Cookies are for special times

I spoke to a nutritionist today about my issue with my 3rd meal.

"I'm hypoglycemic so I have 4 small meals a day."
"Good. 8 a.m., Noon, 4 p.m., and 8 p.m.?"
"Yes, But I'm not sure about what I should do for my 3rd meal? Right now I eat a box of cookies."
"Cookies are for special times."
"Like 4 p.m.?"
"No. You need carbs and protein."
"Like peanut butter cookies?"
"Like peanut butter and an apple."
"Isn't that a lot of sugar?"
"You need a lot of sugar. Or hummus and veggies."

I've given up the 4 p.m. cookies for lent. PB&J it is.
