    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.

    Eggs, oatmeal, lean proteins.

    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 good

    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.

    Usually it's a volume thing for me.
    But to name a few specific foods- carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, lettuce, spinach and hard boiled eggs.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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 satiating

    All-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. J/K! Steel-cut oats in the morning for sure (I throw in a big spoon of gelatin powder first, to add protein). Great northern beans cooked down to soup are very filling later in the day, high in protein and potassium.

    I find Greek yogurt and some types of protein bars in particular to be very satiating. In general, some combination of protein and fiber, and sometimes fat, works best for me.

    I always feel so nourished when I eat a mashed banana mixed with plain, whole fat yogurt sprinkled with cinnamon.

    Red meat. A 3 oz serving of filet mignon is usually enough to completely satiate me. Paired with some brussel sprouts or broccoli or asparagus and I can get by for a while.

    I eat a primal diet. I do not eat grains nuts or seeds so for me the most satiating food is fat. I will usually add 2-3 tablespoons to every meal in the form of ghee, butter, lard, beef tallow. For breakfast one of those tablespoons is often coconut oil. And I sometimes add olive or avocado oils. But my body prefers animal fats. This is in addition to whatever fat I mightnuse for cooking. I've lost 25 pounds since I began eating primally. My cholesterol is so low my doctor told me I had less than a 1% risk of a stroke and My blood sugar is no longer in the pre-diabetic range. So this dietary choice is really working well for me
