Any suggestions on foods that will help you to stay full longer throughout the day? I find that I am always hungry a couple of hours after dinner and I usually have no calories left at that point or very little?

I have the same problem. I've found that if I'm getting enough lean protein, I'm not so hungry. Oatmeal is nice and filling as well.0

Usually if I have oatmeal or eggs in the morning, I don't get the hunger pains nearly as bad later in the day.0

Anything high in fiber. Raw veggies are always good. I also try to squeeze in a snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon, even if it's only a small something. I find I eat a lot less at lunch and dinner and feel less hungry throughout the day.
Hope this helps!0 -
I find that anything with enough protein helps, as long as it's not too salty. Salt just makes me hungry. I find that low fat cottage cheese helps, as does scrambled egg whites. An apple will help too.0

Wow, you guys are right on it! Fiber keeps you from feeling hungry. There is good fiber in an apple, or banana.0

Chobani greek style non-fat yogurt. Very high protein content and it's not watery like most others. Very nice taste.0

I dont know about yall if your trying the 5-6 meals a day program, but it does suck that you stay hungry trust me I know. I use to be a heavy eater. Though I feel that I know that my stomach is shrinking. I try some gum or tic tacs just to get rid of the urge.0

Chobani or whatever brand Greek Yogurt... and I put Grainless Cereal by Lydia's organics in it... that has about 7 g of protein in half a cup -quite a few calories but very filling breakfast! I am always willing to put the calories in breakfast over other meals.

Try having dinner a little later, and/or saving some calories for a small, healthy evening snack. Protein will help you feel full longer, so make sure you get enough protein w/ dinner.
My evening snack is usually lowfat yogurt or cottage cheese /w honey (usually satisfies my craving for sweets) with a small number (6-12) almonds.0 -
Fiber, Protein and Whole Grains. Stay away from sugar and simple carbs such as white bread and white rice.0

Eat a hot dinner! Warm food makes you feel fuller longer. And make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
If you get late night cravings, try drinking a cup of hot tea or black coffee. I've even heard that drinking green tea helps rev up your metabolism!0 -
Thanks, will have to try some of these out!0

Another thing to ask yourself is how well you're spacing your meals out during the day? If I eat lunch too early, I'm usually hungry before dinner, and sometimes after. :laugh: But sometimes I can eat the exact same meals on different days but feel fuller due to the way I've spaced them out.0
