If you have been following our blood sugar week on Instagram, you might have noticed that my #1 advice when it comes to fighting sugar cravings is creating a well balanced meal! Protein and fat are the most satiating macronutrients, and oftentimes people turn to sugar simply because they’re hungry or it’s readily available.

Protein and fat are the best ways to curb hunger in general, and if you’re full, you are less likely to crave sugar as often. Oftentimes, my clients find that when I tell them to eat more protein and fat during the day (especially at breakfast), they don’t struggle with sugar cravings at night.

Starting your day off with a high-carb meal or a meal that is too low in calories can lead to wanting a big meal at night, late-night sugar cravings, or creating irregular meal patterns.
