Always hungry! What satisfies your hunger the most?

preggoandglowing · July 2015

I'm sick of fruit, nuts & crackers and they don't fill me up. I'm literally hungry every 30 mins. What are you all eating/snacking on? Need to try something new.

ammnam14 · July 2015

Chinese food! Mmm!

cedixon2 · July 2015

I adore a handful of cheese it's, teaspoon of peanut butter, and half a cup of shelled edemame.

merbear32 · July 2015

I know you said you were sick of fruit but nectarines and cheese are awesome.

Gingermom15 · July 2015

I love cheese. I put it in everything and eat it by itself and it is so so good. It fills me up better than any other snack.
Plus, I'm lactose intolerant so it doesn't back me up. Lol.

Hot dogs...always hot dogs.

Mmm cheese on top of hotdogs.

grkgdss00 · July 2015

Definitely cheese (string cheese, Baybel) or an apple with peanut butter always does the trick.

sharonholck28 · July 2015

Right now I can't get enough cereal. Specifically cinnamon toast crunch. It's been waking me up in the middle of the night cause I want it.

laura6006 · July 2015

popcorn and pretzels and subs

kmkaull2 · July 2015

I just upped my protein intake because I think I was a little low. Protein bars, cheese, peanut butter, hummus and vegetables help ward off my hunger. I am finding that I need a bedtime snack of fruit and protein or a bowl of cereal or I wake up starving. TMI, but I am really starting to have problems with constipation, so I am trying to not consume so much dairy. Ugh.

Cjaff70 · July 2015

Eggs. They fill me up. I can eat tons of carbs and get no where but eggs and I'm full for two hours ( which is pretty good for me nowadays)

How is low protein recognizable? What did you look for that led you to believe you were?

babycameron83 · July 2015

Peanut butter on bread or rice cakes usually fills me for a little while

kleshelle · July 2015

I second all the peanut butter posts, I especially love dipping apples in it! Can't get enough! Sadly I cut cheese out of my diet because of BM issues.

kleshelle · July 2015

Peanut butter & banana sandwiches rock too! There's not much peanut butter doesn't go with oddly enough...

preggoandglowing · July 2015

All great ideas. Me love some cheese too!

Marchmellow2 · July 2015

Chicken fills me up. Grilled chicken mmmmmm. Actually I think protein of any kind fills me up.

minceys4 · July 2015

I miss meat but I can't seem to be able to eat any kind... The only thing I want is cucumbers

That's my favorite cereal at the moment too!!! And I went to have a bowl last night and DH ATE IT ALL!!! I was mad... I settled for Frosted Flakes. I'm loving my carbs of course... And cheese... Cheese on carbs and milk... I'm still a Mac and cheese fanatic. Chocolate milk is amazing too.

I just wondered (I was anemic last pregnancy, and have been very hungry lately) and realized the recommendation is 80-120 g. Per day in pregnancy. I do not eat nearly that normally.

valnchrisbaby · July 2015

Protein snacks like peanut butter, hummus, cheese, eggs, even protein bars help. It def keeps me satisfied for longer.

I also make sure to eat cheese right before bed so I don't wake up starving! I hate waking up to pee in the night I don't want to wake up starving too ugh!

Interesting. I've upped my protein intake but I bet not to that amount. I am starving all the time, good excuse to eat more protein which happens to be in all the best foods

Taylovesbrad · July 2015

Yeah I always start with protein and veg or fruit. Then if I'm still hungry I eat a smaller portion of a carb.

grkgdss00 · July 2015

My midwife told me yesterday I should be adding a little protein to every meal/snack. She said that's best for mom/baby during this time. Just thought i'd pass along.

dientje · July 2015

Pita chips and guacamole....matter of fact guacamole on everything!

Gingermom15 · July 2015

I can also eat an entire batch of sautéed mushrooms. So delicious. And steak tastes especially awesome to me.

Court11152325 · July 2015

Quest protein bars (chocolate chip cookie dough) are high in protein and fiber. Love them. I also have whey protein with milk every morning. Definitely getting protein helps me feel full longer, though it certainly hasn't cut my craving for brownies...

momotheflyinglemur · July 2015

PB&J and bowls of Cheerios.

awrtz92 · July 2015

Chunky peanut butter is awesome

KreecherMom · July 2015

Yes on cereal!

Yes on cucumbers!

But for REALS, C-H-E-E-S-E. Especially melted on a few tortilla chips. I add some salsa and pretend I'm getting a serving of vegetables.

EDIT for quote fail---------------------

Frequent hunger is a sign you're not getting enough protein, but recommendation for pregnancy is 80-110g per day.

monbustam05 · July 2015

Chocolate milk!! so delicious!

Whovian84 · July 2015

My latest filling snack craze has been Greek yogurt with blueberries, nuts or cereal, chia seeds, and/or honey. I also agree to the peanut butter and cheese. I can't stop!

ChiccoBeanz · July 2015

I have juice and water before I eat, but sadly Velveeta shells and cheese with real pieces of broccoli mixed in does the trick for me. That and Pizza.....

GodIsFaithful93 · July 2015

I'm a cereal freak right now. Can't get enough. Usually for breakfast & my late night snack when baby wakes me up in the middle of the night for food.

groovylocks · July 2015

Peanut butter (or any kind of nut butter) by the spoonful. I started doing this because my food aversions have made me almost completely raw vegan and I'm not getting enough protein by a long shot. And i'm feeling it. So I slam back a few spoonfuls of peanut butter and i feel a lot better.
