Hi Denise,

Oh good, glad you are including those complex carbs!

That is a long stretch between lunch and dinner. Adding in planned snacks is just fine, but instead of fruit, how about a protein / carb snack? Having enough food, on time, and with a protein / complex carb really helps to maintain steady blood sugar, and that is one of the things the first 3 steps help us to do.
