You girls are awesome for using such a crappy circumstance to team up and stay motivated! Good luck! If you ever need some motivation let me know.

I am in the same boat as you! I'm in school for social work. I'm taking 5 classes (15 credit hours) and I work 40-50 hours a week. I def feel your pain! I didn't think anyone else on here understood how hard it is while in work and school. So glad I read your post!

This didn't post everything I wanted to say from what I can see! Lol. Does anyone have any suggestions to combat these two issues??

Pure protein bars are pretty good if you get the right flavored. Some flavored can be high in sugar. However, they fill me up and keep my full for a long time!

Meal prep, meal prep, meal prep! I work 10 hour days 4 days a week and I'm more than a full time student. Most days I go straight to class from work. The thing that has helped me stay on track the most is prepping my breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for the entire week on my only day off. It's literally an entire day event…

Thank you all so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it.

Welcome!

I try to find reliable sources. I don't just listen to the first thing the first person I talk to says. I've had multiple doctors recommended it. I've attached a short article explaining. But hey, to each their own! Whatever makes you feel good throughout the day is what you should do. I didn't mean to offend you if I did.…

I don't think it's an almond issue. I haven't made smoothies too often in the past but I used to take small baggies of almonds to work because they fill be up. How much fat intake would I need compared to fiber intake?

I usually do half a banana, four strawberries, one stalk of kale, a small handful of spinach, 6 oz of yogurt, and probably about a half cup of almond milk.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I seem to get the stomac cramps after I drink the smoothies I make. I put yogurt, almond milk, bananas, strawberries, kale, and spinach in them.

Thank you all so much! I have added each of you. Hopefully we can help keep each other motivated.

I always heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is what jump starts your metabolism which will cause you to be hungrier throughout the day. But that's not a bad thing! You want your metabolism to be jump started. Put good into your body and you will get good out.

Good luck! You can do it!
