Within the constraints of your diet (horrible word) maybe eating a bit more for your evening meal would then mean you would not feel peckish in the evening. Hard to suggest things as we don't know the basis of the 'diet'.
Many have nuts, cheese, yoghurt if they are doing low carb or just a nice coffee.
Are you following the official plan from the website https://www.shakethatweight.co.uk/ /as there are lots of 'snack' suggestions.
You have to dig deep to find the carb info for their foods.

At the moment I am on 3 shakes a day, + a salad at around 5ish, I am consuming around 800 calories a day ,some days it is 900, I tried a low fat/ carb diet, but I didn't lose any weight, so I have decided to kick start the weight. Thank you.
I try not to snack too much because I never know when to stop but I sometimes buy nuts (peanuts or walnuts) or as @Leadinglights has said, I will often just have a lovely coffee made with double or single cream, instead of milk and that feels like a pudding
Hi @Sunnyside3049 - don't you think that snacking is sort of defeating the objective of the shake approach to losing weight????
A bit of grim determination not to be tempted might be in order followed by a smug smile of satisfaction when you arrive at the next shake having not succumbed!
Or put another way, it will be tricky to come up with a snack that deals with your peckishness but does not have some calorie content. 😉

Thank you for your reply...I have been told 1 cup of hot Bovril @ 10 calories, will help. I tried it last night, and that is all I needed, also I have lots of grim determination. Sue.
