Anyone else hungry all the time?

I am ebf and I am so hungry. Much more so then when I was pregnant. I know nursing moms need more calories then normal or when pregnant, but this is getting ridiculous. I just had a bowl of cereal, as an after lunch snack, and I feel like I have not eaten at all.

Are you hungry all the time? What do you eat that makes you feel full? What are your favorite healthy snacks?

Yep. I just cut my work out short because I was so hungry I was shaking. The best snack I have found that's filling are Pure Protein bars. They have 20 grams of protein and only 3 grams of sugar for about 200 calories. When I eat one of those I'm usually okay for an hour or two. I also eat way too many lactation cookies and trail mix since they are easy and I can eat them one handed.

starving all the time. and I am eating way to many cookies (one-handed food).  But I was thinking about it the other day and some of the "hunger" may be thirst. Try drinking a big glass of water everytime you want to eat. You need it anyway and it might hold you over for a little while.

I am always starving, I hate it. I've started gaining weight b/c a young baby I don't have time to make healthy meals, so I eat junk all of the time.

yup as of the last week or so.....i wouldn't mind as much if i could find the time and energy to get to the gym! I would also like some ideas of filling snacks....i'll usually put pb on top of a snack i'm eating and that seems to do the trick right now.
