DanielleBuen Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Today is only my first day so when meal planning I did not plan for a snack but at 10:40 I felt hugry so I ate a serving of almonds is this a good choice for a snack and do you all snack often on the Whole30?

GFChris Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hunger in between meals can be an indication that your earlier meals need to be bigger. The idea is to create meals that satiate you for 4-5 hours.The Whole30 recommended meal template is 1-2 palms of protein, 1-3 cups of veggies and the appropriate amount of compliant fat per meal. Play around with each of those portions until your meals keep you satisfied for 4-5 hours. In the meantime, if you're genuinely hungry in between meals (hungry = you could eat steamed fish and broccoli), have a mini meal that includes a protein and fat. Nuts are a fat source on a Whole30.

**Ann** Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I have found on this W30 journey, that my first meal, to be frank, needs to be gigantic. LOL I need to eat a bigger meal at breakfast than I do at the other two meals for the rest of the day to stave off hunger before lunch. The times I got stuck in the beginning and was at work, I had to resort to hard boiled eggs and natural whole almonds as a snack because nothing else in the work building was compliant. It took me a few days to figure out I need a very large breakfast to keep me satiated. I have also found that eating leftovers for breakfast (rather than pack for lunch) made more sense for me in terms of keeping me satisfied without the urge to snack. Since I don't pack my leftover dinner for lunch, I do find that I'm making a separate lunch at night (which kinda sucks), but its the only way for me to avoid eating the same meal 3 times in a row (dinner, breakfast, lunch). For lunch, I primarily stick to a chicken or tuna salad and then a green salad for side, so they are easy lunches to prepare. I've also found I like ground beef in the mornings better than any other time of day. Odd, I know, but something about ground beef and mashed cauliflowr in the morning makes total sense to me now. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
