Not being so hungry for the rest of the evening and even into the next morning is pretty much a combination of having a meal rich in some good fats and that didn't send your blood sugar sky rocketing so you skipped over the inevitable crash. Both of those things basically keep you feeling satiated for a long time, so yeah, pretty normal.
Pretty much any day that I'm good about having a steak and salad or something for breakfast before 8am I won't be hungry again until mid-afternoon.
Awesome, I dig it. I'm going to stick with this fish and berries thing.
I love fish; Tilapia is my favourite. But I am telling you right now--eventually you WILL get burnt out. I had Tilapia for like.........10 meals in a row. I didn't want fish for weeks. xD
I don't think you know me very well. I'll go on salmon binges where it's all I'll eat for like a month. Actual true story.
Ugh. I only like raw salmon. Cooked salmon is gross to me.
I can eat a lot of things in a row too, but I guess you have a talent. xD
I love Salmon, but damn that trout is pricey.
For some reason, the swear filter is amusing me on no end with this quote. xDQuote:

Salmon is expensive but worth it. When I make my monthly budget the amount of money I set aside for food is absurdly larger than the amount of money I set aside for everything else.
If you're able to hit a Farmer's Market, you can get fresh fruits and veggies for a lot cheaper! I don't know how that works in Montana, though.
I don't even know what a farmers' market is.
Pretty much what it sounds like. Usually towns and cities have a weekly event where they invite local producers to come and sell their crops in an open market. You might have to check your local newspaper/city website to see if they have a calendar of local events. They're less common in smaller towns but you could probably find one reasonably nearby. They're usually wicked cheap compared to stores and a lot fresher since there's no real shipping or processing involved.Quote:

Not trying to argue, but I guess it just depends on what you consider expensive. I can get like, 3 pounds of apples here for 2.50, and that's not even farmers' market business.
Avocados are highway robbery, however.
Okay well here one single tomato is a buck so
Basically food is expensive
That is fairly expensive. Are you at a supermarket? I know that here there are more than one type of tomato, and some are like, 1.50, but others are maybe .75?
Again, if you're able to go to a farmers' market, you'll be able to get those much cheaper, as it cuts out the middle man. I guess it also depends on how much of the tomato you eat. Like, do you get one or two meals out of it? I know personally, I generally eat half or a whole tomato when I eat them.
Also, do you guys have Aldi up there? If you do, you should definitely go there. The produce isn't always as great, but it's diiiiiiiiiiiiiiirt cheap. Like, if I go to a regular supermarket, an avocado costs 1.75 or more. If I go to Aldi, it costs .30. The only down-side is that they aren't ripe, but if you throw them in a paper bag for a day or two, it will ripen up. A lot of Aldi produce is like that. You can also get other healthy food (brown rice, almond milk, meat) for much cheaper. So yeah, if you have an Aldi (we all call it Aldi's with an apostrophe S here) then I'd take a gander.
