Hi people,

I am finding it so difficult dealing with hunger pangs and fatigue lately. I am also plateauing (same weight for a couple weeks) which is discouraging.
I am interested to hear what people are eating that is low-cal high energy.
Got a favorite?

    When I get REALLY hungry during the day I reach for either a handful of raw almonds (for the crunchy cravings) or a Fiber One Oats and Caramel Bar (for the sweet cravings...Taste like butterscotch) and then finish with a big glass of ice water.

    Protein and fiber...YUM

    raw almonds or apples. If I need a low calorie food and I have the munchies I eat raw cabbage. I like it.

    You want a filler? - EGG WHITE- salad

    1-2 cups of greens (spring mix, iceberg, spinach - any green and leafy's)
    1-2 T croutons
    1 roma tomato
    1T bacon bits
    4 egg whites (from 4 boiled eggs, yolks discarded)
    1-2T hidden valley bacon tomato ranch (or any salad dressing you can calorically afford)

    When I eat one of these salads, it keeps me waaaaay full.
    GL on keeping healthfully full!

    Leafy greens fill me up with less calories, and caffiene filled diet mtn dew keeps the appetite at bay when I'm fasting.
