Why are you still hungry?

Fiber contains only 1.5 to 2.5 calories per gram, while other carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram. Fiber-rich foods also necessitate more chewing and slow the passage of food through the digestive tract. The fiber in carbohydrates helps prevent those peaks and valleys in blood sugar levels that can cause cravings and poor food choices. They also may stimulate a satiety hormone in the brain.

Chose smart foods to keep you powered throughout the day, and through your workouts. Eat a good breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a few snacks throughout the day.
