foods that make you less hungry ?

I agree with the warning about almonds. They are great for a calorie boost and I eat a lot of them when hiking but that's when my TDEE is super high and ai struggle to get enough calories. Almonds are calorie dense and you could probably have two slices of pizza for the caloric cost of a large handful of almonds and I'd say the pizza would be more satisfying.

I eat greek yogurt and edamame (green soybeans) between meals and this keeps me from getting hunger pains. I also recommend drinking lots of water throughout the day and green tea!

Perhaps a healthier option than Cheetos might be sriacha and/or wasabi almonds. Both delicious, but high in sodium. You can also make turkey chili or shrimp creole crazy hot.

Along the line of wasabi almonds, you can find Thai spicy almonds at Trader Joes (&many other snacks )....if you like popcorn, they have snack size bags (150 calories per serving). I read somewhere that popcorn has fiber? Popcorn hasn't worked for hunger, for me, but if cheetos work for you the bag of popcorn may do the trick. I've used both (cheetos &popcorn) for @work snacks.

Thumbs up!!

Ps: Hope you take the advice above to spread out your calories instead of one big meal which could potentially throw you off your program.

Honestly, y'all should check out dried edamame. 1oz has 130cal, 13g of protein, 3g of carbs, 7g of fiber. The wasabi flavor is super

It's very individual as well. The Cheetos would make me more hungry, personally. It's a learning process, you have to get to know your own appetite.

I do like spicy thai food thanks for the suggestion. I don't eat breakfast though, I know its the most important meal of the day and blah blah blah. I just notice I tend to be More hungry throughout the day if I eat breakfast. Idk why

What do you have for breakfast? My smoothie has a lot of protein and fiber, and takes me hours to consume and feel hungry for lunch.

I think the foods that make you feel full is more individual. I found that a high fibre meal in the middle of the day will keep me going. Like another poster I've reduced breakfast to just a tea on some days. I can't go without anything, but keeping it small seems to help. I really encourage playing around with different things. I tried eating lower fat, higher fat, IF. And I found that including a more moderate amount of protein & fat and keeping my fibre up made the most difference, and meal timing is actually huge for me. I feel better if I have my dinner much later than my family does. But that only works if I have a high fibre lunch! Which is kinda random & very different from a lot of posters I think, fruit smoothies didn't help me at all - in fact I often ate more. & every protein powder I tried made me gag. lol.

I have found that white rice (for some reason) makes me feel hungry quickly recently, so I'm thinking of switching out my lunch with oatmeal, since I eat oatmeal for breakfast every day and it still makes me feel full even after I go to the gym! Of course, I don't eat oatmeal just by itself, I also add in berries and fruits and honey, but it's so much more filling than anything else I eat and it's very low calorie!

breakfast that helps is old fashioned oats with chia and a protein like a boiled egg. Beans are great for being filling. Bean soup.... Cooking Light has lot of great recipes. Go for fiber and protein...
