It seems like I'm always hungry when restricting calories. What are some of your favorite low calorie foods that make you feel full? Don't really care about taste, just something that fills you up without costing lots of calories.

    Vegetables & mushrooms, and depending on your definition of "low" some fish, & hard boiled eggs keep me full

    Depend on what I'm in the mood for. I like:

    -6 triscuits is only 120 calories and feels like I have bulk in my stomach.
    -1 cup of steamed broccoli
    -1 CUP OF strawberries if you have a sweet tooth
    -1hard boiled egg
    -1 ounce of cheese
    -yogurt with 1tbs of low sugar granola stirred in.


    I will chew gum if I 'think' I'm mouth hungry, then go for the snack if my stomach is truly hungry, or I'm under my calories.

    Popcorn - either air-popped DIY with a few sprays of oil & your favorite seasoning, or my favorite ready-to-eat version is "regular" salted Boom Chicka Pop.

    Veggies. It's hard to see the chicken leg on my plate because of all the veggies piled on there. I used to eat what I thought were decent portions of veg but I didn't feel full. So I doubled them up. Now they are filling. I buy frozen veg for ease and for lack of waste. Cheap, filling, low cal.

    I add extra celery to almost everything to bulk it up. I also eat 3 large meals instead of 6 small ones. I felt I was always hungry and snacking when I ate 6 meals.

    Vegetables are around 100 cal a pound, fruit are about 200 cals a pound, starch is 300-400 a pound, beans are about 600. Look up calorie density charts :)

    It isn't low calorie but I do much better on a high-fat breakfast. I don't start getting hungry again as quickly. My recent macro balance has been 35-40% of my calories from fat. Today, I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to get 700 more calories in after dinner. Fat is the fuel my body seems to prefer.

    I like Chia Seeds, they expand in your stomach and really fill you up!

    Light and Fit Greek yogurt. Only 80 calories per cup and super filling. I crave something sweet after dinner and this works great. I either slice strawberries and add them to the vanilla or I have a coconut one. It seriously tastes like cake.

    Only 15g of Chia Seeds yield 80kcal, 6g of carbs (4g are fiber), 5g of fat, and 3g of protein..and like I said..expand and fill you up! I mix 'em in with my protein shake.
