You mean you need an appetizer- something to stimulate your appetite for the seven courses to come. I think you sort of know the answer already without having to read Larousse Gastronomique. You want something that's going to spike your insulin. Hey, betcha can't eat just one potato chip!
OK, I get it, you don't mess the diet the trainer gave you. There's a couple things you can do, though. Spike your PWO drink with some extra dextrose: you'll be hungrier when it's time to eat again. PWO is a good time to for 6-10 g fish oil, which also increases insulin sensitivity: help you shuttle increased nutrients. Certain whole foods can do this without turning you into a fatty. Results can be highly individual, the doc needs to run tests but a couple of safe bets:Milk does a body good, and you'll be able to pound down more food with a high protein+high carbohydrate combination. (post workout, right? )
One thing- You've just started this diet and already you're experiencing problems with it. The common freshman mistake for most of us. It takes a lot of discipline to change the way you eat. You don't need a lecture from me, but a little positive reinforcement can be helpful. I think this strips away alot of inessential thinking and provides an easily remembered mental checklist of things you need to be consistent with:
