My two favorite snack foods are almost any kind of fresh fruit and crackers with cheese.

i avoid those lol. crackers make me fat and fruit is loaded with sugars. i go for some oatmeal, adding a little pb to it when its done, salads (the only fruit i touch is a tomato), beans and nuts have the necessary fats we need plus they release small amounts of sugars to keep your sugar level even for hours so you won't go hungry. if you crave sweets - you are not getting enough protein. eat a lot of protein in order to ward off the cravings. remember that you will need more calories when you are bf since bf takes 500 calories from you daily. it's normal for you to be this hungry so remember that when you are feeling down. i got depressed over it in the first two weeks but now i know how to balance my meals to get what i need. i hope this helps!!

I read that bananas will stabilize your blood sugar level and keep you from craving sweets.
