Do you ever find yourself starved later in the day around 4pm? Do you sometimes want to pull your hair out of your head because you don’t know what to eat?! Should you have a meal, or a snack? And should you have protein or carbs? These are all legitimate questions!
One major solution to poor eating and major snacking in the late day is eating fiber. Foods rich in fiber help curb your appetite. Now the key is to eat the fiber in the morning so by the time later in the day comes you are not hungry!
I find eating oatmeal in the morning helps with snacking later in the day. Make sure you get some steel cut oats -you can even add flax seeds- and make sure they are crushed. There is also bread made high in fiber or fiber bars -be careful of the sugar in some of these fiber bars!! Also remember to get protein at breakfast as well. Some of you might think this is way too much food, but you can eat the oatmeal and then have a protein shake a couple hours later.
Here Is a great recipe for oatmeal!!
1 cup oatmeal
2 cups of water
When almost ready, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of dried fruit
Flax seeds crushed
Agave to sweeten for taste
Optional: add 1/2 cup of non fat Greek yogurt
