Menu Plan Monday: Definitely Not Going Hungry! Posted: 19 Feb 2012 07:00 PM PST Thank you for subscribing to Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy; click here for your free copy of Sizzlin' Soups! This month in “Eating Intentionally”, we’re focusing on “honoring our hunger”. We are learning to listen to our body’s cues, and eat at the first sign of hunger. Since I just finished my monthly grocery shopping trip, there’s no chance of anybody around here going hungry! The fridge, freezer, cupboards and pantry are bursting at the seams! When focusing on eating when you’re hungry, there may be situations where you feel hungry all the time. That’s OK. You still need to eat when you’re hungry. I can think of at least 3 instances where you may need to eat more than usual: On a special diet (not a weight-loss diet). I know when I eliminated dairy from my diet, I was starving all the time. Normally, I consume a decent amount of cheese, yogurt and milk, and when I couldn’t have those, I was just so hungry. Pregnancy. After all, you are eating for two! OK, so one of the two is pretty tiny, but still. You’re responsible for nourishing two lives; it stands to reason you’re going to be hungry more than usual. Breastfeeding. Same reason! Especially when you’re exclusively breastfeeding, some times it seems like your calories go in and out like a revolving door. I’m sure there are other occasions when you might feel constantly hungry,  but these three are a sure thing. So if one of these situations is the case with you, don’t sweat it if you feel like you’re constantly eating. As long as you’re making mostly healthy choices, it’s a good idea to continue listening to your hunger cues. Breakfasts Buckwheat Pancake Heart Sandwiches 1-2-3 Granola!
