Just starting here on the site, and it seems like planning is my biggest issue. Would anyone have any food list of healty low impact but filling snacks and meal ideas?

Lean proteins and vegetables are generally a safe option for both meeting calorie deficit goals and providing satiety.

Snacks-
hummus and veggies
nuts
fruit
greek yogurt
string cheese
healthier granola bars
oatmeal

Meals
fish
chicken
veggies(roasted are wonderful!)
salad (just a little dressing)
brown rice
quinoa
homemade soups/stews (broth based not creamy)
tacos(use turkey burger or go vegetarian with refried beans) use lots of lettuce, tomatoes, beans, onion. Use avocado and salsa for "moisture", not sour cream. Try whole grain tortillas.
butternut squash
sweet potatoes
fajitas

I will try to make at least 3-4 meals for the week over the weekend. Then I just need to pop them in the oven or throw it in the crockpot. I will also make up sandwich/wrap filling or soups to bring for lunches. I always have everything around to make fajitas (quick and easy!), tacos, and a pasta/pesto dish. These are my "emergency" meals when time is tight. For the pasta/pesto dish, I cook whole wheat penne pasta. While that's cooking, I saute onion and garlic in olive oil. I then add diced tomatoes and white beans. Cook for a couple minutes. Drain the pasta and add to veggies. Add pesto and chopped spinach. Supper is done! And it is SO good! I use no salt added canned tomatoes, frozen spinach and canned beans. Also premade pesto.
I make up my menus for the next week on Wed/Thurs, shop on Friday or Saturday based on those menus, then do whatever pre-cooking I'm going to do on Saturday or Sunday. This has worked very well for me!

For lunch I usually have two pieces of chicken (not that big but enough) with vegetables (broccoli, green, sweetcorn etc.) and roast potatoes.

Snacks: I started incorporating fruit in my diet, it's worked really well as a snack between meals to make sure I'm not undereating.
