Right. I have been having issues with food this week. And I'm just making my shopping list. What things should I definitely get while I'm out?
People have suggested peanut butter as a source of protein.
Raspberries instead of strawberries to keep me fuller longer.
Is there something you make sure you get EVERY week?

Low fat yoghurts. OK, so I live in Thailand and can only dream of having something as lovely as an Asda to shop in! But, low fat yoghurts save me, when i NEED to snack, it's one of those I have, rather than anything worse!
Also, just try to completely avoid the crisps/choccie/biscuit aisles entirely, makes the job a **** of a lot less torturous!
When you get home, post and tell us what you bought, and remember that if you're tempted to go off your list and get the 'bad' stuff

I think full fat yogurts will actually keep you fuller longer since it'll digest slower- the best yogurt by far is greek yogurt- much better than that fruit filled yogurt- for me it gives me cravings cuz it's full of sugar

beerab I agree entirely about normal fat yoghurt if you're wanting something filling.
Unfortunately, I go with the low fat ones 'cos I eat them when I'm not actually hungry, but my body is telling me it 'needs' to snack n I've decided to give in! I love real natural Greek yoghurt, and can't wait to get my hands on some when back in the UK.
