    For snacks: apples, apples and more apples. I eat them with the individually wrapped cheese sticks (for portion control), with peanut butter, on their own or with oatmeal. But not cooked in the oatmeal but raw on the side. Theres something very satisfying about the crunch of a crisp apple. I also eat a lot of eggs. Poached nearly every day for breakfast and have hard boiled eggs on hand in fridge to eat after workouts or throw on salads.

    For me, when I get hungry I make sure to eat a full serving (at 500-600 calories) of lasagna or steak and potatoes and I'm good to go. I make sure not to rely on a salad for a meal on days when my body craves dense calories. Eat more dense calorie rich foods to stay full and satisfied. Eventually the cravings will pass...

    Protein ands high fiber veggies and fruits. Also, nuts and seeds.

    Pretty much, and also beans and lentils and potatoes.

    But more important is not worrying about feeling "full." Focusing on not feeling hungry is sufficient. I think many have messed up ideas of what full is.

    I've found this to be a good 1,2 punch tackling high protein, sufficient fiber:

    (Or any combination of fiber that mixes well with zero fat greek yogurt...Fage is just notoriously the thickest brand out there)

    Regardless of what I eat I always find if I drink a whole pint of cold water before and another one after I've eaten, even if it's just a snack I feel full.

    Meat and veg for me. I'll have something like steak, sweet potato and lots of salad. I always try and bulk my meals out with some low calorie salad or veggies so I feel like I have a big plate full of food.

    There is no food on the gods' green earth that makes me feel satisfied. This is because for me, appetite is entirely mental. What does make me feel satisfied is getting so thoroughly engrossed in something that my brain forgets about suggesting food :)

    (If I'm actually physically in need of food, this tends to manifest in being too tired and indecisive to get any. Helpful, thanks, body)

    I love the Fage 0 and eat close to 2 cups per day.



    However I don't eat until I'm full, pretty much ever. I eat until I'm no longer hungry. Big, big difference to me.

    Complex, fiber rich carbohydrates...beans, lentils, oats, potatoes and sweet potatoes and other tubers, etc.

    I also don't eat until "full"...I hate that feeling. I eat so that I'm just not hungry.

    what can you suggest, since I obviously crave carbs such as pasta rice, bread etc.. I am pretty rural and went a " health food store" and a 2 cup of bone broth was about 9 bucks, I love beans, rice all that, but I have come to the end, eh, Some things ren't feasible for me as a freking carb lover, A loaf of whatchama cqall it is like 4 bucks, someone on a budget can't afford it

    Beans/lentils, brown rice, whole grains, potatoes.

    Get enough protein too, and vegetables -- what's the issue?

    Bone broth is just stock, you can make your own and it will be cheap.
