filling recipes needed

fathead pizza dough. You can find the recipe easily by googling it. It is easy to make and extremely filling. If you make it in a square and cut it into bread sized pieces it makes a very filling sandwich and is tough enough to not fall apart. It is made with almond flour but does not taste like almonds. I put quite a bit of italian seasoning in mine but whatever you like would be fine. It is very low carb.

What kind of food do you want to eat?

Low Carb?
Keto?
Healthy Plate?
Veggie?

And are you wanting snacks to boost blood glucose? prevent hunger? fast release? slow release? before or after exercise?

Sorry to bombard you with questions, but they way you answer will mean you get different responses from us.

Wow - that is really high carb - have you actually calculated the grams of carbs you are consuming each day? Are you on insulin?

@TonyFowler
- Have a read of this web page: http://www.artandscienceoflowcarb.com/the-art-and-science-of-low-carbohydrate-performance/
then maybe buy their book and look at our low carb recipes section.

Hi again

That looks like you are aiming for high carb high protein. I can understand why you are doing that for gym work, but what does it do to your blood glucose levels?

Protein and fat fill us up and release slowly, so they keep us fuller for longer. While carbs (porridge, sultanas, sweet potato) fill us up for a very short time then leave us hungry again.

So if you want to have a good sustaining breakfast that will last all morning without the endless snacking, try bacon and eggs or ham and cheese or a bulletproof coffee (google it )

Hope that helps

@TonyFowler hi, I'm type 1 not type 2, and I eat a lower-carb diet. I manage to stave off hunger (I swim and run) with snacks of pepperoni, pate, cheese, peanuts, ham, eggs, high-meat sausages and the like.

I have a massive fry-up after my weekend run. I eat lots and lots of eggs. This week when I'm going back to my evening running one evening I'm going to have a snack of some cheese an hour or so before I go out, and when I come home I'm going to have the world's biggest omelette, a sugar-free jelly and some cream.

These are all low-carb options - I appreciate that I'm type 1 on insulin and you're not, so please just take this as 'information' not 'advice', and I do experience a blood glucose spike from the protein content so will cover the omelette with some insulin, but everything I've listed above is low-carb and extremely filling.

I have a genuine fear of turning into an egg one of these days.....

Otherwise buy some macadamia nuts and brazilnuts nuts They are low carb and Then only half a banana is to most People enough when excercising . I dont Think it is Healthy
To have too High blood glucose while doing sports either

Can you give a little more information @TonyFowler ?

In particular, how are your blood test results on this diet?

Carbs will make you tired. Check out what Robbity says.

Thanks for your interest about 18 months ago I was feeling tired and very thirsty I went to the doctors had a blood test and was told I was pre Diabetice, so I have given up drinking cut out most sugar and do a lot of cycling and classes at the gym and have lost about 2 stone . I have been on Desmond course but doing all this excercis its knowing what to eat and when ? I think I might be having to much porridge etc my blood is about 5.5 to 6.5 but I am still tired after eating etc any food ideas would be great thanks

5.5 to 6.5 is brilliant, no issue at all with that.
