Following on from the 400+ threads we have at the moment about how can I lose weight whilst maintaining my current lifestyle I had a few questions.
What low fat snacks and meals are easy to prepare? I'm currently trying to put on Muscle and obviously need more Protein but not much fat. I do a bit of cardio i.e 25 mins 3 times a week and then swim a mile on top of that.
I know the general rule of eat less exercise more, the exercise more isnt a problem but the eat less is because I get so hungry! After a mile swim I eat so much! Healthy things ish like chicken, pasta or sandwichs but I have to eat alot to satisfy the hunger pains.
Just wondering if anyone has found any super filling but low fat foods, contemplating Bananas as snacks in work even though I hate the taste I'm sure I can just force them down.
Finally being a Metamorph body type I find it hard to build Muscle so currently am using Creatine tablets and Maxi-Muscle Pro Max after workouts and first thing in the morning, last thing at night but if I am having all that protein do I need to focus my meals round chicken and Tuna etc?
Sorry lots of questions but I have noticed a few people on here have a very good understanding of dietary requirements.

Similar thing here, but I have found that the occasional few almonds is good for me, although they are high in fat is is the "good fat". Given that too many is bad.
You could switch your protein type to Whey protein in the morning/after work and go for a milk type protein shake (I believe they are more filling and are longer are released) or protein bars. I found the Phd Flapjacks very good. Nice and high in protein and low in fat. Not badly priced either, way better value and taste than the ProMax Bars. Got them from thesupplementstore.co.uk
OT I know but Promax is really expenisve and not all that good. I have switched to myProtein and make up my own formula, with Isolate, concentrate, L-Glutamine, BCCA and Creatine with I want. I'm saving loads

I know it's popular in current thinking to up your protein for muscle growth but it's probably unnecessary - packed with calories too. Up your fibrous veg - filling and pretty low in kcals.
I agree - plenty of brocoli and cauliflower is really filling add to that a couple of glasses of water too!Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
