Going to the Gym... over 40s

Curly Wurly, full of holes, low in calories and full on taste to kill the craving.

One isn't enough though

That's the ones.. Perfect post workout treat with a shake just remember its the small 10p bags not the big £1 ones ?

Out of interest what's the longest you usually go without a sweet of some sort

During one of the PT sessions, my PT mentioned that mid-meal hunger cravings are more about hydration rather than hunger. So asked me to drink water rather than snack. Ran thru nearly 1.5 litres in the office.. Spent more time in the loo rather than gym.

Dont know if the theory is right or not, but hydration cant be that bad either

It's usually after I've eaten a meal that I need something sweet but after the evening meal is the worst. It's like the off switch isn't working quite often.

All this protein worries me. I am a desk warrior and putting all this protein thru must have an impact on kidneys or some other organs, if I dont exercies to burn them off..

Dehydration is often misinterpreted as hunger, it can also be cause of lethargy to. Your PT was on the money with his suggestion to drink more.

in that situation I find that a bowl of suaar free jelly takes the edge off

Its not because you crave the sweetness its because you have a habit of doing it. You need find a different post meal habit or as hovis just said sugar free jelly

you really have to clatter the protein for it to effect kidneys. almost impossible for the average person to over do protein

Exactly what Hovis says below is on the money. Unless you have some pre existing kidney condition diagnosed that doesn't allow adequate breakdown of protein it will be nigh on impossible for you to have any problems.. May get a bit the old protein fart now and again though ?

HID got some berry flavoured Protein Yogurt as a post dinner snack. I cant say it was the best yogurt i have had, but it was not bad either..

Thanks will give that a try.
