What to eat when you are hangry

Overnight oats!

The best part is you can a bunch ahead of time so it’s ready as soon as you get home. It’s so filling and delicious.

I highly recommend oatmeal, but I haven't been able to embrace the trend to eat cold oats. It's quick and easy to microwave even old-fashioned oats. If I know I'm going to be pressed for time on a morning, I'll prep the serving the night before with walnuts and raisins but add the liquid in the morning to cook.

Are there any beef sticks or jerky that are healthy?

I love jerky, but even the healthiest ones are not that great if you eat it everyday.

The trick (for me) is to make it more of a drink. Now I love my cold oat drink, and get 20 grams of protein. It's not just for breakfast. It would be perfect for OP late in the afternoon or even on her drive home.

Protein at 1pm. Think of it more as a "mini lunch" than a snack. But base it around protein.

It sounds silly, but I have been so much more mindful of my protein lately (while also giving up deli meats for good) and it DOES in fact keep you full longer.

Siggi's yogurt is good and pair it with some nuts. Or tuna salad.

I love the idea of these, but the processed meat is not good for you.

I'll do a Greek yogurt with some fruit chucked in it, usually blueberries.

I make my own, boil a relatively cheap cut for 2 hours, shred, add herbs and toast in oven until crispy.

I am in a similar situation as you because of work schedule (cant really eat after 10.30 and then dinner is at 5.30 or 6pm).

And i pack a protein snack box : hard boiled eggs are my go to main protein. With salt and pepper they are very filling and they dont spoil. Alternative proteins that are finger foods: stick cheese or cut cheddar/hard cheese; almonds and cashews; beef jerky (but i try to limit that because processed meat); a cup of cottage cheese (i like to eat it savory with salt and pepper).

And then i add veggies and fruits as stomach fillers (more veggies than fruits to avoid sugar rush): carrots, snap peas, cut apples, berries, steamed but still crunchy broccoli etc..

Basically a home made and more filling version of the protein boxes you can find at starbuck or in airplanes

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?

Apples.

Thanks. I’ve tried them and can’t stand the consistency.

Thanks. I will have to try this. I’m avoided food that needs refrigeration because our faculty lounge fridge doesn’t work. Maybe I’ll look online for a cheap mini fridge and hide it in my classroom (they aren’t allowed).

I make a ranch dip out of greek yogurt and ranch powder. i eat it with veggies and a piece of lavash bread. (kind of make a little roll up). It satisfies the craving for something savory and salty, and the protein and carbs make me feel totally satiated.

If I am craving sweet, I will do apple slices with peanut butter, honey and chia seeds.

I am also a teacher with an early lunch. My biggest people of the day is breakfast- I eat probably around 700 calories at breakfast with 35-40 grams of protein. Rather than considering my 10:40am meal a "lunch", I think of it as a snack and then I have another "snack" at 3:30pm. It really helps with the hanger attack before dinner!

When do you eat breakfast? I have to leave my house by 6:30 and I hate getting up early. Maybe I’ll try it for the last few weeks of school though. What do you eat for breakfast?

The ones you make yourself. Get a dehydrator.
