1| white potatoes Curse carbs all you want, but fiber-packed potatoes kept participants in the Australian study full 2 hours after eating. Potatoes are one of the most filling foods, and keep you sated three times longer than the average food. But beware: Researchers were surprised to find that fatty fried potatoes like chips and French fries weren't as satisfying and didn't fare as well.

2| eggs This healthy food option has been called the "perfect protein," and a new study confirms protein's role in satiety. Researchers at the University of Washington found that people who eat a 30 percent protein diet ate 441 calories less each day than those on a 15 percent protein diet.

3| hot oatmeal It's the most satisfying breakfast cereal around, providing more protein per serving than any other grain as well as a good dose of fiber. "Add some low-fat dairy like yogurt or skim milk and you should stay full all morning," says Elisa Zied, R.D., author of So What Can I Eat? and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.

4| beans Their high fiber content is key. According to Ida Laquatra, Ph.D., R.D., director of global nutrition for Heinz, "research shows that high-fiber foods are processed slower and last longer in the stomach, resulting in a feeling of fullness long after they have been eaten."

5| fish Your last piece of yellowtail sashimi may send you calling for pizza an hour after you finish, but cooked whitefish is proven to keep you full. For best results, steam or grill a thick whitefish, such as cod, bass, or halibut.

6| soup Research from Pennsylvania State University found that dieters who ate soup two times per day were more successful in losing weight and maintained, on average, a total weight loss of 16 pounds after 1 year. Chunky, broth-based soups, such as chicken and vegetable, are most filling.

7| apples An apple a day can keep you healthy?and full. High water content may be the reason. "Foods that contain water have more bulk and a lower energy density — meaning you get more food for less calories," Zied says. And do we even need to mention the fiber?

8| beef Packed with protein and micronutrients like iron and zinc, a little beef goes a long way. Partner beef with a high-fiber side dish like wild rice or bulgur and you can close the kitchen after dinner.

9| salad "Salad adds the bulk to a meal that keeps you full with less calories," according to Zied. Additional research from Penn State shows that people who eat salad at the start of a meal wind up taking in fewer calories all day than those who skip salad.

10| popcorn A?great snack that provides bulk, popcorn keeps your mouth moving longer than the same amount of calories of other snacks like potato chips or pretzels.

Try Whole grain products, just be careful, there is alot of carbs that kind of stuff.

This may sound odd... chickpeas. They're full of fiber and protein. I eat some chickpeas and I'm not hungry for hours. Canned ones are good (high in sodium, though, so I'd look for a low-sodium label).

I find porridge for breakfast keeps me going until lunch time. Generally protein tends to be more filling so anything with a higher protein content for meals or snacks. Good luck x

I find that apples keep me really full!Always have one for breakfast and another at lunch, it stops me from snacking on 'bad foods' during the day

Breakfast...kashi go lean oatmeal! Keeps me full until lunch!

Egg whites keep me pretty full. There's nothing wrong with snacking on healthy stuff all day long though, along with three rounded meals. Keeps your metabolism up.

Some great ideas there - thanks for posting!
Looks like protein and fibre are the key.
Oh, and refined sugars (an instant sugar-rush and quick come-down) will make you feel hungrier sooner.

greek yogurt does the trick for me.....Chobani mango is my all time favorite.

how often are you eating?

you should be eating a "meal" every 3-4 hours

unfortunetly i'm not a "beakfast" person. I have been trying to eat at least something in the morning but by lunch time i feel like i haven't eaten all day!! I try to incorprate good foods into my meals but sometimes they cost so much so i usually just go without (which i know isn't good)

xafricanqueen07x

Hot oatmeal in the morning keeps me full,
Also I eat greek yogurt mixed with grapes and that will fill you up
One mango works well for me
And lots and lots of water and protein!

molissep

a lot of the foods on that list are my top choices to stay full! oatmeal with a 1/2 cup skim milk and fruit keeps me full until lunch. i'm also a fan of egg whites and bananas to stay full. recently i found apple cranberry bran muffins at trader joe's that are only 80 calories and have 13 grams of fiber!!! they are great!

Sugar_Apple

For a snack definitely try bananas they tend to keep me full longer than apples

Breakfast - hard boiled eggs. Easy, cheap, portable and satisfying. I add pepper and paprika for taste

Lunch - chicken breast - when I eat chicken I stay full for about 5 hours straight! no cravings!

Dinner - Steak, chicken, or fish.

BASICALLY ANYTHING PROTEIN
