Eating high-sugar foods
We need to back up a little to address this issue. First, if your meals are low in protein, there is a good chance that you will later crave sugar. What your body really wants is energy, and giving it protein then would be a good idea. But, your brain tricks you into wanting sugar, for a rapid increase in energy. However, if you give into that and do eat, say, that sugary muffin instead of some cheese and nuts, the hunger signals can just keep coming all day, causing you to snack and snack.
