    I find that foods that are nutrient dense satisfy my hunger more than calorie dense foods. I could probably eat several bowls of refined cereal in just a few hours and still feel hungry. But a full-fat, grass-fed yogurt or a couple of pasture-raised eggs scrambled in avocado oil will hold me for several hours. In our over-fed society, what we're starving for is actually nutrients!

    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.

    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

    where do you get it??

    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! :)

    A huge portion of broccoli, kale, carrots or other fibrous vegetable. Like an entire bag. Not hungry for ages and super nutritionally efficient.

    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...

    A raw carrot does it for me... As someone said, different things satisfy different people. I found out by accident that a raw carrot fills me up when I was cutting some up for my daughters lunch box and just did more for me and then several hours realised I still wasn't hungry. :D Now it's my go-to fridge nibble!
