It depends on what you're eating. If you're eating a lot of stuff like rice, bread, pasta, cereal, oats, luna bars, fruit.. your blood sugar is going way up, then way back down. And that drop in blood sugar causes hunger cravings. Eating protein with those blood-sugar-spiking foods will help reduce the severity of the spike and minimize hunger after eating. Like gumbo. or beans & rice. Or spaghetti and meatballs. Or pork & roasted sweet potatoes. etc.
