So I've just started my first "real" job after graduating from college. Unfortunately this also coincides with an accident I had a few weeks ago which resulted in some major road rash, quite a bit on my face. Luckily none of it was deep enough to cause much of a concern, but a family friend who is a plastic surgeon has advised me to keep out of the sun of up to a year if I want to make sure I don't get any weird pigmentation.
In the meantime I have been sitting around in the office doing work and eating just as I had been before, I found that whatever I eat goes in and out of my body really fast and leaves my stomach growling within an hour and a half to two hours. I find that when I don't use much energy on a daily basis I go to the bathroom really soon after every meal, like within 2 hours. This is really annoying and has always happened to me if I don't exercise. It has been the same for me as long as I can remember. I am 5'10 around 120-126 lbs, though I only stand on the scale out of curiosity if one is near (so maybe once a year). Basically I have been around the same weight since I stopped growing taller.
I can only assume that this is because I really don't need much nutrition sitting around all day and I am just used to eating a lot to keep my energy up. No, I don't have any weird disease or worm!
So to finally get to my question, does anyone have a recommendation for some snacks that sit in your stomach for longer? In the past when I have had this problem I just ate some steel cut oats which worked out just fine, but its not too convenient to cook things at work. A buddy recommended eating some grainy bread (low gi) so I brought a loaf of la brea whole grain bread to work, ended up eating the whole loaf!
