food to make you fuller longer?

Look up foods that are high in protein and see what you like! There are tons of options for on the go too!

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

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.

Sounds like I need to take a trip to the grocery store, I'm a mom of 2 so on.the go healthy, filling snacks are important

Making a batch of oat bars with fruit and maybe some nuts for some healthy fats is a good idea and very easy to make

Shakeology!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Protein shakes

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.

I personally don't find this to be true at all. I used to have a whole wheat bagel for breakfast every morning, and I'd be starving by 10 or 11am. I've switched to eggs and bacon, similar amount in calories, and it keeps me full waaaay longer. Protein is way more filling... for me anyway!

I am going to be a contrarian here. If you are 5'7" and weigh 114 lbs, you are in the underweight category with a BMI of 17.9.

If you're hungry, have a cookie.

I was thinking the same thing!

No need for either of these comments? Just because she's slim doesn't mean she hold eat unhealthily because she's hungry?

We could ask a medical professional which is less healthy, an occasional cookie or having a BMI in the anorexic category and still obsessing about your calories. I have a really strong hunch what the answer would be. Any medical professionals here want to chime in?

So many people complain about BMI telling them they are overweight when they are SO sure they are not. But a slightly underweight BMI is automatically a sign of an eating disorder. :huh:

I don't know how recent the OP's proflie pic is, but she does not look unhealthy in it. She looks fit.

I very carefully DID NOT say she had an eating disorder. I discussed her BMI range. Not only is it in the underweight category, but the weight definition of anorexic (there's more to it than JUST the weight) is 15% below ideal weight. Her ideal weight is 135 at 5'7". 15% below 135 is 114.75. If she weighs 114 her weight is in the anorexic category.

That is not a diagnosis, it's a simple statement. As I said, there's much more to anorexia than JUST the weight, but she does meet that one piece of the criteria.

When my weight was 335, I was in the super morbidly obese category. When I got down to 329 I was in the morbidly obese category until I hit 262 at which time I was obese. Then at 196 I became overweight and at 164 I finally hit normal weight. I didn't have to like being told I was morbidly obese, but it was a statement of fact.

Her BMI is not in the "anorexic range" by any calculator I can find. What chart/calculator did you use? It is in the "underweight" range. Which simply means she is under that average healthy range. That's all. And she's not much under.
