Starving 15 mins after eating an apple and a yogurt

CattOfTheGarage

If you want a more satisfying snack, I like an oatcake with an ounce of cheese and either an apple or some grapes. If oatcakes aren't a thing where you are, you could go for a wholegrain cracker (but oatcakes are great, I find them really satisfying for not many calories).

Something about apples always makes me feel hungry after I eat them (for years). I actually think maybe it's the fiber or the way it's digested maybe upsets my stomach and the feeling is confused as hunger.

I use to buy strawberry greek yogurt (chabane...spelling?) and I would stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter. It sounds gross, but it was freaking delicious. and it really added some filling power to the yogurt.

Also, if you don't like peanut butter (or is doesn't fit your macros), you can stir in a serving of raw almonds. That is good too.

??
If peanut butter doesn't fit your macros, how will raw almonds? The macro profiles are pretty much identical:

1 Tbsp peanut butter (32 g): 191 cal, 16 g fat, 7 g carbs, 7 g protein
32 g almonds: 185 cal, 16 g fat, 7 g carbs, 7 g protein

fair enough.

Actually that will depend on the brand you eat. My Blue diamond natural almonds have 160 calories for 28 g. My Smucker's natural peanut butter has 200 calories for 32 g. Almonds (or any nuts) which have been roasted and have added oils will have a different profile from ones that haven't been through those processes.

Those are rounded values from brand labels with a 14% difference in the serving weights; pretty sure at those calories rounding to nearest multiple of 10 is allowed. The values I showed were for equal weights of almonds and peanut butter from the USDA database (although I admit to rounding to the nearest gram, and I don't know whether they were using a peanut butter with sugar and/or non-peanut oils added -- however, that mainly makes a difference in the lipid breakdown, not total fat.)

The coffeehouse I stop by on the way to work every morning has a breakfast sandwich consisting of a baked egg, a slice of bacon, and a slice of cheese on a small francese roll, working out to 327 calories if I've figured it correctly. That particular combination of protein, fat, and carbs keeps me feeling satisfied for hours afterward. Try something like that, if your habitual breakfast isn't keeping you feeling sated.

I find eating snacks just makes me way more hungry a short time later.

So instead I just have more substantial meals. And if I feel hungry between them, I just stick it out. It only lasts 10 minutes or so then you feel fine again.

They don't make me hungry, but they make me burp. Related, maybe? Like a false alarm hunger signal because of trapped wind?

If it was a sugary yogurt and not a good greek yogurt, I'd be starving too. It's all sugar.

It was a raspberry Greek style yogurt

I didn't read all replies, but to the OP, apples do same thing for me. When i eat one, i feel hungrier than before and it stays that way until i eat something else. So i don't usually have apples for a snack. Yogurt is a different story though, it will keep me full for a while. So, maybe, try a different fruit or a veggies with the yogurt. I do put half an apple into my morning smoothie, with other fruit, veggies and nuts. Keeps my full until lunch. And i drink it early as well, about 7.15am. Hope it helps

Always! Need to chuck some oats in

Veggies with a little dip instead of fruit with yogurt might work, if the sugar is what is stoking hunger after eating it. I think you need to try different things, until you find what works for you. I often eat a few bites of leftover chicken, or a few forks of whatever protein dish from the day before as a snack. If I'm at work, I put those few extra bites in my lunch, and save the snack part for snack time.

An apple and yoghurt does nothing for me either, try a handful of almonds, a bit of cheese or even a chocolate biscuit that will equate to the same calories, im guessing 100-150 cals? U need something with fat in it if u want to feel satisfied. As for breakfast I always have egg on toast sometimes with lean bacon and that always keeps me going till lunch. Im amazed your losing so well this close to goal on that amount of calories. Im 5'11 and 17lbs from goal and only on 1350 cals a day and lucky if I lose 1 lb a week.

If you are hungry, truly hungry...you need to eat more. Even just a bit more. Listen to your body.

Try Greek yogurt, which has more protein than regular, and add a tablespoon of either chia seeds or peanut butter to your yogurt (and some sweetener if you need it). That combo keep me full for a few hours, whereas regular yogurt doesn't do much. That, and drink water with the meal.

For me, high carb/low carb doesn't matter. I have to eat the bulk of my calories between 7am-2pm. Then my hunger just shuts off and I'm fine. Otherwise, I'm simply starving all day and can never "catch" the hunger.

Its funny to me how when someone mentions hunger its like a medical emergency.
When you are on a calorie reducing diet hunger may come, don't panic.
Remember, who are the people who don't get hungry ? Unhealthy people. People who have cancer or some other
chronic illness.

have a big cup of tea or big glass of cold water and remember hunger is a sign of a normal HEALTHY metabolism

If it starts to affect your mood and your work performance, then I would consider upping the amount of protein and fiber you have with your snack. Especially soluble fiber. These things slow your digestion and help keep you
fuller longer.

Good luck

I love apples, but they tend to make me feel full for just a bit, but then hungrier. I don't understand it, but it happens pretty much every time.

I'm usually the same way.

How does being hungry = healthy? If I'm not hungry, I'm unhealthy?
