I need ideas for food that is filling but very very little calories. Iv only been eating 2 times a day an orange for breakfast with water and a small piece of meat with alot of broccoli with water. I need some other ideas. I work out lightly through out the day. Jogging and sit-ups.

Why very little calories? What is your MFP calorie goal?

toxikon · November 2017

Check out skinnytaste.com for recipe ideas.

Don't set your calorie goal too low, you'll burn out quickly and feel like crap and end up bingeing and giving up. Seriously.

Put your stats into MFP, set your goal based on how much weight you want to lose each week (1lbs per week is good for most people) and eat that much.

Shouldnt really go more than 500 cals below what your body needs.

Don’t worry about very little calories if that’s all you’re eating. Your body needs fuel.

fuzzylop72 · November 2017

There's spreadsheets which you can sort to get calories per 100g. However, your calories already seems in the vlcdish range.

Try eating small portions throughout the day. Protein and veggies.

AlisonTietz · November 2017

You are not eating near enough! Your body will go into starvation mode and try to hold on to every calorie you feed it. One great site is cookinglightdiet.com. You do have to sign up for the service but it provides you a meal plan for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks tuned to your criteria. This gives you multiple suggestions per day for each meal that are all pretty delicious.

Number of meals is irrelevant. Exercise is not necessary for weightloss. What do you need ideas for? Food? What do you like? Filling food is food with enough calories. Water isn't food. Why can't you use MFP as designed?

okay thats just garbage.

OP- what is the calorie goal MFP gave you? eat that. not less. eat THAT. I had oatmel, yogure and 3 hard boiled eggs for breakfast and after gym snack. then leftovers (roast pork and apples) for lunch and a cucumber and cheese for snack. french bread pizza for dinner later. and 2 pieces of chocolate after that. im coming in at 1600 calories and have some leftover from my workout this morning. I'm a 5'1 40 year old WOMAN. you can eat WAY more than i can and still lose!

This is what 100 calories of nuts looks like.

Anything is allowable as long as it fits in with your calorie goal. What is your daily calorie goal?

How many total calories are you eating per day. I lost weight on 1870. Just eat more often, or eat much bigger meals.

I'm not sure I'm understanding your question. Are you trying to eat very few calories in total all day long or are you just looking for foods that are, individually, low in calories? The description of your daily diet makes it sound like you are eating very little and that is confusing me.

Of all the dangers of undereating, starvation mode is not one of those

LAWoman72 · November 2017

I think severe restriction of this type (or advocating it) - i.e. eating just a little more very low-calorie food in addition to eating the maybe 400-500 calories you list above - is against TOS.

The diet you've described here adds up to less than 500 calories. That's very low calorie. Is this all you're eating? Is there a reason you're aiming to eat so little and are you under medical supervision with this diet?

There are a ton of fruits and veggies other than broccoli and oranges that you could add for variety. Squash, green beans, berries, apples, cauliflower, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, carrots, parsnips, almost any kind of garden salad, radishes, etc. You could make stir fry with a whole bunch of veggies, some meat, and some basic seasonings. You could look into low calorie Buddha bowls or try making things like taco salad. It really depends on what you like to eat and what kind of goals you have. But definitely don't take your calories so low that you're hurting yourself. That's a quick way to misery, ime.

T1DCarnivoreRunner · November 2017

It sounds like you are not eating a lot of calories anyway, but I don't know what portion sizes you are eating.

As to the question about what is filling without as many calories... I spent a very long time having hanger issues. For the first 2 years of losing, I could (and occasionally did) eat 20K-30K calories on the rare day I would set aside and eat as much as I wanted. On other days, I felt like I was starving.

Now that I'm more "normal" in terms of appetite, I find that the most filling foods without as many calories are boneless/skinless chicken breast, lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, pickles, tuna, egg whites, and green beans.

Grimmerick · November 2017

Hey there Hun, I've learned a lot on MFP and the best thing I learned, you do NOT have to suffer to lose weight. Please please please don't make yourself miserable unnecessarily. Keep it very simple, find out how many calories you need to eat a day to lose a pound or two a week (your choice).Then focus only on eating at that calorie budget and getting lots of protein and good fat (it will keep you satisfied). That's it, you don't have to overcomplicate or be miserable to get results. Learn from my mistakes!!!

byrnet18 · November 2017

You're going to burn out before you even start to make it habit. Eat an omelette with meat and veggies inside and slice some avocado for the good fats, or make a veggie/meat egg scramble for breakfast. Then make a big salad for lunch with some protein and for dinner try to vary your meats (pork roast, pork chops, hamburger patty, chicken, fish, shrimp) and pair it with a healthy carb like brown rice, sweet potato, roasted red potato, quinoa, couscous and then a veggie. Roasted broccoli and brussel sprouts are two of my favorites. You have to switch it up every few days or you will burnout and binge.

Aaron_K123 · November 2017

My idea is that you should eat a lot more than that. Weightloss should be a sustainable lifestyle change, not a whip to self-flagellate with.

JaydedMiss · November 2017

your not going to get support here to help you starve yourself.

Austin455sd · November 2017

Thanks Everyone for the comments. I have tried alot. So I was looking for the lowest calorie foods That will make me feel full, but not make me fat. Honestly the lower the calories I eat the better. I just don't want the hungry feeling.

davidylin · November 2017

Generally speaking the community here will advocate for a diet with a minimum of 1000-1200 calories per day, as fewer than this typically results in a host of health problems. We're supportive of your effort to obtain better health, however, we all recommend that you add more food to your diet.

I find this resource is helpful when showing people a practical guide to fast food ordering with calorie restrictions: https://gethealthyclarkcounty.org/eat-better/fast-food-under-500cal/

Aaron_K123 · November 2017

No man, no. That isn't true. Not sure why you have taught yourself that but no.

What you want to do is to eat as much as you can while still being in a sustainable caloric deficit to lose weight slowly over time. This is to provide you adequate nutrition to maintain your muscle mass and provide for your body. Eating less than that is not somehow "more success" it is missing the point entirely.

You need to eat, your body needs sustenance and larger bodies are going to need larger amounts of food because you are moving around more mass. That is okay. I don't know how big you are but if you are like a 300 pound 6' tall dude then you probably would lose weight quickly eating 2500 calories a day even without exercise.

No. The less you eat is not beter. You feel hungry because your starving. Your body NEEDS fuel its not an option, It will force you to binge eventually. And then youll regain anything you lost, Likely more. Your body canibalizes its muscle aswell as fat. If you managed to keep losing, You will end up having no muscle and look awful the way your trying to head. Cut it out eat at a reasonable deficit and stop forcing yourself to starve and suffer. Clearly your not enjoying it.

No, the person who can eat the most and still lose weight is the winner. Going on a crash diet will lead only to failure and then you will be back to Square One, wondering why you didn't listen to all the good advice you are being given here. Lose weight too rapidly, on too high of a deficit, and you shoot yourself in the foot as you will be losing a lot of muscle as well, which you kind of need.

It isn't the high calorie foods that make you fat, but rather the total amount you eat, and it is totally unnecessary and detrimental to health to try starving your body into submission. Eventually, you will end up breaking and binge eating. Those posting here know what they are talking about, and I am sure many made the same mistake as you currently are. Your health should be your primary goal, not losing the weight as quick as humanly possible and ending up a saggy bag with loose skin and no muscle.

There's no low calorie food that can substitute what your body wants. You have certain nutritional needs that your body is asking you to fulfill. Iron, calcium, essential fatty acids, a minimum amount of protein, potassium, electrolytes, magnesium, vitamins, etc. The reason the lowest calorie goal for men is considered 1500 calories is because once you get beneath that you have a hard time filling those needs. Your body is hungry because you're eating less than a third of what it requires and your diet is missing out on a ton of nutritional needs. An orange, some broccoli, and a piece of meat will never fulfill them and you can load up on all the magical low calorie foods you want but it still won't meet your nutritional requirements until you start eating more than a toddler.

apullum · November 2017

You are going to feel tired if you don't eat more, especially if you're exercising. You're also potentially going to be malnourished, since you don't sound like you're eating enough to meet your body's basic needs. Your posts make me concerned that you could be developing an eating disorder.

Food is not bad. Your body needs food, and it needs at least a minimum number of calories per day. Eat the number of calories that MFP recommends for you, and not less than that number. That calorie goal will lead to weight loss.

estherdragonbat · November 2017

I've just plugged this into the recipe tracker: https://www.kitchentreaty.com/slow-cooker-black-bean-pumpkin-chili/ and came up with 165 calories/serving. (Note that I weighed everything. So if your 2 cups of onion weren't 221 grams, your calories may not align.) Obviously, if you top with cheese, avocado, etc., there will be more calories, too.

You keep saying lower calories, but you aren't giving a number. How many calories do you think you need to eat per day to reach your goal? I'm guessing you are eating way too few calories thinking it's the way to go. You're already experiencing the hunger, but you are also setting yourself up for fatigue, brain fog, fainting, lack of nutrition, and damage to your body.

I understand not wanting to feel hungry - I'm a volume eater. But you need to get your macros (fat, protein, and carbs) and fuel your body. Your body isn't going to burn calories efficiently if it isn't getting enough food to do it's job.

If you share your MFP calorie goal with us and your health/fitness goal, I bet people can help you come up with some meals and snacks that fit your goals. I'm having an awesome italian sausage soup for dinner tonight because it's cold here, and it fits right into my calories to still lose weight.

Im done.
