Nutritious filliing foods

chobani yogurt, has 14g of protein, very filling for a snack.
grilled chicken with veggies, or fish is a must for dinners...
celery with peanut butter
i've been making a smoothie consisting of
1 cup acai berry juice, 1 cup frozen berries, 1 banana, and 1 kiwi,
delicious!!!

I like the Cobani yogurts too so here is my other items
-oatmeal (fiber really fills you up)
-apples and peanut butter
-celery with whipped cream cheese (you get more per serving)
- turkey lettuce wraps with cucumbers and hummus

I am on a gluten Free diet so I do not have many carb options for you...lol Good luck

Beans and quinoa!

I do yogurts w/ ground flaxseed and a 1/2 TBSP of chia seeds and it keeps me for hours!!! The chia seeds have been a game changer for me.

Marzetti has a greek yogurt vegetable dip that is really good. I buy the carrot chips that you can find where the bagged salads are. It's a great snack. Sometimes, if I need carbs, I will buy the peppridge farm baked crackers, or baked tostitos and salsa---just don't deprive yourself. That always backfires on me. Good luck.

If you're looking for things that fill you up and keep you full, look for foods higher in protein. Carbohydrates provide quick-burning fuel, but protein provides slow-burning long-term fuel. So go for cheeses, meats, fish, chicken, eggs, nuts, mushrooms.

My favorite quick snacks to have on hand are hard-boiled eggs or Laughing Cow cheese wedges (the new strawberry flavor is amazing).

My favorite healthy, filling supper: in the morning, throw a handful of veggies in your crock pot, cover with water, then coat a pork chop with mustard or some other flavoring (BBQ? whatever you like) and throw it on top. Cook on low for 8-9 hrs and it's ready to eat when you get home from work.
I also like to brown some ground beef or chicken and add it to broccoli cheese soup for a hearty, healthy meal.
You can experiment endlessly with putting different spices, cheeses, and vegetable combinations in your omelets.

Good luck!

I find that I can get very satisfied by making a chili with 2# of ground lean beef or turkey. To that I add 15-16 ozs of diced tomatoes and the same size diced chili tomatoes, 8-10 ozs diced chilis, 15-16 ozs chili beans with the beef or 15-16 ozs plain white beans for the turkey. I also add sauteed onion and peppers, etc for a filler. Add a package of chili seasoning and a cup of 2% shredded cheese for smoothness. Add liquid for whatever consistency you might want. Simmer on the stove or in the microwave for 20 minutes.

Since I had gastro lapband surgery in 2009 to limit the amount I can eat at each meal, I can only eat very small amounts of food at a time - 1/2 to1-1/4 cup. I eat about 5 small meals a day, mostly snacks like yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes, scrambled eggs and 2% cheese, etc. When I get very hungry, a cup of chili really gives me a very comfortable feeling. Homemade soups with broth, vegetables, finely diced meat of some kind also satisfy me.

A stir fry of SHIRITAKI noodles (check them out online!! Only 40 cals for a whole 1/2lb package!) , lots of veggies, and whatever protein you prefer (chicken, shrimp, pork). Add a tbs of your fave sauce and you have a delicious, super filling meal.

*check out my diary-- I"ve been eating this same thing (or a variation of) for the last 3-4 days! Sooo good!!!

I made some ground chicken lettuce wraps for dinner last night, cook the chicken and saute whatever veggies you like in another pan , i used mushrooms, red cabbage, green onions, shredded carrots , green cabbage, red inions ect and use stirfry sauce in the ground chicken while you cooking it and then serve on romaine lettuce leaves, low carb choice..

Make soup!

I just made one tonight that came out to only 170 calories per 2 cup serving, and 23g of protein! It was just chicken breast, cabbage, carrots, onion, celery, corn, chicken broth, and spices. It's easy, healthy, and filling. And it's good for using up leftovers or random stuff you have around the house. I made this one because I had half a head of cabbage that needed to be used. I also make minestrone with sausage, chili with ground turkey or lean beef, chicken chili with chipotles in adobo sauce, lentil soup with sausage, there's all kinds of stuff you can make. Then you can freeze it in individual servings and always have quick healthy meals when you need one.
