    Apples for me. But yes, it's really individual.

    Satiety is subjective. Most people report feeling more satiated after eating a lot of protein, but that may not be the case for everyone.

    Try increasing the volume of food while lowering the calories. Instead of eating, say, toast, save the calories for a bag of unbuttered popcorn or some vegetables. You can also just get more foods that are difficult to blow through. Pumpkin seeds that are still shelled (eat the shells; they're not like pistachios or sunflower seeds) take longer to eat than a handful of almonds, for example.
  • I discovered that an ounce of mixed nuts keep me going for hours without getting hungry or losing energy. I was carrying them with me as a snack but I often end up using them as lunch. They contain protein, fiber, and fat, and many types of nuts provide minerals and other nutrients that I'm sure I was missing before I started My fitness pal and was eating mostly junk.
