Foods that make you feel full

LyssaRonnell · May 2018

What are some foods or meals that help you feel full longer? I am allergic to nuts and fish, so I can't try that.

Full fat dairy, lots of veggies, avocado, meat (such as turkey.), and oats! Shredded wheat and bran also have kept me satisfied because of they rich source of fiber. Beans such as black eye peas and black beans served with brown rice and a source of meat such as pork, chicken, or turkey are my go-tos. Or you can just have the beans with rice and veggies.

Chicken breast, spaghetti squash, cauliflower with light italian dressing or melted cottage cheese in a pan, 0 calorie shirataki noodles, slow-cooker spicy cabbage soup with firm tofu and veggies.

Protein is number one especially when I'm over hungry I'll make a turkey burger or a chicken sandwich I eat all the other healthy foods as well but nothing fills or sustains me like

Eggs, rice, chicken, and beans are the best for me.

I think it's much less difficult than many people think, and way more complex.

We need enough calories every day. We take in, store and expend calories constantly. When we're overweight, more of those calories can come from stored fat, that's how we're designed.

We also need a range of nutrients every day, and the easiest and most pleasurable way to get that, is through a varied and balanced diet.

We are bombarded with rules and norms - we're supposed to be thin, and now even fit, and at the same time, we're heavily encouraged to eat and eat and not move a lot. We're expected to be successful, and everybody hates successful people.

Because food is cheap and easily available, and really nice too, some people use food as comfort, some people end up eating compulsively. Food can easily be perceved as the enemy. So naturally, we're also bombarded with tips and advice, supposedly to alleviate the problems that these conflicts create. One of those supposed problems, is hunger. But it's normal to feel hungry before meals. The right kind and degree of hunger makes a good meal even better.

For me, there is no one food. In general I'm more satisfied if I stick to 3 meals (and a small dessert) and get plenty of fruits and veggies in there. I also avoid snacking between meals, but if I must I choose fruit or a piece of cheese.

I'm super active at work and always feel hungry before my next break but this menu has kept me feeling full between breaks
Fruit/protein smoothie for breakfast. So almond milk, protein powder, and some kind of fruit.
Protein bar that has at least 10g of protein this is my snack I have found good ones under 200 calories
Lunch either cafe steamers, smart made meals or little lunch box of turkey, baby carrots, crackers and hard boiled egg
Dinner whatever I have planned but usually involves some kind of meat.
This keeps me full all day and fits my 1450 calorie budget with some wiggle room. Usually try and hot 60g of protein each day. Hope this helps somewhat or gives you some ideas.

Rice and beans fill me up.

nooshi713 · May 2018

Meat, potatoes, eggs do it for me.

KM0692 · May 2018

Cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, Mexican food

Lentils. Tons of fiber, good amount of protein and especially when I add some heat (hot peppers, hot curry paste, whatever), I feel like I might never eat again.

My breakfast is my favorite and most filling meal. Egg sandwich on Ezekiel bread or English muffin with about 0.5 oz hard cheese like grass fed red cheddar, two turkey sausages and a bit of veganaise. For lunch try adding garbanzo beans and quinoa to a salad.

I think one of the best part in keeping a food diary is comparing a hungrier day with a less hungrier day to look at timing of calories and macros. It allows you to experiment and dial in what works best for you.

nickssweetheart · May 2018

oranges, potatoes, oatmeal, beans and rice, most soups

This varies, depending on the person, really.

I like the suggestion for you to keep a food diary and note what works best for *you*.

I've learned from reading threads over the years that what works to keep someone else feeling full won't necessarily keep *me* feeling full, and that will apply to you as well.

A roll made with oat or wheat bran and then whole wheat flour topped with avocado and two poached eggs :-D I eat this around 08.00 in the morning and this keeps me full until 12.00. This meal contains plenty of protein, fat, and fiber.

Fat for me. All kinds of fat, but mostly mct oil, coconut oil, bacon, nut butters and fatty cuts of fish like salmon.

My friend says fats, but she is on Keto. I am not. What I do is make sure I eat every 2.5 to 3 hours during the day. I will have a 100 calorie snack so I don't get hungry before the next meal. Try to make sure that 100 calories is balanced between carbs and protein. I think that's why somebody invented peanut butter crackers.

Chicken breast, eggs, sausage..it seems to be protein and fatty foods that do it for me. If I eat a bunless burger I'm good for several hours.
