Do you get grumpy when you are hungry, too?
Or, as some people say, hangry.
It’s a real thing… and I suffer from it as well. Sometimes your day is a bit too busy and you wait too long to eat.
I’ve recognized this in myself, though, and I have started being more mindful about my eating habits to keep the hunger at bay.
Here’s how:
1. Make sure you’re eating enough healthy fat and protein with each meal. This helps the breakdown of food release slower to keep you satisfied longer.
2. Make sure you’re eating a balanced meal, with lots of fruits and veggies.
3. Keep a packet of your favorite nuts in your desk and/or purse so that you have something healthy to munch on when you feel hunger coming on. These are great to use as a quick snack to hold you over to your next meal.
