I have a hard time staying full between meals and I usually have an intake of 1600 a day. I am new to this but it seems awfully hard to find satisfying meals. What are some of your favorite/most filling meals?

Ground turkey, spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, brussel sprouts ect..
Pretty much protein with a ton of veggies.0 -
It all depends on how you divide your cals through the day. I usually use over half my cals of the day on dinner because this is sustainable for me. A lot of other ppl don't like doing that. My breakfast and lunch are between 160-350 typically. So my dinners a very satisfying because I eat a big dinner.0

Artic zero ice cream0

One of my favorite meals involves shrimp, onions, green peppers (or broccoli), and sometimes mushrooms steamed with garlic (or garlic powder) and served over polenta or brown rice. Add a small salad on the side, served with a vinaigrette dressing, and it pretty much ticks all the boxes.0

Morning Star chick patty on a 100 calorie bun with a slice of cheese. Mustard, no mayo. I pair that with one serving of pretzel crisps. It's very filling and a common lunch for me.0

chocolate almond milk latte.

I like eating carrots with peanut butter (or without) and cheese sticks. For meals I usually have salads with the dressing on the side to control it a little better and chicken for protein which fills you up.0

Egg white omelets loaded with veggies and topped with salsa. Satisfying and low cal breakfast. I usually get egg beaters so that nothing is wasted. Yolks aren't bad. I just have high cholesterol....
Fish, chicken, pork tenderloin - any lean meats.
Roasted, baked, steamed or grilled veggies always awesome! No frying. No heavy oils. Nonstick spray is my friend!
Snacks - normally two snacks. One is a fresh fruit. The other is yogurt for protein. My favorite snack in summer is fresh sliced cucumbers.
I try to balance my dinner to include protein, vegetable and a starch.

My new favourite treat: freeze a banana (120 cal) + 1 tbsp. of baking cocoa (20 cal). Blend in the food processor - it makes the most decadent chocolate ice cream! And if you can't wait to freeze it, then just put it through as is and call it pudding0

I second the egg whites with veggies. I made little egg white bites in muffin tins and had breakfast for a few days of just those.0

If you have a costco near you they have really good salmon burgers that are local high protein. Also drinking a lot of water helps. Oh and gummy vitamins.. If you take a multi vitamin just get the gummy version and eat it as your snack.. Hope maybe this helps..
PS rice is a good filler too0 -
Hard boiled eggs...keep me full and green tea suppresses the appetite0

Tuna and Mini-Bell peppers are a favorite snack of mine.
Baked Chicken and Rice is a huge staple as well.0 -
I've been eating more eggwhites in a mug with veggies, some ham and a bit of cheese. Good and not too high in calories if you're using 1/2 an ounce of cheese.
I love the whole egg too, but I'll probably have to price out life insurance in the next couple months and total cholesterol has a big impact on price.0 -
Taco pizza. Whole wheat crust, 4 oz taco meat, 1 1/2 oz 2%milk mexican cheese and picante sauce.0
-
cooked apple with cinnamon
1 oz peanuts, when I need protein
boiled egg
baby carrots
plain nonfat yogurt.... I add sweetener and flavor extracts
homemade whole wheat bread roll
1 oz cheese
strawberries
cantaloupe
PB2 in place of regular, fatty peanut butter
sweet potato0 -
For breakfast I drink a smoothie or eat a bagel thin with cream cheese.
I eat a lot of tuna out of the pouch for lunch. Sometimes I eat it plain sometimes with mayo but my favorite is with flavored cream cheese. I eat it with any kind whole grain cracker or wheat bread. I also like to eat it on flatouts or "Joseph's" flax oat bran and whole wheat pita bread.
I, like others, save a lot of my calories for dinner because that is my biggest meal of the day since I have to cook for the whole family. But I still try to eat rice, mixed veggies, roasted veggies and we go through a lot of cottage cheese.
I still snack throughout the day on fruit or nuts (my favorite nuts are Blue Diamond Cocoa Roasted Almonds). I also really like fruit (pineapples or peaches mostly) with cottage cheese and a tablespoon of flax seed.0
