as we all know some of the add meds. take away your appetite totally...what are your fav. little snacks to eat while on your meds?

i always eat a huge breakfast and take my vyvanse at the same time...but come time for lunch i have no desire to eat! but i find having a small little snack until dinner keeps my stomach content...here are my favs that i find are easy to make and finish up eating while on meds:

-chocolate protein shake (just mix one scoop and a glass of milk)
-Austin peanut butter crackers
-grilled cheese sandwich
-Campbells Chunky (Sirloin Burger is my fav)
-Chef Boyardee Overstuff Ravioli
-peanut butter and jelly
-a mini bagel w cream cheese
-nature valley oat bars

whats do you find yourself eating between breakfast and dinner ?

I drink a lot of regular coca cola. I think it's how I maintain my weight. Other than that I keep a few boxes of Nature Valley granola bars handy for when I feel kinda hungry but don't feel like preparing a meal or don't feel like eating a whole meal.

I have no desire for snacks or even eating when I'm taking medication. I'll have to make a note to myself on keeping healthy snacks around.

I keep yogurt and Zone nutrition bars in my office. I've read several places that protein intake is important when on stimulants. Zone bars have a lot more protein than the standard granola bar.

I also keep an apple in my bag. It cures the munchies and also helps with hydration -- something else that's important with stimulants.

I love Chewy granola bars (Oatmeal Raisin or Chocolate Chip only!!) and I eat a lot of bananas (but I have to be careful of timing because they have vitamin C in it.)

It seems like a lot of us eat granola bars. I think I picked the unhealthiest brand. :P

When I am at home -- Crackers (Fat Free Saltines) and Diet Soda. Vyvanase & Adderall kill your appetite and probably speed up your metabolism. I get flamed badly on other boards when I suggest Adderall as a way to lose weight quickly.

For me, maintaining weight is the biggest problem. If I skip meals and don't eat enough I will lose like 5LBS in a week. I struggle to stay in the 140's even though I wish I could put on another 15LBS.

Most of these are my favorites! I don't do the protein shake, but the rest are spot on. I could eat grilled cheese until it was coming out of my ears!

I need to lose weight, and I have lost 6 pounds since on Adderall. It's due to lack of appetite and more motivation to exercise, as well as cutting way down on alcohol. I'm also making an effort to eat a salad every day for lunch at work, just to avoid the pizza joint down the block. I still look to carbs, though, and I find them soothing. I'm finding it a bit easier to portion control now too. I don't know if that is because I am less hungry or more aware of what I am eating.

I hate to side with the flamers, but it's not a great idea to encourage people to take the medication as a weight loss tool .. the drugs are addictive enough as it is. I guess I just have bad experience with friends stealing my meds so they can study or kill their appetite and whatnot.

Very annoying.

I don't remember... LOL:D I'll let you know when I remember - tomorrow morning??? yeah, right:rolleyes::D

Seriously... probably chocolate, but it varies... also depends on what commercials I see on tv... Oh, wait... yes.. I remember... Blizzards (from Dairy Queen) - or Reese's peanut butter cups (after being in the freezer and/or in a "DQ blizzard").
