Filling foods that are low calorie and not unhealthy

Stdavis53

Anything with a ton of fiber is going to be filling and keep you going for a longer period of time. Oatmeal is a great source of fiber! Super delicious & low in calories...try it out!

Cream of Wheat is great too. Even higher on some nutrients

If you like noodles...the answer: shirataki noodles!!! I will try to find the post to make it. It changes the taste/texture tremendously.

I like to have:

Sandwich thin wheat bread
2 egg whites, or whole
1 slice of ham diced
about 15 ounces mozarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon olive oil mayo

Make a sandwich, and it's about 200 cals, i think it's a good breakfast. Can use regular sandwich bread and add 100 cals.

You can also eat as many egg whites you want with a corn or flour tortilla it's very good too.

I really like the chobani with fruit cup. It has a lot of protein

Yoplait 100 cal vanilla greek yogurt, PB2 and apples. I use the yogurt PB2 mixture for a dip for apples. I also add some chia seeds to my yogurt PB2 mixture. YUMMY!!!!:flowerforyou:

Avocados (just with a sprinkle of salt and eat with a spoon right out of its peel)
Garbanzo beans (I like a 'salad' with garbanzos, avocado, grape tomatoes, and a drizzle of Italian dressing, yum!!!)
Hummus (dip baby carrots, celery, bell peppers, chicken...)
Almonds (Blue Diamond and Emeral both make all sorts of flavors, sweet, spicy, savory...all delicious)
Raw spinach (really great as a salad base, has better nutrients than iceburg lettuce, also great on roast beef or turkey sandwiches)

All of those are high in fiber and protein, which make them good sources of energy and good for keeping you feeling full for quite a while. Yes, avocados have fat. But it's the 'good' kind of fat, and they are considered to be very good for you.

To the OP, first off...you're doing awesome man! Secondly, I'm not sure what your calorie intake is, but I'm around 1,820. I'm doing a zone diet so I'm between 40-50% carbs and 20-25% fat and protein...I've found this ratio to be pretty good for me in terms of eating at a deficit but not feeling hungry. I try to keep it as close to 40/30/30 as possible, but sometimes it's difficult. I don't kick myself unless I go over 50% carbs. The protein and healthy fats you get at this macro ratio really helps to keep you feeling full.

In RE to my carbs, most of mine come from whole grains, oat meal, whole grain cereals, nuts, etc. most of my sugars come from fruits and vegetables. While not completely absent from my diet, I don't have much in the way of processed sugar..candies, sodas, etc.

Fruits and vegetables with high water content or high fiber seem to work the best for me in RE to feeling full longer. I also eat a lot of lean protein...not just at primary meals, but throughout the day. This really helps to keep me feeling full without loading up on calories...and it keeps my macros in line.

Threads with the most recent comments are on the top of the list. As people comment on other threads, this thread gets pushed down and could possibly be so far down that it wouldn't be on the main page. Bumping, bumps it back up to the top so that people scanning the list of topics will see it.
