What can I eat to feel full that's not fattening?

Original fiber one cereal is REALLY filling and if you eat it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, cinnamon, and stevia it tastes amazing too.

Egg whites.
Make a huge savory portion with vegetables, some cheese, ketchup, and a bit of butter spray.
Or a sweet version with light maple syrup, fat free cream cheese, cinnamon, butter spray, & stevia.

Vegetables in general. Cook a ton of them and add it to anything you are eating (chicken, fish, beef, pasta dishes, etc). Put a low cal (20/tbsp) sauce on it so you actually enjoy it.

HUGE SALADS. A bag of prewashed lettuce + vegetables + some protein + dressing = you will be full.

0% greek yogurt. Mix it with fiber one, puffed cereals, fruit, cinnamon, stevia, sugar free chocolate syrup, sugar free jello, sugar free pudding mixes or actual sugar free pudding, etc. You can even mix it with dill & cucumber if you want something savory.

Popcorn doesn't really fill you up imo, it just gives you a big bowl of something to munch on. It's kind of like eating air. There's a difference between wanting to sit down to a big bowl of food for a while vs wanting to feel full.

roasted cauliflower fills me up

I love making chia pudding by putting chia seeds in a jar with fruit and pouring a protein shake over them and leaving them to soak.

Bump for later

Protein is always good. Apples can be helpful. The pectin helps with satiety, also the mastication process helps to satisfy. Some like pb with their apples (watch out for that because it is loaded with kcals.) Some try to avoid fruits do to the fructose and their glycemic index, but apples are a good choice, or pears.

I don't know if this was mentioned, so I apologize for any redundancy...

One of the biggest things I had to learn is that there's no need to eat until I'm "full". If I have a snack that is 250 calories, with a good ratio of protein/fat/carbs, then I've eaten enough calories and nutrition to fuel me for the next few hours even if I'm not feeling full. My unfull belly is not a signal that I need to eat more.

This can be very challenging to learn, and the way to go about it is to trust the numbers. Trust your food diary to show you, yes, you have enough calories and nutrition to get through your morning/afternoon/whenever with enough energy. Your full or empty belly is not a reliable signal. If I have a 350 calorie breakfast but I'm not full, that doesn't mean I need more food. I know that 350 is enough, regardless of the volume of the contents of my stomach.

A huge benefit of learning this, for me...is that I realize I actually perform better when I'm not full! I have more energy, feel less lethargic, and literally feel lighter when my belly isn't full of food. It's easier for me to function on an emptier belly (as long as my caloric/nutritional needs are met of course). Sometimes I purposely eat calorie dense foods in order to get my calories without filling up.

Having said that...yeah, lol sometimes I like to eat until I'm in a food-coma. My dinner is usually humongous...bulked up with tons of veggies, along with a healthy portion of protein and sometimes something carby. You don't have to give up that happy-full feeling completely, but realize it's not necessary for being satisfied and properly fueled.

(Other people have given great advice, too, about getting enough fat and protein, those ARE essential to feeling satisfied. In my response, I'm strictly referring to "fullness" which is different from "satiety".)

Fiber, fiber, and more fiber! It expands in your stomach making you feel more full longer! But what ive noticed is snacking isnt bad as long as you snack on the right stuff, increasing your water intake helps as well. Makinh these snall changes, ive lost 15 pounds in 24 days. Good luck!

1tbs smooth peanut butter mixed with half a banana and 1tsp of honey spread on crispbread is a great snack

try lean proteins like chicken and/or fish in salads. I tend to eat lots more salads but add chopped almonds cahews or sunflowers to it. and chicken tends to keep me full with the size of the salads I make with tons of fresh veggies.good luck to you.

This is what I have for snacks slices of turkey from the deli. one piece of Fit & Active cheese, one boiled egg , then I make my smoothie with my Nutri bullet, 1/2 cup of frozen fruit each strawberries,blueberries, & peaches, then 1 cut up banana a small container of Fit & Active yogurt , & a dash of cinnamon then fill up to the line with water. This makes 2 full size glasses I buy my fruit at Aldi's which is only $2.49 per bag & my Fit & active yogurt for only $0.39.
You will be filled to the brim with all this & it is all low calories & healthy for you,plus I would never sit down & eat fruit like that just by it self, Oh you can add chia seeds to the drink also they swell & fill you up I use them all the time.Let me know if you make this what you think!!

I nuke a full bag of green beans, add salt and 1 Tbsp of parmesan cheese and eat the whole thing for less than 150 calories.

My go to breakfast is 2 hard boiled eggs and half an avocado. Fills me up for most of the morning. If I'm hungry before lunch I'll usually have an apple with a tablespoon or 2 of almond butter. Definitely stay with high protein, some fats and fiber.
