What food or types of foods do you find fill you up and satisfy you the longest? I guess this would be what people used to call "stick with you" foods

All of them! For me, balanced and varied meals, foods from all the food groups, ususally home cooked dinners, is what I prefer, both for taste and for satiety. Food shouldn't just fill my stomach, I want the sensation of being satisfied on a cellular level, new age as that sounds. I'm not worried about staying full - I accept and appreciate hunger before meals. While losing weight, I reduced carbs a bit, now I'm very close to MFP's default macro split.1
-
A mix of foods more than any one food. But I tend to structure my eating pattern around 3 full meals, so they are inherently mixed.0
-
At breakfast: Oatmeal, hands down. For me nothing else comes close.
Lunch and Dinner: Meat, accompanied by a large amount of a green vegetable of choice.11 -
I tend to be drawn to carbs, like oatmeal and potatoes. Potatoes has been comfort food for as long as I can remember5
-
Both potatoes and beans/lentils are extremely filling for me, but I just never consume them alone.8
-
I find if I add sprouts or broccoli to whatever mix I'm eating, I stay full longer.6
-
Baked potatoes. I'm amazed how full I feel after one or two of those babies.5
-
My favorite thing to have for a meal is just some type of meat, a vegetable, and potato. It’s not the most cost effective way to eat though2
-
Oatmeal for breakfast. I add blueberries, flax seed and some walnuts. Keeps me full until lunch. If I eat anything else for breakfast, I am hungry way before lunch. I try not to snack.7
-
salmon & broccoli... not my favorite meal, and I probably only eat it a few times a month, but always filling.1
-
avocado...if I know I'm not going to eat for a long time, that one keeps me feeling full.0
-
Peanut butter makes me happy Until I see how small a serving really is, then I'm sad
But truthfully, once I started paying attention to my macros it was pretty easy to see I prefer a higher-fat diet. My macro split is fairly balanced at 40C/30F/30P but in reality I usually meet or exceed my fat goal, make a concerted effort to hit protein (usually but not always succeeding) and let carbs fill in the rest. Left to my own devices I'd probably eat 35 - 40% fat, but at the expense of protein so I don't.3 -
Heavy grains! I've been on a baked oatmeal kick (instead of stirring it in a pot, just mix the grains and milk in a baking dish with the toppings and throw it in the oven for 30-45 minutes)3
-
Fiber, protein. In that order.0
-
Typically things like legumes, lentils, potatoes, oats, etc...4

Bean-based soups are my go-to if I have started to notice I'm snacking too much between meals. Plus, you can make a big pot in the crockpot and it makes for great work lunches.
If I'm in a hurry after work, I recently discovered that I LOVE deli meat (go to the deli counter and choose a meat that's grass-fed and/or low sodium, and get it fresh cut), Tillamook cheese squares (I'm a fan of the Colby Jack and Medium Cheddar), and cucumber slices. Serving size will depend on your personal needs, but I usually go with 4 oz. of meat, 4 cheese squares, and about a cup of cucumber slices. Lots of protein, good calorie count, and keeps me full until breakfast.2 -
I love boiled eggs in the morning. They always keep me feeling full. And I usually make baked asparagus at night, tossed in a little olive oil and topped with a bit of Parmesan cheese. I could eat that with any protein.3
-
For me it's starchy carbs and fiber. Potatoes and high fiber tortillas with beans or avocado are awesome!2
-
Protein and potatoes together. That seems to keep me the longest3
-
The one food? Oatmeal - Proats, specifically. 40 grams of old fashioned rolled oats, protein powder, almond milk, and some sort of berry will keep me full for hours.4
-
filling would be peanut butter though I don't eat it all that often because it is a trouble area for me. I try to get in green & a protein for a good filling meal, not processed junk.1
-
Eggs, oatmeal, lean proteins.1
-
It depends. Typically I would say protein+fiber... so a protein bar. But sometimes it's high volume that works. Other times it's mental hunger and I need one cookie or a little ice cream bar and I'm good1
-
Protein for me. Eggs, Meat, Cheese etc. Had Gammon ham, fried egg and mushrooms for lunch at 1pm and it is now 6.15 and just starting to feel a bit peckish.0
-
Usually it's a volume thing for me.
But to name a few specific foods- carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, lettuce, spinach and hard boiled eggs.1 -
Raw walnuts, one hard boiled egg and an avocado. For some reason that keeps me full for the whole day until I can eat a big dinner!!2
-
Foods containing the highest of fiber!0
-
If I don't have eggs for breakfast, I stay hungry all day. Weird, but I guess I need that protein boost in the morning. I have found that eating higher fat and lower carb keeps me feeling full and happy. Not LOW carb, but LESS carbs. When my meals are 50% carbs or more, I am hungry all day.1
-
Fiber + Fat combo. I'm definitely in agreement with folks who mentioned baked potatoes. I often do a potato topped with black beans, cheese, and sour cream for dinner, and I'm full for hours.2
-
For me I find protein, fibre and fat in that order.
For specific foods I find cottage cheese, eggs, fish, broccoli, Brussel sprouts and red meat are the most satiating0
