Always starving before my period - help me with good filling snack choices

I am constantly ravenous and often end up eating shite. I need to find out what I can snack on that will make me feel full. So far the only food that does this is tinned sardines. I know I should choose nuts but it is only healthy to eat small portions of these. Crudites are ok but I don't like raw carrot.

To make it worse I work in the community some days so need food I can eat on the go and on public transport.

Help!! I could eat a scabby old horse today

No real advice but I get the exact same! I’ve just ate 3 cookies and cream Kit Kat’s and some toast. Always happens right before my period, I just want all the food

Toast 😋 I love toast!! Oh gosh - this is not good. For tea I had a jacket potato with cheese n coleslaw and a boiled egg and a salad with avocado and olives and a random left over fish finger n a bit of left over chicken. Still starving Blush

God, this is me today. I'm lying in bed and my stomach is even rumbling now.

I had a pack of quavers at work to take the edge off. 86 cals, bargain.

Your dinner sounds lovely.. Grin

Thankfully we can predict periods, so I always stock the freezer and fridge with some healthy snacks just before that time of the month.

The frittatas look lovely. And I love a good lentil soup too. I might make one on the slow cooker this weekend

I ate 3 packs of fizzy cola bottles last night. I was searching the house for all of the things with fat and sugar. 8 DAYS EARLY I came on today 🙄
