I have now had my baby but finding that I need to still snack whilst Breast feeing so there are some good ideas here. Thanks for all the valid comments. I posted in the non low carb forum as I felt it was where it was appropriately placed. I don't low carb, I understand the need to balance carbs, but whilst pregnant felt that a balanced diet was just as appropriate. As for not snacking because it was 'habit', it was more likely that I was hungry because of the baby that was developing inside me and the 2 1/2 year old that runs round my house like a whirlwind. Thanks again.
