I try to stay within my calorie range. but sometimes i get too hungry then eat badly.
i drink a lot of water, but I guess I don't really know what kinds of foods are lower cals and more filling?

    I am going to suggest:

    all low cal/low fat foods... the only trick here would be stick to the serving size... GOOD LUCK!

    Oatmeal! Light wheat bread. Just stick with lighter but filling carbs, like whole grains. Also whole wheat pasta is a no fail! Just make sure to pick up the stuff that says "light" on it over something regular. For example, I love whole wheat light wonder bread. it's only 70 calories for two pieces but I'm still getting my whole grains which keep me full :)

    VEG! And MORE VEG!

    I love it. Just ate almost 3 cups salad (cabbage, carrot, spinach, beetroot) with feta cheese and a light dressing and I'm stuffed :-)

    Apples with PB
    Bananas with PB
    Almonds
    Fiber One bar

    :)
  • I don't care how many veggies I eat, I always feel hungry afterwards. I have been eating the 100 cal packs of almonds and those keep me full! Protein is what gives you the full feeling according to my nutritionist.

    honestly. snow peas and green beans always do the trick for me :D an entire BAG for only 80 calories?! sign me up
  • Bananas!
  • i buy the hugest green apples i can find.
    Fills me right up.
    After a workout, i add a bit of peanut butter and i'm full all day.
    Also make sure you drink a bunch of water!
    And I always find a giant salad with green, red and yellow bell peppers to be especially filling.
