    proteins and fats keep you full the longest. Eating tons of green veggies also helps.

    I've heard the saying, but never tried it.

    Good luck to you!

    i've never heard that saying, but they do say that you should eat a bigger breakfast than a dinner, so that your body has time to burn most of it off by the time dinner comes. Personally, i eat small in the morning, like maybe a bowl of cereal or some egg whites and a fruit. then lunch i would have maybe a lettuce wrapped sandwich or salad, then dinner i would kind of blow it big lol. i would have my lettuce wrapped turkey burger and maybe treat myself to a small serving of low fat icecream or frozen yogurt. But point is that i think its easier to eat little in the morning so that way if you want that extra treat at night, you wont beat yourself up over it because you went big in the morning... if that makes sense ^_^

    AS far as calorie to meal ratio, thats individual, I couldnt eat Breakfast like a king if I tried (I would puke it all back up honestly) So I tend to eat most of my cals at lunch.

    Oatmeal, Apples, Yogurt with Granola, Carrots, Grapes are my fav filling and low cal snack options that keep me full for awhile. Im sure there are more (and yes a small serving of oatmeal is a gret snack! or the oatmeal bars as long as you go with the more natural versions) Im allergic to some nuts so most arent an option for me but those are great filling long-lasting snacks as well.

    Proteins make you feel full longer (hence why high protein lower carb is popular for weight loss) also complex carbs (basically unrefined, not the white stuff) because they take longer to digest

    upping my fibre really made a difference for me & i'm a big carnivore - i need some protein to keep me full :o)
    i have read that a little bit of fat helps too, but obviously don't overdo it!

    I've heard that before. The idea is that it will give your body time to burn that food off throughout the day while you are moving and it doesn't actually work that way.

    The plain simple fact of the matter when it comes to weight loss is calories in / calories out. Time doesn't really matter.
    I personally can't fall asleep if I go to bed hungry so I might have a snack 30 min - an hour before bed.

    What does help keep you from feeling hungry is eating small portions and eating often. This way you can stay full all day without stuffing yourself and you learn portion control.

    For fullness you want to look at foods that are high in protein, lean meats (chicken, turkey, fish), beans, lentils, chickpeas, soy nuts, egg whites etc.

    Fruits that are very water heavy help me feel full as well but not quite as much as protiens.

    Accompanying anything you eat will also help you feel full while keeping your calorie goal.

    I can't eat a large breakfast, so I eat a large lunch, instead, and a slightly smaller dinner.

    Pretty much nothing keeps me full for long enough on work days, but the stuff I eat now, like oatmeal, fruits, veggies, and nuts, definitely keep me fuller longer than the crap I used to eat.

    My favorite fill me up snack is greek yogurt and 1/2c of Kashi cereal (I like the honey almond) that really sticks with me for awhile. Anything protein usually helps as well...
