SOoooooooooooooo hungry...

[YankeeMomInVA]

I don't know what the deal is... but ever since yesterday I have this insanely insatiable appetite. I'm hungry ALL. DAY. LONG.
It is the worst in the evening, though... Literally 5 minutes after we finished dinner tonight I felt like I hadn't eaten a thing in hours!

Up until recently, my protein packed diet has done wonders to fill me up and keep me feeling good for at least a few hours.

We don't eat junk....and all I'm craving is protein. I just sent DH to the store to get me two more cans of black beans and some sour cream! I told him if he didn't go soon, I was going to start eating the upholstery.

What's the deal!??!?!

Baby must be having a growth spurt! I get like that sometimes.

ETA: I've been eating a lot of black bean and colby jack cheese burritos lately. They're so good! I think I'll go make a few right now.

me too! i'm hovering over a tub of cheese and crackers right now.

(and i just bought a pint of ben & jerry's to soothe me after a crazy day : )

glad I'm not the only one... holy cow!

DH gets major bonus points, though... on his way home he stopped and got me freshly made tacos from the mexican restaurant!!!

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! How would I go about making these awesomely delicious sounding concoctions? Is it just colby jack cheese and black beans wrapped in a tortilla? do tell!

Me too! Actually, I'm not hungry much during the day (too hot), but at night I am RAVENOUS! Last night I had two servings of tofu and veggies over couscous at dinner, then a huge glass of chocolate milk, then some almonds, and then a nectarine, and then some light ice cream. Seriously, its getting out of hand! I have to say, though, on the whole, the high protein Brewer diet has been great for me--I definitely stay full longer and it makes me think about what I'm eating before I eat it. Plus I feel much more high-energy at this stage than I did in my last pregnancy!

Oooooh...I need a recipe for those burritos too. Do you essentially just cook up some black beans and melt some cheese over them and then wrap it up in a burrito?!?!?!

That sounds excellent...and I'm following a pretty high protein "diet" as well.

And...I'm ravenous at times...typically in the early evening right before DH gets home. It seems a good snack can get me through. But the higher protein seems to help considerably.
