I have a question for you and others who likely have more experience than I do. I am not on WW, but have been going to the gym 3-4 times per week since October, and following an eating plan given to me by the nutrition person at the gym (I say nutrition person because she isn't a certified nutritionist).<br/><br/>I follow it to the letter usually, but not always. There are things on it that I do not like such as the protein bars they recommend. It also goes on a five day cycle of meals and then starts back at day 1. I get bored easily and love to cook so I am having a hard time with it. One of the biggest issues is not getting enough protein. I need ideas and advice! Help!!

My first thought was that you are munching because you truly are hungry from all the extra activity and not enough protein.<br/>But...that has been said a few times!<br/>When I first started WW in September I was running for 30 minutes and starving all the time. Protein incorporated in to snack time - at 10 am I eat two hard boiled eggs - I run at lunch, really helps. Protein really helped me feel more full.<br/><br/>Eggs for breakfast before a workout or after.<br/><br/>You are such an inspiration!

Eggs for breakfast before a workout or after.

You are such an inspiration!

I try to have at least 3 oz of protein at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hopefully that helps.<br/><br/>Also ~ how have you been sleeping. The last time you had the munchies like this you figured out is was because of your sleep patterns. I’m a little late to the party, but I totally agree with the person who suggested adding proteins.

What about a quick protein shake after strength training or for a quickie snack. I really like the EAS AdvantEdge Vanilla and Chocolate. . .they're good!

Sometimes I think all you can do is go for volume with few calories, looks like you are doing that. Don't stress! It's the WORST thing you can do.

I find lots of fiber and protein helps. And eating my activity points helps too! I definitely get hungrier when I’m working out a lot. I find lots of fiber and protein helps.

Why is it that I never have to be reminded to eat CARBS???? My trainer (the PE teacher at the school where I teach) :) reminds me that lean protien helps build muschle, loose fat and gives us ENERGY!!! All that without taking a PILL!!! AMAZING.

I LOVE your greenlitebites page! I used to always post recipes on xanga, when I had one, but I gave that up. <br/><br/>Anyway, I do the same thing... the other day I ate like 10 cookies and 2 brownies! NO JOKE! But yesterday on my lunch break I walked 2.5 miles and this morning when I "weighed in" I still lost 1.4 lbs! It must be all the liquids Im drinking. Right now Im big on crystal light fruit punch. YUM!!! When I drink it, its like a snack! But your doing great! <br/><br/>I am 24 yrs old and I lost 70 lbs in 2005-2006 before my wedding in May. I recently had my first baby boy, Austin, 4 1/2 months ago and Ive gained 50 lbs back! AGH! So Im up to 194.00 and that means I have lost 8 lbs so far. <br/><br/>Great job on your weight loss though!
