Not sure there are any. Give different veg ago like broccoli and carrots with bell peppers. Taste good with a lean steak.

So honestly I've found that it's better to eat higher calorie foods that are satiating.- Cucumber/tomato salads.
- Quinoa cooked in chicken stock (healthy and filling!)
- Siggis drinking yogurt
- Baked Brussels Sprouts
- Tri-color baby carrots
- Avocado! (high cal but very satiating. Same w/ pistachios)

This is going to depend on what macronutrients you personally find more satiating. Some people find protein to be very satiating, others get the same results from fat, fiber, or even carbohydrates.
When I want to bulk up my meals with lower calorie foods, I usually go for vegetables. Some of my favorites are roasted broccoli, shredded cabbage, and spiralized cucumber/zucchini. If I want something more savory, I'll go for sauerkraut.4 -

Eat low carb high fat high protein foods. fats and protein fills you up quicker and makes you satisfied longer.
Or if you eat carbs eat the complex carbs (oats brown rice brown pasta etc), simple carbs just make you hungry right away (sweets sugar bread pasta etc)
This study proves that in 19/20 of the studies, the low carbs groups lost more weight than the low fat groups even while being on the same caloric deficit. And obviously and with no doubts, the mid section (belly size) of the low carb dieters had a clear advantage over the low fat dieters.

Simply because first of all, fat and protein keeps you fuller and satisfied longer than carbs also because insulin sensitivity.a 150 calorie of chicken breast/tuna or eggs/cheese/butter will keep you fuller than 150 calories of rice/pasta/donut/cake
If you are someone that struggles with feeling full and always feel hungry on a diet, try ketogenic , atkins or intermittent fasting diets.
Hope it helps2 -

A bit yes (complex carbs are generally satiating).....but lots and lots of no.
I choose a moderate weekly weight loss goal so that I don't have to go hungry or radically change my diet. There are plenty of people here who don't low carb.....that aren't hungry.
IF is meal timing.....period. It works for some, not for others.
Low carb is faster "weight" loss in the beginning. However that "weight" is WATER weight (glycogen stores). The water weight returns if/when you start eating carbs again. Belly fat....nonsense. Diets don't spot reduce.
Losing weight is just the first step.....a temporary (radical) change in my diet means I have to figure things out a second time....when I get to maintenance.

I like cucumber.2

When I first started MFP, this is one of the first things I learned about me--which of my rotation of meals was satisfying yet lower in calories.
Soup. I really like hearty soups--beans, lentils, split peas. Because of my kids, I always serve homemade biscuits w/ honey when we have soup. I find this a low-calorie, satisfying, filling meal.
Fish. OK, most fish is not so filling. I usually serve it with larger portion of a very filling veggie--brocolli or sweet potato. Even though sweet potato is higher in calories, it is offset by the low-calorie fish.
Stir fry. OK, the rice is kinda high calorie. But if I portion it so that my high-veggie stir fry is the bulk of the meal & don't go over 1 cup of rice, it is a modest meal. And I serve white, not brown rice, since my daughter likes white & my son doesn't like either. If you served brown rice, you'd be better off than me.
Salad as main course. I have salads for lunch a lot. When I make it a taco-type salad, I use salsa instead of salad dressing. (no chips or tortilla) The bulk of the salad is romaine lettuce & salsa. Then whatever is available to keep it interesting, but not too much fat--avocado, meat, pepper, beans, refried beans, etc.
Salad as main course. OK. I often make salads for lunch from leftovers from dinner and I use unusual dressings occasionally. BBQ sauce is also a much lighter dressing--romaine/spinach, meat, cheese BBQ sauce. Yummy & modest.3 -
I like stir frys with shredded brussel sprouts, riced cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, and red peppers or eggplant with chicken breast. Try eating a 3 cups of vegetables wiht 4 oz. of chicken breast. Very filling. Put a low calorie seasoning on it. I like the new sugar-free bbq sauces. They taste sweet and sour.1

It depends on what you like, and what you mean by "low calorie". My favorite snacks these days:
Frozen mango with loads of cinnamon. A whole 10oz bag only has 180 calories, and that is a LOT of fruit.
An ounce of walnuts is also about the same amount of calories ~180 and is also filling (for me).
Same for an ounce of pepper jack cheese.
Low cal and also filling would be baby carrots and home made hummus.

I highly recommend eating more fiber as it's slow-digesting and can help you feel full immediately. Oatmeal, fiberOne Bars, beans, etc. are good options.
Also, try to mix carbs like mixed vegetables with protein such as vehicles, lean beef, turkey, etc.. A mix of carbs and protein can keep you more full throughout the day.
Here are some more low-calorie foods you can check out:

I love cucumber with a dash of salt and a squirt of lemon! Very low on calories and makes me feel full for a few hours...sometimes I add some chili powder to switch it up a bit, yum!

I just discovered Shirataki noodles (and pasta and rice) and am totally digging it! They are super low on calories and carbs and very filling and allow you to combine them with any veggie, sauce or protein of your choice... Cucumber is not making me feel satiated unfortunately, but I am in love with those konjac yam noodles (plus they are vegan and gf)

There is no food that will satiate the black hole I call my stomach, once it's within reach it has already crossed the event horizon.
an "Out of sight, out of mind" approach seems to be the best way to control hunger for me.4 -

Carbs fill me up, I wish it was fat or protein but its not haha.
I bulk my meals out with veg though. Like 1/2 a cup of oats is filling for me but not very much volume wise. If you shred a zucchini into them before cooking it makes like 3X the amount for 35 calories (give or take) more.
1/2 a cup of quinoa is pretty small but if you throw it on top of a very large salad its filling and a big portion.
Another favorite is carrot chips with gauc. Gauc is super calorie dense but carrot chips/ slices aren't plus the fiber is very filling.1 -

Agreed. Lots of "nope".
High fat was not satisfying my hunger. A combination of carbs (with fiber), protien and fats do it for me.1 -

^ this! Everyone is different. For me, for example, I totally steer clear of nuts. They never make me feel full in any combination and the drain my calories.
I find that it is the combination that helps. I never just grab 1 thing to eat. But maybe a smaller mini meal- something with protein, fat, and carb (ideally something with fiber). I can have 1 cup of cottage cheese with frozen blueberries and be way more full than eating a bowl of veggies. Now a bowl of veggies with chicken, much more filling.

I go for cabbage when I want a big, filling meal with low calories. I shred it and usually cook it in some chicken stock and I season it however I like. Lately I've been using a little soy sauce and asian chili garlic sauce. It's so good and I can have a huge amount with minimal calories. I usually pair it with a lean meat for dinner. I also like that cabbage is super cheap!

veggies work or low calorie yogurt, i eat one cup or half cup of green beans or peas or even pinto beans and they help fill up and keep you full longer because they are full of fiber1
-
Vegetables, lean protein (meat/fish more than dairy).2
-
I enjoy them, too. They're handy when I want a quick and filling snack, but they don't have any calories. I like them with peanut powder and soy sauce, or I also sometimes make a creamy cheesy low calorie pasta dish with noodles, shredded cabbage and some Parmesan, Laughing Cow cheese and a little broth all mixed together. And they're really cheap at my local Asian grocery stores.naomillion wrote: »I just discovered Shirataki noodles (and pasta and rice) and am totally digging it!
The secret to the noodles is to rinse very well, then dry fry them a few minutes before adding any sauces. The dry frying makes them go from completely repulsive to very tasty.

Watermelon is the king of high quantity, low calorie food.
I stuffed up on spinach and smoked salmon this morning.
If you're a fan of cheese, parmesan on everything.2 -
I love things like cabbage, steamed veggies paired with lean meat- Also stirfry veggies are great- can use lots of mushroom if don't prefer meat- lastly I love oatmeal with fruit soooo good and filling1

I found these Soleil yogurts in the supermarket last week. 60 calories for 150g tub. They came in a 6 pack and they're ideal for that mid afternoon or after dinner snack. I'm in Australia but I'm sure you guys have something similar in your country. Check the labels.1

Lean meat and veg.

The answer to your question might be found at this site: Very good information on what foods are filling:
http://nutritiondata.self.com/topics/fullness-factor
They also list a Better Choices diet and compare nutrition and fullness.1 -
In my experience, the" Fills you up quickly at low calories" is a tie between bok choy and jicama. For taste, jicama wins as it is deceptively sweet. 100 grams of jicama is ridiculously low in calories and high in fiber. I bought one root, used it, and haven't bought another, but I was impressed.1

I make a salad from shredded cabbage, half a cucumber, parsley. I add some salt, pepper and sugar, and lemon juice instead of the oil.
150 grams is only 35 calories.
With grilled or steam fish for protein it's a perfect light but very satisfying lunch.1 -
If you like mushrooms, try roasted portabella caps. I slice and season them, and roast them in the oven. Pretty low calorie and they are very hearty and filling.1
