For some reason after working out today I can't stop eating, I would probably eat the furniture if I thought it tasted good.

What do you have around the house that doesn't go off like veg for those times you can't stop eating?

I'm going with wholewheat toast at the moment and some low fat chips, but that couch is looking mighty filling :)

    My go-tos when I'm hungry are low-sodium jerky, cheese sticks, nuts, hummus, and Greek yogurt. I find trying to get enough protein usually helps to keep the hunger away.

    If I am hungry after a workout I go for a protein shake. It fills the hunger need plus the protein is good for muscles.

    ^^^Toss in a banana for added filler and this is the best^^^

    Protein really hits the "Full meter" hard.

    I'm weird, I don't like sweet stuff like fruit, like I said the veg is good when we have some, or we have hard boiled eggs in the fridge. I might have to bring the protein shakes home from work though.

    Yeah, I was going to say eggs. They don't take long to scramble, and I like to throw in some spinach and feta cheese. Yum!

    I'm a big fan of hummus and veggie slices, frozen grapes or a protein shake or smoothie.

    I make a smoothie with Greek yogurt, a frozen banana (sliced before freezing) a tad of honey, a little almond milk, and spinach.

    Ahhh I want one now.
