Any idea of foods low in calories that will still fill you up? Started calorie diet and when eating and reach goal of calories to have a day I still feel hungry.

    Oatmeal (no sugar added) is my go to fill-up, low calorie snack and you can mix an endless amount of things with it.

    celery, cabbage, raw spinich, cauliflower (makes good rice and potatoes replacement). Slushies over Mio + xanthum gum really help with sweet touth.

    I made quinoa stuffed peppers the other night that are massive and less than 200 calories.

    I altered ingredients to my preferences. Another thing I found helpful was making sure to drink an entire glass of water throughout dinner, that fills you up more than you realize!

    cottage cheese and yogurt mixed together are my go-to.
    Tuna, or chicken added to salad greens would be next on my list.

    Popcorn is my go-to as well, but if you have some more calories available then apple slices with peanut butter will really fill you up.

    1490 calories a day is my target. I did just start exercising at the gym recently and been going every other day just for a week now. Body still getting used to that but I guess that can help a bit losing some calories to be able to eat a little more a day. I am battling fibromyalgia though too so it can be difficult at the gym. Hoping thing's get easier with that. But I do still feel hungry otherwise.

    Another vote for popcorn here. I like adding nutritional yeast for flavour and added protein.

    Veggies are also good, but sometimes raw veggies make me more hungry (what?! I know). Eating them with hummus / high protein pitas helps. In fact, adding veggies to beans or even pasta helps create a satisfying meal while cutting the cals.

    Drinking liquids while eating is a great tip, I like to try a break mid-dinner to drink a glass of water or tea. I think room temp is better for your digestion (at least in my case).

    learn to love vegetables! Seriously! You can eat 3 to 5 servings of green vegetables like broccoli, spinach, zucchini, green beans, ect...and the calories are around 85 to 120 depending on what you choose. That's for 3 to 5 servings! Thats a lot of food! Go for the greens :smiley:

    What kind of food do you like...make low cal versions

    Eg I really like chilli ...so now I make a vegetable version with squash, courgettes, carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes and other veg, eat 500g over 100g rice with 10g grated cheese for under 300 calories ..hugely filling

    But really it depends how many calories and the food you like and where you are happy to make concessions

    Like I wouldn't eat diet ice cream but a real icecream worked into my lower cal day is satisfying

    Mini cucumbers from Costco. They have a great crunch, and are very portable. I also like popcorn.
