Vegetarian snacking

[Anonymous]

Do you find that you are more "snacky"? I am eating plant-based and feel excellent in terms of BMs and general energy, but I am so tempted to snack and more hungry.

Not really if I've had a satisfying meal. I snack on popcorn.

If my meals are pretty balanced (carbs, fat, protein, fiber) then I'm not prone to being hungry between meals. If I happen to have a meal that's a lot of carbs and less of the other things, though, I will be hungry sooner.

+1 I've been veg my whole life, so I don't know what I'd feel like if I ate meat. But I do find I get a lot more snacky if my meals are too small and don't have enough variety in them (like PP said, carbs, fat, protein, fiber). Whenever I start trying to restrict meals, in some attempt to lose a few pounds - or if I just am not eating big enough meals for whatever reason (traveling and no time to eat, or whatever) - I become RAVENOUS between meals.

Also hormonal fluctuations.

Sometimes. just get in the habit of snacking a lot, and then I get hungry on that schedule.

Maybe you are not eating enough? I think I was less hungry after changing to a plant based diet. The sheer volume of food I am eating fills me up. I eat three meals and a late afternoon snack.
