    Anything high on protein is correct. Plus, your body will work harder at burning it all up, so, win-win.

    I put 2 tablespoons of oat bran in my chobani yogurt. Makes it that much healthier and more filling.

    A hot cup of tea. I realized recently that sometimes when I'm feeling "munchy" I'm actually just cold (go figure wisconsin!). I have a hot tea and put on a sweatshirt and then wait 20 minutes to see if I'm still hungry.

    A fish filet (anything I can get individually vacuum-packed in bulk), grilled on my george foreman with a coating of cajun seasoning (or sometimes lemon and garlic), with half a bag of steam-in-the-microwave veggies makes for a big plate of food and under 300 calories, plus it helps me get to my protein goals without adding loads of fat or carbs. And as a bonus, it's fast, especially if you use a white fish like swai or tilapia that thaws in about 5 minutes under running water and cooks in about 2 1/2. Even the thicker filets like swordfish or something only take about 5 min at 375*.

    I keep a huge pot of cabbage/vegetable/lentil soup on hand to munch on during the day (or evening) when I need a "little something." It's filling, satisfying, nutitious, and low calorie.

    protein, protein and protein.......steak, chicken, tuna, eggs, protein shake....close second some nuts (almonds are my go-to)
    Thirdly cottage cheese, or full fat yoghurt - basically anything with protein in it...

    yep, this gets my vote.
    dense protein def keeps me feeling FULL LONGER.

    One ounce of almonds (about 24 nuts) is 170 calories. If you combine that with drinking an 8-ounce glass of water, this will help fill you up.

    Try more protein right after excercising, and when you know it will be a while before you eat again. Try some Hormel turkey chili with no beans.....a ton of protein, low carbs and low fat content

    I know what you mean about feeling "empty". I always feel that way when I diet too! I have come to realize that there is a difference between feeling "full" and not being hungry anymore. If you feel full then you have eaten too much. Being "full" is what got us in this trouble in the first place! Have to admit though, I would love to eat until I'm full and not gain weight! I can eat whole grain, high fiber, lots of fruits and veggies, lean protein, etc. and I still am not satisfied. I think some of us have more of a mental need to be full!

    For me when I'm starving and don't have a lot of calories I eat 1cup of progresso lentil soup : 160calories and I sautee 4 ounces 100-110 calories of Tyson fully cooked chicken breast. I season with lemon pepper or soy sauce (just watch your salt) then I add the sauteed chicken to the lentil soup. It hits the spot, fills me up, and not a lot of calories. A hearty type of meal.
