I've been trying to eat healthy and lose weight for the last couple of weeks and I have been finding it very hard recently. I been doing the insanity workout in the mornings and I'm doing well with my food, but between lunch and dinner I have this hunger that doesn't go away, even after having a snack!

Does anyone have a good snack/food that could get rid of my hunger and keep me going until my next meal? Thanks

    Give your stats (weight, height), and open your diary.

    Everyone is different.. But what keeps me going between meals is:

    -yogurt or cottage cheese with protein powder mixed in
    -a huge bowl of roasted broccoli
    - a couple boiled eggs
    - Quest bar

    Not all of them together lol I choose one or the other.

    Good mix of fat/protein and fiber. What works best for me is full fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt (or a piece of cheese) and fruit.

    Yep. Or I'll have some leftovers from the night before. Good luck! You can do this! :)

    Anything high in protein also high fiber foods. Remember you are working out on top of your daily activity the body is like a machine it needs fuel to run. So make sure your calories intake is appropriate for the activity. But also make the calories count.

    I had this problem at first as well. The nutrition guy at the gym asked to see my food log and pointed out that I was burning almost double my intake of calories with my exercise and daily activity. So I had to increase my caloric intake at each meal/snack to compensate.

    A slice off a chicken breast and a teaspoon of olive oil with some chopped veggies. You can make it for 100 calories and it seems like a mini meal. Then drink a big glass of water or two and wait... Maybe do a chore around the house. By the time you're done you should be feeling great! Good luck!

    A serving of Walnuts (28g) and a Banana (about 110 g) -- Or Cheddar Cheese (28g) and a serving of nuts (28g) works for me
