I had to take iron supplements both pregnancies and still suffer with my blood sugar tanking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-filling-snack-for-me#post-760266 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:49:35 +0000 plantains 760266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like yo uneed to up your protein. Scrambled eggs are great for keeping you full for ages. I like to eat them with salsa or sriacha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-filling-snack-for-me#post-760260 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:44:16 +0000 MsLipGloss 760260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like you could use a little more (healthy) fat and/or protein for better satiety . . . what about hummus? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-filling-snack-for-me#post-760252 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:41:37 +0000 chopsuey 760252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A smoothie with chia seeds in it? Or just a shot of chia seeds straight up.<br /> Chia fills you up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-filling-snack-for-me#post-760243 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:37:07 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 760243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I went to my postpartum bisit a few weeks ago, I must admit I was a little miffed at the scale. It's only been seven weeks, the nurse gently reminded me but to me, that number was unacceptable. Before Em was born, I weighed in at 166. After Em was born and seven weeks PP, I weighed in at 159. I had basically still only lost her birth weight (6 pounds, 12 ounces). </p> <p>My problem is I'm hungry all the time. I seem to have a bttomless pit of a stomach and an appetite that would make a teenage boy green with envy. I try to reason some of it away as having to chase a toddler everywhere and take care of an infant but this needs to be kept in check. I feel like I spend all day grazing but it isn't candy or anything 'bad' - half of H's banana, a bowl of cereal for breakfast; part or all of a stick of string cheese, grapes; a healthful lunch; yogurt, a cup of dry cereal; flour tortilla, a sweet potato that I share; things like that. But I'm always hungry an hour or two later. </p> <p>Can someone suggest an easy snack that's filling and healthy to get my hunger in check and keep my energy levels up? </p>
