Hi everyone,
I'm wondering what it is you do or eat when you get the muchies, as i'm thinking of trying a few different things to see what works best. Currently if i fancy eating something just for the sake of it ill have some peas. YEP! just wack them in a microwaveable tub, in the microwave for 2 minutes and add a little bit of butter (i dont add butter to anything else, bread/toast etc) :ohwell:
The problem is, im going through 1kg bag of peas in like a week.

SO!.... what do you do? :flowerforyou:

    Eat a higher fat, higher protein diet. Fat and protein are very satiating and will keep you full

    First thing I do is have a glass of water, then if that doesn't work I go for 1/2 a cup of blueberries. Normally that combination alone will hold me for a while.

    I chew some sugar free gum. That typically at least gives me the action of eating. :)

    I usually go for some cheese. A little one oz block of cheddar or Havarti is soooo good. Another thing I've become fond of is Oscar Mayer Carving Board Pulled Pork. They come in a small variety of flavors (I like Sweet & Spicy) and are a great little protein pick me up. I eat it straight from the container, but you can make a little sandwich out of it or something.

    A bowl of frozen vegetables with some herbs, pepper and hot sauce (basically 0 calories) sorts me out and costs almost nothing.

    that would work if i was actually hungry. its that i just want food so instead of going for the chocolate bar i want something healthier and easier to burn.

    Not being hungry doesn't mean you're necessarily eating enough. If you have the munchies, that's your body telling you to eat.

    Personally, if I get hungry, I'll eat 30g of almonds.

    Eat what you want to eat. But, I'll suggest Sabra hummus and carrots chips in the interim.Yum.

    Oh ok, gotchya, in that case, I usually go all bugs bunny and munch on some carrots, they're tasty and very low calorie.

    Slice or cubes of cheese, dill pickles, and anything dipped in roasted garlic hummus are my favorites.
