@cy what did it personally do for you?
Fruits are quite high in sugar (the good kinds though so no stress) but they are fast release carbs which this means the energy in them is broken down pretty quickly and therefore doesn’t leave you feeling full for a long time. Slow release carbs like oats, sweet potatoes, brown rice etc can help. I don’t do shakes etc as don’t leave me feeling satisfied, I also think mentally they don’t feel like you’ve had a good meal as it’s a drink but that’s just me! For snacks I like Greek yoghurt with nuts and fruits (can add a scoop of protein powder if you struggle to get much in elsewhere), apple slices and peanut butter, avocado/eggs on rice cakes or some sort of cracker. Snack bowl of nuts, raisins and I like to add some dark chocolate if I feel like I need a sweet treat without wanting as much of a sugar crash. Not a dietician or anything just what works for me!
I actually had the opposite problem. I couldn’t hold anything down so I was drinking Ensure high protein shakes to make sure that I was getting something.
i used to drink only boosts the chocolate kind when i was pregnant
