, whether you're craving something salty, crunchy, savory, creamy, or a little sweet:

SALTY SNACKS

Travis Rathbone

Curry Roasted Chickpeas: Heat 1 1/2 tsp olive oil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup rinsed, drained, and dried Eden Organic No Salt Added Chickpeas (thumbs-up for their BPA-free cans). Cook 5 to 7 minutes, flipping frequently. Toss with 1/2 tsp curry powder and a generous pinch each of cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. (Psst! Here are 9 misleading food labels you should avoid.)

Tuna & Feta Salad Mix: 3 oz canned tuna with 1/2 cup chickpeas, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 3 Tbsp feta, 1 tsp olive oil, and 1 tsp red wine vinegar.

Chips & Guacamole: Combine 1/3 mashed avocado with 2 Tbsp chopped tomato, 1 Tbsp chopped onion, 1 tsp fresh lime juice, and a generous pinch each of garlic powder, chili powder, and sea salt. Serve with 10 Garden of Eatin' Black Bean Tortilla Chips ($33 for a pack of 12 bags, amazon.com), which we love because they're made from organic corn and black beans (that means more protein for staying full).
