Low glycemic foods
I tried bran cereals today 'cause I read that lower glycemic food lasts you longer, fills you better or what ever you want to call it. It works! 4 hours later I still feel full! Does anybody have recipes for low glycemic foods? Not that the bran cereal tastes really great, but if it works, I'll eat it.

more calories..
I plan out my meals and I usually have more calories left than carbs to use for dinner and a snack. For example, I would have like 500 calories left, but only 15-25 carbs, after I have eaten breakfast, lunch, and a snack. I eat 55% of my calories from carbs, and I did want to change that to 50% over time. What foods have a…
