Tip one: Eat up (the right foods)
As busy moms, it’s easy to let time slip by between meals and then feel HUNGRY and overeat. While it may seem counterintuitive, EATING more (of the right foods) can actually prevent you from getting over-hungry and then overeating.
But the key is eating the RIGHT things. A high protein diet with lots of fiber (think: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, etc.) can help keep you satisfied between meals. Highly processed foods (think: chips, crackers, muffins, etc.) will not fill you up for long at all -even if they are high in calories.
Wondering how to increase protein intake?
High protein foods include meats, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, and vegetarian options like lentils or soy beans. For simple protein options, I love using rotisserie chicken, protein shakes, cottage cheese cups, and lunch meat.
