Hungry what can I do?

There are many ideas, but I do toasted wheat bread with one tablespoon of natural peanut butter and sometimes some bananas on top. I also do rice cakes or the flavored mini ones. Or any snacks, but in moderation. So, if you really just eat one serving of something, instead of a helpin' that is better. lol. I had to learn that myself, because I always ate more than just one serving of foods. or maybe try the five small meals a day thing. It's hard for me to do because I'm a big 3 meal a day type of gal. But, I've heard it works great and cuts down on hunger.

Fruit! Its like candy but good for you! I love dried fruit and granola...maybe some unsalted nuts too. Usually for breakfast I'll have a relatively big meal. Theres an old saying that goes something like eat like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch and a peasant for dinner. Breakfast is SO important cause it jump started your metabolism for the rest of the day! Some other ideas are granola bars, make sure they are all natural so they don't have any of the yucky corn syrup. Fresh veggies with peanut butter, salsa, cottage cheese. Yogurt is awesome too ...I personally like the soy yogurt best with some fruit or granola. Theres so many options! Really you just need to practice portion control and you can eat whatever you please!

I have found that eating oatmeal with cinnamon and splenda for breakfast is a good filler-upper. It keeps me full until lunch time. I eat a frozen meal or Progresso Light Soup with 5 saltines for lunch, but that usually leaves me hungry around 2pm. I then eat the SmartPop 100 calorie pack popcorn. It might smell up the office, but it's a healthy and filling treat. Celery and peanut butter is another good afternoon snack. Whatever you do...stay away from the vending machines! Even the healthiest choices usually aren't very healthy. It's important to bring snacks from home that are healthy that you can munch on throughout the day!

something that my husband and i LOVE for breakfast is one of two different kinds of mcmuffin sandwhiches.
Bacon egg and cheese- this 175 calorie
put one strip of turkey bacon and cook it in skillet - while its cooking put the mcmuffin in the toaster on medium setting, then do
1 egg white- spray a bowl with olive oil pam spray, put in microwave for 30 sec intervals until its cooked the way you like it. I like mine a little runny, after the mcmuffin has warmed, put the fat free american or cheddar cheese on it so it will melt. put the egg then the bacon on it. IT IS DELICIOUS!!!!!
Ham egg and cheese 200 calorie
do it the same way but start the mcmuffin first because the ham does not take long at all to warm, then do the egg and while the egg is warming but the ham on a skillet and let it warm up. I use reduced fat swiss for this one and it is soooo good!!! You can buy the ham being baked and 96% fat free. I got these recipes from the biggest loser cookbooks and they are amazing! You still get the satisfaction of something "bad" but it is healthy!

Fiber One bars are really yummy and filling. They also have 9 grams of FIBER.

On the subject of hunger, I recently found this bit of information in an advertisement...perhaps you'll find it helpful?
REAL HUNGER
-grows gradually
-you'll eat anything
-can wait
-you stop when you feel full
-you feel good after eating
-you feel energized

EMOTIONAL HUNGER
-hits suddenly
-you crave a specific food (usually high in fat)
-needs to be satisfied instantly
-no amount of food fills you
-you feel guilty after eating
-you feel heavier

So I guess my point is sometime feeling hungry needs to be assessed...have you eaten enough calories? Are you wanting to eat to fill some other need? It's a good measuring tool that I'll look at over and over to give myself more insight behind my 'feelings'.

Best wishes to you!
