Healthy foods that KEEP YOU FULL:

When you're working out (I'm doing the 30 Day Shred & Zumba), it is important that you increase the foods that you eat to fulfill your new energy requirements! The more you workout, the more food you need to intake to support yourself.

I'm not talking about chips and hot pockets. Increasing UNhealthy foods will not only NOT help you, it will hurt you and cause you to have LESS energy!

Make sure you are packing in the amount of protein you intake. The foods that you eat should be foods that won't just go right through you, but will keep your tummy satisfied.

Healthy foods that KEEP YOU FULL:

Eggs- For just 70 calories, an egg delivers more than 6 grams of protein. That keeps you full, not to mention energized as well!

Avocados- *yay!!* They’re loaded with folate, potassium and vitamin E, and early research suggests that foods containing these nutrients may be more satiating than others.

Greek yogurt- Seventeen grams of protein in a 6-ounce container (that’s more than you get in four slices of turkey!) means major hunger control.

Oatmeal- All that filling fiber (4 grams per half-cup serving) helps breakfast stick to your ribs. It also provides a surprising 4 to 7 grams of protein! For extra staying power, toss in blueberries, which have 4 grams of fiber per cup.

Apples- Only 80 calories, but one can be as filling as a meal because of the 4 grams of fiber and high water content

Nuts- They have the perfect combination of fiber, protein and fat
