Fighting hunger?

Question

I am seriously hungry almost all day long. I constantly feel like I could eat a horse! Any tips on feeling fuller longer? I had a giant burrito for lunch (that usually keep me full all day) and I was ready for a snack 2 hours later! Really trying not to gain too much weight, but when I feel like this it's gonna be hard :(

Answer

Protein (eggs, lean meats, beans, Greek yogurt), fiber (oatmeal, bran, almonds, fruits/greens) and LOTS of water.

When I'm starting to feel a little hungry I make myself drink a huge glass of cold water and then tell myself that if I'm still feeling hungry 30 minutes from then it's time for a snack with another big glass of water. Usually that can tide me over until a meal, but if not I wait 30 minutes and repeat.

Just be patient with yourself and trust your gut. It also has helped me to portion out snacks at the beginning of the week so I'm not grabbing something less healthy.

Answer

I just eat all through the day, some healthy some not so much, but it seems to work. No huge meals, just pretty much constantly eating.

Answer

I wish I was in this boat. I have to force feed myself. I haven't been sick at all, just no appetite. I eat "breakfast" at work around 10. Which is normally a granola bar. I do drink a lot of water, then for lunch I can do a sandwich or something easy.

Answer

This isn't good advice but carbs like toast and pasta have been the only things that make me satisfied.  I've stocked up on healthier options like fruit bowls, granola, oatmeal, fruit etc. so I can keep eating all day without feeling guilty for doing so yet giving baby nutrition (I still treat myself to something sweet and delicious everyday).  This is a different kind of hunger than I've ever felt so I just listen to my body and don't fight the hunger. I say don't deprive yourself and snack constantly but with healthier options. My weight gain is right on track according to my doctor for my body type. 19w gained 10lbs

I literally had a BLT and fresh mixed fruit like less then 2hours ago and I'm starving so I feel your pain 😭😭

Answer

As long as you're filling up with healthy stuff, it should help with weight gain. Fruit, whole grains, and lean protein will keep you full longer. Also, lots of water might help. You might try some fruit smoothies made with whole frozen fruit, yogurt, honey, and kale or spinach as your snacks. Eating the processed stuff constantly will pack on the weight...but snacking on veggies here and a fruit smoothie there will not only help keep you full but will be healthy nutrition for your body to soak up.
