Almonds are a good choice. Quick and easy and they help satisfy hunger pains.0

Don't let yourself get so hungry. My "shut off" is faulty if I do this. I try to graze on veggies, and other sensible snacking food 2-3 hours with hot tea or water tossed in.0

Dry cereal - cheerios and other kinds of that size take awhile to eat. It feels like you are eating more than you are. Also, Chewy bars and Fiber One bars keep me from grazing on bad snacks.0

I'm bumping cause I have this problem and I want to read this all later.0 -
I am the same way! I can't start eating almonds or other small snacks, because I when I am in my "hungry mode", I simply CANNOT stop at just a small handful. My favorite go-to foods during these times are:
1) Smoothies, which I can bulk up with a little protein powder, frozen fruit, almond milk or greek yogurt, water, and PLENTY of ice cubes. Maybe a little oatmeal and a little peanut butter, if I have the extra calories & want something a little more substantial.
2) Egg white (or egg substitute) omlette with chopped bell peppers & onions, and maybe some hot peppers or spinach. OK, let's face it, it's usually an egg scramble with all those ingredients, but it's bulky & filling with high nutrition & low calories.
3) A bowl (1cup) of frozen blueberries, 1/2 packet of Truvia (optional!), and 2 TBSP of lite whipped topping. It settles my ice cream craving, since it's so cold & sweet. I also can't eat it as fast as I can fresh blueberries, so that probably helps.0 -
Protein fluff! I can try to eat a bowl on an empty stomach. And can barely finish half of it. 255 calories xD0

I've learned to listen to my body and actually eat when I'm that hungry. Not junk food, but my healthy snacks. Then I feel much better :flowerforyou:0

Cut out the bread and anything with a lot of sugar in it. Replace with salads, light salad dressing. Start identifying the foods that are eating up all your calories, substitute with lower calorie foods, tomato juice is good and low calorie. baked beans are a good filler.0

Havent checked all the replies, but, it may be your hungry because you know a certain food is available, for example if i know my sister has cake at home, i'm automatically hungry, and i will eat a lot of things to put the cake out of my mind, but still end up eating the cake, so its a matter of not making certain foods available to you.
Your hunger will vanish, and if it is honest hunger, you will only have healthy options available to you.0 -
stuff my face with carrot sticks or drink some coffee.0

Brussel sprouts: roast them with olive oil and sea salt. (400 for about 15-20 min depending on preference) really very tasty. I add extra salt on the days when I am craving something salty. I like the roasted brussel sprouts leftover and cold too.0
-
If I need calories... Oatmeal, Apple and peanut butter, string cheese and banana, wheat toast and almond butter... If don't need calroies (as determined by my mfp counts for the day) I grab raw veggies, drink water and run away from kitchen. I'll distract myself with a movie, or stretching, or taking a walk...0

Make the biggest bowl of raw vegetables that you can. Trust me, you will be sick of eating before you're done.0
-
Frozen spinach with dill and garlic (or garlic and yogurt for creamed spinach).
Broccoli or cauliflower, steamed, roasted, boiled, microwaved, any of those is an option. Then some garlic. If you want, just a little bit of cheese on top, just enough.0 -
Soup helps me! When I'm feeling like that I add in a bowl of butternut squash soup before my meal. (I make a bunch at one time and freeze to use as needed) It's just a bit over 100 calories and it really makes me feel full. My "for example" meal would be soup first, then a bowl of salad with my own vinaigrette (40ish calories a TBSP), and then my chicken breast and vegie.
I eat the soup for lunch, too. Usually with a light sandwich. It really does fill me up.
And TONS of water, of course!0 -
What recipe do you use for your protein fluff? What kind of protein powder? And do you really have to run the mixer for 15 minutes like I heard? It seems like it would overheat! haha0
-
a big volume, low cal option I use is popcorn!
THIS!0 -
Unsalted rice cakes or unsalted rice crackers and hummus.0
-
What is protein fluff?
Veggies, of course; popcorn, rice cakes. Those are the best for me when the beast is lurking.0
