Moderators Tom Denham Posted May 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2014 Boiled eggs are a good snack food. I like baked sweet potatoes, to which I sometimes add dried raisins and macadamia nuts. I am pretty sure you need to eat more at meals. Two eggs is too light for all but the tiniest people. Three or even four is usually about right.

Anna Salazar Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 you are definitely right. two eggs used to seem like an insurmountable amount of food for me and now i can throw it back in less than ten seconds. and then im hungry again in two hours. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlynne Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Anna, I am also a nurse and I work 12 hour night shifts. I have found the once I increased my protein and fats, especially m1 and m2, I was able to go 5 hours between meals without truly being hungry. I struggled with "thinking" that I was hungry because I was used to having something to eat at certain times during my shift. When I am really busy and truly do get hungry, I keep a small handful of nuts or toasted coconut and a beef stick (whole30 approved), prosciutto, etc handy for a quick snack.
