Ever have one of those periods of time where you're hungry 24/7? Ya, I'm there. What foods do you eat to fill you up when you're feeling this way?

    Me too! I'm having a "hungry day" today. I try to add more protein on days like this, because it really helps keep me full a lot longer than anything else. Though I usually throw in a little chocolate too, so that I have a little treat. Reward for working so hard yesterday that I'm this hungry today! LOL. That's how I look at it anyway. Only 1 small piece allowed though, food rewards are not healthy when trying to get healthy!

    try to find something with a good amount of protein it will help keep you full. Also you could try oatmeal or 7 grain cereal or eggs.

    My thing is am I REALLY hungry or am I bored? Usually I'm just bored and want to snack all day. If that's the case, I pop a bag of 94% FF popcorn and snack away. By the time I'm done with the bag of popcorn I'm definitely full.

    I keep a bag of almonds in my desk at work for just such occasions. A couple of almonds and I am good to go. Usually it isn't really about being hungry for me is just a feeling of low energy. Seems to help though.

    I'm having one of those days myself! Not bueno. I am on a mission to drink lots of water (while at work) and I'm having tuna salad with crackers, which has a great amount protein. It's just what I need to fight this hunger attack.

    Hey! It's funny that you mention that because lately I've been slacking a little with my calories (eating more than usual) and I'm down 3 lbs! I started doing less cardio and more weights the past 2 weeks...that may also have something to do with it. It's funny how your body responds to changes in routine like that...
