    Hey! I'd say you wanna aim high protein - that's what will keep you fuller for longer! Lean bacon and eggs with some greens, oat and protein pancakes are a good one too! For lunch things like tuna, low fat cottage cheese, chicken salad etc are a great way to eat quite a lot of food but at low calories and high protein :) Check out my diary for some ideas

    The only thing that works for me is eating 3 balanced meals then several small snacks during the day.

    The open-faced egg sandwich sounds delicious. I'm going to try that for breakfast tomorrow.

    Eggs are awesome, I like to make egg wraps with scrambled eggs, cheese, flat bread, and as much spinach as I can stuff in there. I also find that if I eat vegetables at every meal that I get a lot more volume with meals without a ton of extra calories. If I'm going to the gym that morning then I usually start my day with yogurt or hot multi-grain cereal and then finish with eggs and such when I get home.

    For me the key is to look at the calorie density of food and look for choices that allow more volume for less calories. Lettuce, broccoli slaw, spinach, carrots, pepper sticks, etc. There's a website that shows what 200 calories looks like in different foods, that shows you just how much the volume varies depending on the food.

    I've been eating egg muffins for breakfast (egg, spinach, low fat cheese & low sodium ham). They're really good & keep me full. Planning on making protein pancakes soon. Haven't tried them yet. Haveground turkey with spinach, baked chicken with veggies, salmon with veggies, I eat brown rice once a day. I eat 4 smaller meals & snacks through out the day to stay full. Trying to focus on high protein, low sodium, low sugar. Some of my favorite snacks are arice cake with a tsp of natural peanut butter, quest bars (very high on protein), carrots, natures path bars, greek yogurt.
