| Okay so I have a completely obsessive compulsive personality, and lucky for me it seems to work on just about anything. So I am addicted to working out. I mean all I think about is going to the gym. How good I am gonna look when this weight is gone, and what my next workout is gonna be. I sit at work all day waiting for the time to pass so I can get home, gte changed and get to the gym. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining, in my opinion that is a good thing, but the problem is, I am having a hard time on my food. Not that I am eating badly or succuming to cravings, it is just the opposite. I am having a hard time reaching my 2,000 calories a day. Plus with all this working out, my body is comstantly wanting food, but I don’t know what to really eat to be fulfilled and btu not blow my diet.I mean I am eating alot of salads and chicken breasts and veggies, but I need some good, high protein, low carb, low fat snack foods. Any suggestions??????????????? |

Nuts are a good choice (esp. Almonds) they are full of protien, fiber and the “good fats”. Also, low-fat cheese works well for me.

I agree on the nuts. Almonds also eaten 30 mins before dinner can help suppress the appeittite too. Makes you feel fuller. Same with peanuts.
Im going through the same thing in order for you to stick with a diet the food has to be good and thats it. And i need to learn how to cook the foods that I like in a healthy way!! try dietbites.com may help . Oh and I love your background were did you get it?
I agree with everyone that said nuts, I have found the Special K protein bars work really well, and they have 4 or 5 different kinds to try. My uncle’s girlfriend is a health nut and she told me about them, eat one of those and you are set for a couple of hours and I believe its about 150 calories but not too sure on that.
I love the 100 calorie snacks. They have them in just about anything now. I find that they will fulfill my need and hold me out until dinner or just needing a little snack. Love these things!!!
Thanks everyone!!!! I really appreciate it!!!
Good for you and your motivation. Keep up the good work and hope you find something to keep your appite at bay
I’d say that almonds work the best for me as well. I like the whole natural ones best but I eat the smokehosue ones as well for variety. What about string cheese? I like the cheddar/mozarella mix. I also make turkey breast and provolone cheese wraps. If I’m having the wraps for lunch I’ll add a sliver of red onion and a piece of green leaf lettuce just to give it more bulk. You could even wrap your in 1/2 a whole wheat or low carb tortilla to make it more filling.
I HAVE TO SAY NUTS AND CHEESE ….
Great job on the exercise. I love your enthusiasm.
