[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1312130, member: 265172"] If I'm eating carbs, I find I burn them off and become hungry much more quickly than when I'm not eating many carbs. For instance, a bowl of porridge would fill me up for an hour, but I would be absolutely ravenous by 10am if I've had porridge at 7am (so I don't have that any more). A protein breakfast with no carbs at all leaves me feeling very much more satisfied - and if I do get hungry between breakfast and lunch, I'll have a hardboiled egg or a mini Babybel cheese. If I'm really really hungry (not often - and when I am it's normally admittedly emotion-driven rather than food-driven) I will dive into the nearest avocado with a spoon and eat the lot - or dive into a tub of pate with a spoon. Or the peanut butter jar (watch the brand, though - they seem to range from 7g CHO per 100g to anything up to the high teens, so if you go too mad with the peanut butter you might get a spike). So, for me: Ordinary between-meal hunger (not every day): hardboiled egg or cheese Full-on emotion-driven 'I've got to eat the house' hunger: something really fatty like avocado or pate Bon appetit! My everyday eating style doesn't involve much carbohydrate at all, [USER=341194]@Terryrhino[/USER] , and I avoid starchy carbohydrate (bread, rice, potatoes and the rest) entirely, and it occurs to me that for some, carb consumption can drive carb consumption. :) [/QUOTE]
