There are many reasons for feeling hungry soon after eating. One of them is the food you have consumed. You may think you're full, but you're not. There are foods that actually leave you hungry, providing empty calories to the body that only fill you up without having energy and feeling full.
To avoid overdoing the day's calories from constantly consuming high-calorie but not enough nutritious and filling foods, see which foods actually leave you hungrier.
Energy bars
Energy bars or granola bars are a popular snack that promises to energize you. Plus, if you make them at home or buy he althy bars without added sugars and artificial ingredients, you'll expect them to fill you up without feeling guilty about eating something unhe althy. The truth is that such desserts contain huge amounts of sugar. Even if your bar doesn't contain added sugar, it's rich in oats, honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, and why not agave syrup or cane sugar. It sounds like a he althy choice, but these ingredients are still high in carbohydrates. When you add the cocoa, nuts, seeds in these bars you have to think about what a calorie bomb it is. This bomb goes off suddenly, sending blood sugar and insulin levels skyrocketing, which soon after drop just as sharply. You feel tired, sleepy, extremely hungry again.
Ready Breakfast Cereal
Breakfast cereals that dissolve in fresh or yogurt for breakfast are not rich enough in protein, fiber, fat to fill you up. They mainly contain carbohydrates and sugars that make you hungry soon after you have breakfast.
Alcohol
Alcohol is not food, but it has the same effect - it causes hunger, which predisposes you to reach for high-calorie foods. Snacks that go with alcohol are usually high in calories and add extra nutritional value to your daily intake.
Yogurt
If you only eat yogurt, it will fill you up for only a moment, and then you will be very hungry again. To protect yourself from this effect, add something nutritious to your yogurt - nuts, seeds, fruits.
Fruit for breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It should be abundant in proteins, fibers, fats, useful carbohydrates. If you eat only fruits for breakfast, they will not give you the necessary satiety for a long time. This will have you reaching for something high in calories before it's time for lunch.
