Snack Ideas | Stomach Fillers To Keep You Energised & Less HANGRY When That Time Comes
It’s our daily practise to have snacks between our meals. In that way, we ensure that we are always energised, happier and less hangry when the main meal time comes.
HANGRY = angry when hungry.
Science has revealed when our blood glucose levels fall too low, our body releases more adrenaline, and that helps generating aggressive feelings. If you want to be perceived as a calmer human being and/or take decisions when in peace, try not to skip your main meals & snacks.
We tend to have
⭐️3 main meals; breakfast @ 8:00, lunch @ 13:00 & dinner @ 19:00
⭐️and various snack breaks in between; @ 11:00, @ 15:00, @ 17:00
⭐️ if still hungry around 21:00, will have a selection of fruits
Some snacks that I am usually having in my snacking breaks can be seen in this email and along those their relative portion size. I tend to have
⭐️ a small piece of dark chocolate 🍫 prior having a long meeting at work or prior delving into solving a challenging item at work and usually before 17:00 as cocoa takes my sleep away, if eaten too late
⭐️ a fruit 🍎 or a small handful of dried fruits
⭐️ a homemade protein ball – I make a batch or two at the beginning of every week so we always have some in the fridge; i mix what we have at home – this week’s was one of the best combinations/experimentations. Check for the different versions of the recipe here.
⭐️ some light Philadelphia on a Ryvita with a droplet of mountain or acacia honey 🍯 or some sugar free jam
⭐️ 4 – 5 walnuts or a small handful of other nuts 🥜
⭐️ an egg 🥚 or two – I always bake a dozen at the beginning of the week so I always have some eggs ready to eat on their own or combine them with something else to make another meal
