Here are some things I eat, I do a one-hour class at the gym every day so find I get hungry a lot too (can't compare to BF hunger, sorry )
- 2 rice cakes with cottage cheese (you could use hummus if you prefer, or ricotta, or sliced cheese - as long as it's low fat, or avocado but not too often )
- a small cup of low fat milk with Milo
- a stick of celery cut up with peanut butter (can also use carrot sticks and hummus or salsa)
- low fat greek yoghurt with dried fruit (if you mix this up in the morning and save it for later it's really yummy) - you can add oats to this as well and it becomes like bircher muesli, if you need more carbs
- almonds (only 10-12, Aldi has been selling small boxes of these which are great for the handbag)
I'm a vegetarian so get most of my protein in snacks from dairy, as you can tell! Other than those snacks (normally I will have 2 of those a day), I also have 2 pieces of fruit a day and the 3 regular meals! Gosh that sounds like a lot of food. DH eats a lot of raw protein (since we have a mostly meat-free house), in shake form mostly but occasionally we buy bars. I wouldn't recommend them unless you are trying to build muscle through weight lifting though - better to stick to the "real" food like yoghurt, fruit and nuts! Another idea is to make super healthy muffins (the CSIRO cookbook has a recipe) - you can freeze them so you're not tempted to eat more than one
vita wheats with hommus
corn thins (now come in loads of flavours) with hommus
cut up carrots, cucumber, celery with a healthy dip
a boiled egg
peanut butter on a slice of multigrain toast
ski d'lite yoghurt
banana
apples
small bowl of special K cereal
Hope that gives you some ideas.
I just joined ww and am on a whopping 28 points because of breastfeeding and am actually eating more now than before I started - it's awesome!!
