Fat and fibre may also help keep you feeling full longer.

Is your calorie goal too low? If you're trying to create too much of a deficit you might be ridiculously hungry... Otherwise, dieting will cause you to feel hungry at some point. Why is that a bad thing? I think feeling satisfied all the time is a fairly modern notion..

I agree with fat and fiber, especially fiber. High fiber helps me more than high protein, but that may just be because I like foods that contain fiber.

A sandwich wrap is a good low calorie filling meal. Take some leafy stuff, some type of meat, whatever other veggies or cheese you'd like, dress it with a vinaigrette/mustard/hot sauce/etc. (something not too caloric) and wrap up in a high fiber wrap. I can make one for about 300-350 calories that provides a decent amount of protein and fiber and keeps me full for hours.

I found out that if I have a small portion of healthy fat in my food, it is more filling. Of course, I have to weigh solids , measure liquids and log at MFP.
some of my preferred fats: Avocado, olives, cheese, eggs, bacon, nuts, nuts butter, Olive oil.
Everything in moderation

Yeah, balancing fiber, fat, and protein helps me. So I shoot for 20-25 grams of fiber a day, with some at every meal. You could add to your regular meals:
- 1/2 cup of peas (4.5 grams fiber, 4.5 grams protein) or lentils (8 grams fiber, 9 grams protein), or beans, as a side, or to a salad or soup
- 1 cup raspberries - 8 grams fiber and only 37 cals
- 1/2 a medium avocado - 7 grams fiber , ~170 cals. 15 grams fat here, but fat also helps fill you up

Try edamame seed pods for a snack. Drink a full glass of water with your meal. Lettuce greens are filling in their own way, especially with a vinaigrette dressing (measure the dressing).

For protein
- grilled steak or fish - make just enough for one day
- hamburgers (or meatballs, or meatloaf) - can last for a few days; make enough for 2-3 meals. cut a leftover hamburger into pieces, throw on some tomato sauce and eat with 1/2 cup rice. or no tomato sauce and have with peas or beans
- roasted chicken or beef - also can last a few days, as above
- chili
