Hi,

So I was in a pattern of eating more than my allotted calories. Now I am trying to stick with about 1700 calories a day.
Sometimes though I feel hungry and end up eating more than that. What types of food are good to help with feeling
full? In the evening I eat almond butter and a small piece of Lindt chocolate which helps me to stay full through the
night, but obviously I don't want to get in the habit of eating that throughout the day. Any ideas welcome, thanks!!

    Of course, not all in the same day....

    Mfp helps me KNOW that I've gotten enough nutrients & protein and whatever so then if I am feeling hungry (a problem I deal with A LOT) I snack on raw veggies which I happen to love. Red peppers, tomato's, snap peas, cukes. But overall, eating a high protein and fiber diet keeps me satisfied. But also getting my healthy fats and whole grains!!

    Make sure you're getting enough fat at each meal. If you're worried about the calories, try lowering your starchy carb intake and replace it with healthy fats. For example, have a smaller sweet potato and put grass-fed butter on it. Have a smaller bowl of oatmeal and add a little grassfed cream. Try to get as much bang for your calorie buck as you can. i've started mixing my tuna with mashed avocado instead of mayo. Calorie count is slightly less, and I'm adding healthy fat & fiber.

    I make sure I eat enough protein at each meal and for a snack. It helps to keep me fuller. Also, veggies help. I don't eat a lot of starchy foods.
