I love egg drop soup. It is only like 60-70 calories for a cup of it and it keeps me full for quite a while0

Overall, for most people, the things that tend to correlate to feeling most full in controlled studies:
* Protein tends to be the most sating macro, carbohydrate in between, and fat tends to be the least sating
* Fiber increases satiety
* Energy density (more calories per gram) decreases satiety
My favorite sating foods are meats or pastas.

Proteins. Eggs are cheap and a large egg is only 70 calories each. A 3 egg omelet with veggies for less than 250 cal. Great way to stay the day and keeps me full till lunch0

I have discovered this week that a French toast bagel (230 cals) and 5 turkey sausage links (110cals) at 5:30am keeps me full until 12:30pm for lunch. So needless to say, I plan on stocking my fridge until I get sick of it.
But the sausage has a lot of protein though, so that explains that.0 -
Protein and fat do it for me. Nice and full after a stir fry with lots of meat, some veg, and done with camelina or coconut oil.0

Everyone saying eggs.. That's not true for me! I'm still starving after I eat eggs, but I still have them everyday anyway..
For me cereal and breads are filling.. But I try to stay away from those. If I have extra calories at the end of the day I use them for cereal lol0 -

I agree with above - eggs do not keep me feeling full for very long - there is protein but not fiber. Also, noodles/pasta (I LOVE!) but after eating a huge plate of spaghetti, in about 45 minutes, I could eat again.0

Eggs work for me but ONLY when I scramble them, better if I had bacon or potatoes but fine on their own. It's so strange how two boiled eggs are nothing to me but two scrambled are perfect. Maybe because I cheese my scrambled eggs?
My favorite filling dinner is tilapia, a baked potato, and mixed veggies. Also makes me feel incredibly healthy since it's nowhere near a cheeseburger...
...but a good old fashioned hunk of beef will do me just fine. I love burgers! Or beef mixed with pasta or a veggie. Probably the fat content.
For snacks, I like cheese sticks paired with a fruit so I get protein and simple carbs together, one for now and one to hold me over til later. Mozzarella and grapes are delicious, or an apple with PB (classic).
I can also subsist on edamame for quite a while. It's a good choice right before a *special* meal - starts eating a little later in the day, snack on edamame and drink plenty of water as you go, have a light meal for lunch and you'll conserve calories for a night out or what have you.0 -
Eggs definitely keep me fullest the longest.0

Peanut butter, protein shakes, salad before a meal.0
