I can't stop snacking :(

    Hi all,

    I'm still sticking with the gym, and enjoying the weights and swimming. I'm still trying to reduce my 'fat content' haha - although I'm not overweight, I'm feel that i'm skinny-fat if you get my drift. It's the pudge over the muscle that I want to shift.

    Now I'd say I've a pretty okay diet - oats/apple juice for breakkie (yum), a salad or tuna sandwich on brown bread or wrap for lunch, normally an apple and banana as a snack during the day. Dinner is usually a huge heap of veg and fish, maybe a sauce, with wholegrain pasta - sometimes homemade spag bol etc.

    My problem is that when I get home from the gym, and get home from work, I'm hungry. I feast on a few biscuits, maybe a tesco creme caramel (yum), sometimes toast and/or tea - sometimes popcorn. I've kinda lost sight of the amount of food that I'm allowed have in one day - since I use the excuse that since I'm working out, I need the extra calories. But how do you loose weight then?

    Do I have to go to bed hungry? Help. :(

    Drink more water tends to help with hunger, if I'm munching I may have a piece of fruit and a pint or 2 of water, fills you up much better than a piece of fruit.

    You can re-focus yourself on what you should and shouldn't be doing/eating. You have the will power to stop snacking on bad foods you just need to exercise it.
    Drinking water is a good tip too.

    best advice i can think of is stop buying them! if they aren't avaialble to snack on then you can't snack on them ;)

    if you actually need extra calories... and a food / exercise assessment (to determine your energy requirements) will do that... getting them from biscuits and creme caramel's is not your best option :) substitute with more healthy options as the rest suggested...
