Protein Bars and Shakes Might Be Making You Hungrier

from A Cup of Dri: Fitness Thoughts from My Car to Yours · host Adriana Mastronardi

In this episode, I talk about something I see all the time with clients in a fat loss phase: relying too heavily on protein bars and shakes. While they’re convenient, they digest quickly and often leave you feeling hungrier sooner than whole food protein sources like chicken, steak, fish, or yogurt. I explain why whole foods tend to keep you fuller longer and share simple, practical alternatives you can use when you’re on the go. If you’re constantly hungry while dieting, this small shift in how you get your protein can make a big difference.
