What to eat when you are hangry

[Anonymous]

I am a teacher and my grade has the earliest lunch at 10am. I eat a little snack at school during planning around 1:00 but I am starving by the time I get home at 3:30-4:00. I end up eating junky crap. What do you eat when you are hangry that isn't junk but is filling enough until dinner at 5:30 ish?

Apple or banana slices with peanut butter.

Protein. Cottage cheese or Greek Yogurt with fruits or vegetables, or both. My go to right now is Vanilla Greek Yogurt with a spoonful of peanut butter and some berries.

Or an apple with cheese, but I find the yogurt stays with me longer. Cheese and crackers maybe.

Hangry? And you are a teacher? Guessing not a spelling teacher, or else are trolling.

Sounds like you have eater's remorse over the junk food, so quit buying it and you won't be tempted.

Smoothie with protein powder, spinach, and berries

Hangry is in the dictionary, but even if it wasn't, it's still a common term. She didn't make a spelling error.

OP here. Thanks for the suggestions! They recently changed our lunch period to the earliest one so this is new. I used to eat at a normal time. And hangry is a term everyone knows.

I nanny after school and the snacks are at the kids’ house. I’ll have to start bringing my own snacks so I don’t default to the junk.

Currently, I mix 3-4 tbsp of homemade nut-powder in a big bowlful of organic A2 keffir, add washed and chopped blueberries and strawberries in it, sprinkle some hempseeds on it, garnish with raisins and dates, and a big scoopful of chia-strawberry jam. It is delicious. Does not spike my blood sugar. Give me tons of protein, probiotics and minerals. Very filling and keeps me sustained for long. And it satisfies my sweet tooth too.

Home made nut powder -
Roast and grind very coarsely - almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachio, flaxseed, chia seed, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seed, melon seed, lotus seed and gum arabic. Store in a mason jar. Use in 7 days.

Chia-strawberry Jam -
Heat strawberries (or any fruit) in a pan until it cooks and becomes mushy. Add some chia seeds, a sqeeze of lemon juice. I don't add any sweetener, but you can. Stays in fridge for a week.

Never heard of it. Not in my dictionary. But Hungary the country is there.

You sounds like an idiot. She used common slang. You are using emojis like a fool.

OP, chug some water and white knuckle the craving for junk. You can make it to 5:30 without a snack, you are just conditioned to the idea of an ‘after school snack.’ Most of us work until 5 and then do dinner, we don’t all take a snack break at 3:30, even with an early lunch.
