Ladies- I am starving during the day - what foods are filling you up?
I get to work at 7:15 and don't eat lunch until 12:25 or so - so it's a long morning. I eat breakfast at my desk - small 4 oz Activia yogurt. I usually end up eating a packet of instant oatmeal a little later and then always end up with a granola bar or fruit - whatever I have.
I am seriously starving all morning long. A lot of times I can't finish lunch so I'm ok in the afternoon - but am seriously ravenous all morning long! What is filling you up? I guess I should incorporate more protein - cheese, hardboiled egg, etc
What's working for you?
Thanks!

search my posts and you'll see i had the same issues!
your breakfast is not enough!
the 2 things that have worked for me for breakfast are:
1) low-sugar apples & cinnamon oatmeal... and a piece of toast with a sliced hardboiled egg.
or
2) a big bowl of fiber-one cereal with a sliced banana... with soy milk.
those 2 fill me up! i eat those at 6:30ish and i'm good until at least 9!
--
so usually at 9 or 9:30 i'll have a fiber one bar (oats and chocolate!)
then at 11 i have an apple.
around 12:30 i have lunch - PBJ and pretzels with hummus...
then 2:30ish I have a few cookies

add fruit for bulk to fill you up when you eat
protein will keep you satiated (add cheese, eggs, piece of left over chicken etc)
keep sugar to a min in the morning

Maybe you should eat more in the morning. Along with your yogurt, maybe have some hardboiled egg whites (only 50 calories for 3!!) and a little natural peanut butter on a multigrain English muffin or toast. That will hold you off longer than just the yogurt. Plus yogurt usually has a lot of sugar so it doesn't stay in your system that long.
I also like nuts/trail mix or 2% cheese on wheat bread. Apples and bananas are filling as well.

Before I leave for work, I will have eggs, or cereal...cheerios w/ bananna
Mid morning snack around 11 am- apples and cheese or yogurt and granola bar, etc.
that is usually enough to keep me satisfied until lunch which would be 1-2pm.

Re: Ladies- I am starving during the day - what foods are filling you up?
Thanks for the suggestions, ladies. I realize that I'm packing a lot of snacky type things, but nothing really of substance, which is why I'm so hungry. I definitely need to start bulking up the morning meal - even if it's having leftovers from dinner!

I think you should be eating a little more for breakfast to start with. I find an apple w/ string cheese is a good boost for me. Also, fiber one bars help me make it to the next meal.

You my dear are not eating enough! Keep the yogurt, but add a hard boiled egg and string cheese. Trail mix is good, so is fruit. I have a bagel with cc and an apple.
