I've tried to eat healthily during the day (breakfast - toast, yoghurt; am - snack on grapes; lunch - sarnie, apple, plum; mid-pm - cereal bar) but this never seems to fill me up (need crisps!) and I am constantly looking to snack (only had one choc biscuit though all week). Any suggestions on fill up food?

I did have them with my sarnie at lunch time but cut them out. Usually ate them first about 12-ish then had my sarnie later about 1.30-2-ish. They're oven chips too so is that even better??!?
How about an egg on your toast in the monring, a handful of nuts and raisins with your grapes mid-morning, and maybe the aforementioned malt loaf instead of your cereal bar (they're not all that nutritious generally). If you can do a baked potato with a reasonably healthy filling for lunch, that might help too.
Depends how many miles you are running, but you sound like you aren't eating enough anyway, so that'll be why you feel like snacking so often.
For dinner/tea I usually eat pasta with meat and/or veg with sauce/pesto or curry or quiche and salad - main problem there is with the pasta I eat a large portion as my other half has a big appetite and I usually just half what's there. Big downfall is also eating out which I LOVE!
Can only find the Soreen malt loaf which I have tried but it's kinda sticky - have seen other products for Soreen advertised on R4L site but can't find them anywhere!
In fact, I think I'd eat anything that had Soreen printed on the wrapper (do they make chips?)
How much are you drinking as you might be thirsty rather than hungry. I think it's at least 1.5 litres water/day without any exercise.
I'm trying to eat healthier and it has made a difference keeping a jug of water on my desk to have during the day.
Rascal.

Thanks 3TL for the website - I'll have a look later.
Get thee to the tap/water dispenser this instant!
I drink around 3ltrs of water a day, only about 3 cups of tea, and absolutely no fizzy drinks!

BANANAS BANANAS BANANAS you can't beat em!
Try food combining or the slimming world system. Either eat plenty of carbs and limit the protein (green days) or limit the carbs and eat loads of protein (red days).
Green days eat as much as u like - baked spuds, beans, pasta etc with v.small portions meat/cheese - very filling.
Veg meals/snacks are also good fillers - veg chilli or dahl (lentil curry) with naan bread mmmmmm I'm starving what's 4 T?.

I dont see how green days work? If i was to eat as much carbs as i liked on some days i could see me putting on loads of weight, how does that work?
I could read / fantasise / dream about food all day and never get bored... hmmmm!
I'm with the water lobby too...
where's that loo...
