For me it is eggs and vegetables. Like a veggie omelet with cheese. I think it is probably different for everyone.0

Foods that are high in protein and healthy fats. Chicken, salmon, eggs, avocado, etc.0

You need food with lots of fiber not protein. Oats, vegetables, fruits, legumes. Also if you're eating foods such as rice, pasta and bread eat the brown variety as they always have higher fiber content and will defiantly keep you full.0

This is not fully true, Actually, having a nice combination of both would be good. However, it is personal. Some people will claim protein keeps them full longer while other people will say fiber.
For me, it is protein.
OP, I say try a few different combos and see what works the best! Good luck!0 -

Of course a variety of carbs, protein and fiber is essential but that's not what we're speaking of. Unless more protein is required in the diet then fiber would be better to increase. Also since she has said her calorie count is going over it'll be alot easier and beneficial to eat more/added vegetables such as broccoli rather than high protein foods into the diet that will also add substantial calories.0 -

I'll agree with you that it's better to go with the whole grain carbs but I totally disagree with you on fiber over protein. Protein and healthy fats take longer to digest and process and therefore keep you full longer. This is actually why it's best to avoid protein and fats when you're sick to your stomach - they're too hard to process when your system is in a fragile state.
There are plenty of people, like myself, who can eat fiber all day long and never be full, it's just the way our systems work. The only way I can stave off hunger is to eat more protein and most from a natural source. Remember, we're all different, there are no absolute statements.0 -
Fats help me. Fats and protein together: priceless.0

If a meal consists of 500 calories and I added 100g chicken to try and make me feel 'full' this would add 170 calories (estimate)
If I was to add 100g broccoli it's about 40 calories.
So to finish you would need to eat over 400g of broccoli to get close to the same amount of chicken calorie wise. Please don't tell me 400g of broccoli would not fill you up.
Also just to add, there is way more nutrients and just more benefits from adding more vegetables into your diet over some chicken.0 -

Yep that's true. Add some sausage or bacon to that omelet, and I'll be full for hours. Just the eggs and veggies? Um, hungry again in about two hours, if I get full at all.0 -
Protein shakes0

any slow digesting protein should work:
Heavy Whipping cream, yogurt, casein, Fish, or adding fish oil to your last meal
Natural peanut butter may help as well!0 -
For me it's Greek yogurt, fruit and nuts like almonds. Eating those things throughout the day keeps me full until dinner and uses way fewer calories than the frozen Lean Cuisine meals I used to eat for lunch.0

Her BMi isn't in the anorexic category and your making assumptions because she's underweight she's unhealthy. Just not necessary is all.0
