When that 4 pm hunger strikes, don’t we all look impatiently for yummy snacks to have along with the evening cup of chai/coffee. At this time, the urge to munch on to is so strong that it shrouds over the rational to differentiate between what’s healthy and what’s not. This is the time when deep-fried pakoras look the most tempting! But all of us who are trying to lose weight, finding something to snack at 4 pm can be a dicey while also keeping calorie count in mind.
