Fats, proteins and carbs

Why do I get hungry again so fast after some foods?

Because some foods are like a tiny teaser episode: it ends fast and you immediately want the next one πŸ˜„

Most common reasons:

  • Lots of fast carbs (sweets, pastries, sugary cereal, juice): blood sugar spikes, then drops β€” and your brain goes β€œfeed me!”
  • Not enough protein/fiber/healthy fats: without them, fullness doesn’t last.
  • Liquid calories (sweet drinks, smoothies without protein): calories are there, but satiety is weak.
  • Poor sleep/stress: hunger hormones get louder.

What to do (easy fix):

  • Build meals like LEGO: protein + fiber + a bit of fat. Example: Greek yogurt/cottage cheese + berries + nuts; or chicken/tofu + veggies + grains.
  • If you want something sweet, have it after a real meal, not instead of one.

How to use our app πŸ“±:

  • Log your food and check macros: if you get hungry fast after a snack, it’s often low in protein/fiber.
  • Try a mini goal: add +10–20 g protein to breakfast/snacks and see if cravings calm down.
  • Track when hunger hits againβ€”you’ll quickly spot your β€œtrigger foods.”

If you tell me which foods do this to you, I can suggest better swaps πŸ˜‰
