During the week, I usually am hungry at those times. I teach and usually don't have time for more than a handful of carrot sticks at noon. 3pm is usually a small amount also. Around 6pm is more. Since I've been concentrating on eating slowly, I find I don't want very much in one sitting. Truly weird...
