How to stay fuller longer especially at the end of the day

exercise is really important, even a quick 20 minute workout will help. Not only will you gain more calories so you can snack a little more, but it's really important for weight loss and overall health. Once I stopped making excuses for myself and started running, I fell in love with it and now I don't want to stop. It helps me FEEL better which is overall what we all want isn't it?

I'm a full time student and work nights after school. I try and squeeze in ANY exercise that I can. A break at school, or at work. Try and go for a 10 minute walk or something. You will have extra calories to eat when you do get hungry.

Try to get a lot of low cal snacks. I am hungry a lot, so I stocked up on 100 calorie bars and special K breakfast bars. I eat eggs or oatmeal in the morning.

Hope that helps..

The only problem with stocking up on 100 calories snacks is that you have to be able to only eat one... or however many.... that's the hard part for ME!

I have started trying to go to bed hungry... it makes me feel like I am accomplishing something for the day... weird.. I know!

Big salads... Raw fruits and vegetables tend to fill you up.

Can't see your food diary, so IDK if you are already doing what I do. But, when I had problems with this, I lowered my carb intake and bumped up the protein. I will typically have a piece of low fat cheese right before bed, and it seems to be working for me pretty well.! I like Jorge Cruises Belly Fat Cure Fast Track diet best. Good luck

It's not just how much you eat, *what* you eat counts as well. I don't exercise much, either, but I've managed to lose weight just by changing my diet. Try eating fewer carbs (which are burned very quickly by the body; they start digesting even before they get to your stomach!) and more protein (which is both digested and burned more slowly). You can eat the same number of calories, but protein will keep you full for much longer. I like to snack on a cheese wedge, a hard-boiled or deviled egg, a piece of beef jerky, Greek yogurt, or a protein powder drink. Avoid things like crackers, chips and fruit at the end of the day.

Also, try pre-planning your day. Every morning, I log what I *think* I will eat during the day, including at snack times. What I'm bringing for lunch, what I plan to do for supper, etc. Then if the total is over my goals, I can tweak it ahead of time. At the end of the day, I may or may not have stuck with my plan, and I usually have to go in and change some of my entries. But at least the pre-planning gives me a good way to try & budget my calories ahead of time and leave a little extra for a bedtime snack.

Good luck!

i would try and fill up on fruitand vegatables how about making a vegatable soup for breakfas t this mornin i had 125g of brown rice whith dry roasted veg a boiled egg and 35g of tuna mixed in filled me up till lunch and i am a terible one for s nacking weird for breakfast but did the trick

I try to eat more fiber and protein during the day, it keeps me fuller thru the whole day. And if I'm hungry at around bed time, I have a big cup of sleepy time tea (16oz)

A piece of gum is another thing that helps me if I feel I have to chew something.

Eat less calories earlier in the day and more calories at night, essentially allowing yourself to eat late without going over.

I soooooo wish this was the case with me, I have tried this theory out so many times and I always feel hungry within 30 minutes

Really?? Do you eat them with your regular meal? I don't just eat them alone. But for instance I eat a big salad with my lunch everyday. I tend to stay full until dinner.

I've found that I need some fat and protein to stay full longer. Fruit and veggies have fiber and fill me up for a bit, but those carbs burn off quick. Something like a string cheese, a boiled egg, or a tablespoon of peanut butter work much better for me even though they have a smaller volume. Each of those three options is less than 100 calories.

Also, being that you work and are a student, how do you have your activity level set? Even if you don't have time for much in the way of deliberate exercise, you're probably fairly active just living your daily life. Are you set to lightly active or higher? You might try bumping your setting up one notch for those few extra calories to allow for a small evening snack.
