Put that salad on top of a Baconator.

Everyone is on the money. Protein and fat will make you feel full. Deli ham and honey mustard. Poached chicken, apples and pecans.

All above with a homemade olive-oil based vinaigrette. Don't be afraid of eating good fat.

Crumbled feta salad with sweet agave,soy,lime & vinegar dressing with Roasted peppers

I really like to bulk out my salads by cramming as much as possible into them, and then adding some BIG flavours such as dressings,sun dried tomatoes,spices and roasted veg

For me pretty much any salad is filling BUT cut out the sugary low fat dressing. Go for a squeeze of lemon or lime and some real fat - like olive, walnut or avocado oil. The sugar in low fat dressing spikes your insulin, making you feel hungry again when it drops and you can't actually access all the nutrients in your greens without a bit of fat.

I like avacado, can of tuna, and eggs - and I am a sucker for croutons!

My daily salad is:

3 oz of Spinach (this is a lot)
6 oz of Sauteed, seasoned, chicken (Raw weight)
1/4 TBSP of Coconut oil (to cook chicken)
2 strips of bacon
2 Hard boiled Eggs
1.5 oz of Shredded Cheese
No dressing (no need for it)
