Hey 
I am somebody who is ALWAYS hungry, and craves carbs constantly, and I literally eat so much it's crazy
I was wondering if you could post the foods that you find keep you fullest for longest. I have been googling high-satiety foods but want your two cents as well.
Thank you

Meat and eggs 4

I tend to add chia seeds to everything, such as smoothies, protein shakes, and oatmeal. I'm like you -always hungry- so pretty much every bag I own is stocked up with nuts, dried fruit, protein bars and larabars. Nothing keeps me full for long.3

Protein and fat help keep me full! I'm not keto at all, I do love potatoes and fruit! But yes, protein and fat keep me full the longest.
Between my coffee and the oatmeal I had for breakfast this morning, it held me over until lunch! My coffee had 1 tsp. MCT oil and collagen peptides (fat and protein), and I had Bob's Red Mill Apple Oatmeal with some coconut almond butter on it. It was sooo good. 6 -
I like to make a vegetarian curry during Lent, that still does well any time. It's chickpeas, potatoes, and cauliflower in a yellow curry, but I think it's way better in a curry made with garam masala
Also, Greek yogurt with almonds, cottage cheese with nut and a small amount of fruit, or a boiled egg with a serving of cheese.4 -
Protein and fats for me too. I can satisfy myself with a protein bar, yogurt or cottage cheese and some berries or a couple of slices of deli ham or turkey and a slice of cheese. All of these are around 200 calories.3
-
Boiled shredded chicken, diced tomatoes and black beans mixed together. Satisfies and reminds me of comfort carbs.4

Same! I am ALWAYS hungry!! Even when I have just eaten an hour ago! My latest kick is one corn tortilla, 1 TBSP of hummus, a veggie burger and some spinach and cucumbers! I then have a lite mozzarella string cheese with some berries! THIS has been a God sent lunch for only 277 calories! Keep me going while at work! Hope this helps! Stay strong!5

eggs, light mayo for some fat, on whole wheat. I make egg salad with just some salt, pepper and a little pickle juice and mayo. Turkey slices also stays with me. I was introduced to Farro grain. It is very good, calories similar to brown rice. I like it better than brown rice0

Fat is satiating. Getting enough fat is the only real "goal" I set for myself each day. For me, personally, if less than 50% of calories are coming from fat, then I didn't meet my goal. Of course, this does lean more towards "low carb" territory, but I find that this is what works best for me. I rarely snack between meals and routinely practice IF without ever truly being hungry.3

I love this ^^ although my limit is lower. Most people seem to view fat limits as a "not to exceed" amount. I've wondered if we changed fat limits to a minimum goal (like protein), would that help reduce obesity? Fats satiate me too and cut cravings. Also, they're good for my heart (see spoiler article)michelle172415 wrote: »Fat is satiating. Getting enough fat is the only real "goal" I set for myself each day.

One unfortunate consequence of this has been the rise of the reduced-fat diets high in refined carbohydrates, contributing to increased plasma triglycerides, decreased HDL-cholesterol, weight gain, insulin resistance, and a cardiovascular disease risk similar to that of high-saturated fat diets. http://professional.heart.org/professional/ScienceNews/UCM_494505_Trimming-the-Fat-on-Diet-Recommendations-for-a-Healthy-Heart-Emphasis-on-Eating.jspMonounsaturated fat (MUF) foods*- olive canola, peanut, safflower and sesame oils
- avocados, peanut butter, and many nuts and seeds
- canola oil, soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil
- fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring and trout
- walnuts, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, tofu and other forms of soybeans
And what about peanut butter, guacamole, olives, olive-oil-based mayonnaise, almond non-dairy products....

I disagree with everyone saying protein and fat, I can eat the hell out of meat, nuts, avocados, eggs, and not feel full. I can eat whole bag of pistachios and not even blink. And the calorie count for those things are so high, I like those things to pacify my taste buds, but they don't fill me up. For me the single handed most filling food is beans. Black Beans especially. And Veggies too, I mean you can eat so many vegetables without hardly adding to your calorie total. Squash and kale are super filling. You can try to eat an entire butternut squash 300 to 400 cals for instance, but you won't be able to because you'll be full after only half of it.17

Pistachios or flax seed0

I was hungry all the time and it is because I needed to get some carbs in me!!! They are not completely evil. Maybe instead of no carb, you can try carb cycling which is what I do. Also a planned big fat cheat meal may help if you are always hungry. (not a meal, not a day or a lifestyle and make it planned). If you are hungry all the time, your metabolism may be slowing and you could be storing fat. Carbs do help stop this cycle. Not everyone is the same, get to know your body. Another thing if you are not doing this already is to eat every two to three hours. 5 meals are better than 3. You can have breakfast, lunch and dinner with two snacks5

I stay full when I have a balanced plate with good representation from all macros. Healthy fat, some protein, and some carbs. I get hungry all the time and crave carbs, too so I have to make sure I'm eating carbs that will digest a bit slower rather than reaching for sweets or white flour/sugar. That's just what works for me, though.1
-
Bottom line for my body (we're all different): If I have too many carbs, I simply can NOT stop eating! I will eat every 30 min-1 hour if I had my evil way. So I keep my carbs low and coming mostly from veggies, fruit, and VERY limited dairy and eat only protein adequate (ave about 70g of protein daily) and eat low fat. And I stay sustained from meal to meal without issues.1
-
My new snacks are Apples and Bananas. Yay!1

Just started my 4th week of clean eating and I feel the same. I would have thought that eating proteins and veggies would be filling but I'm finding the opposite to be true.
One of my favorite filling breakfasts is eating pancakes made from Arrowhead Mills organic buckwheat pancake mix with coconut oil, coconut sugar, almond milk and an egg. Over the top I put macerated blueberries heated with 1 tbsp. pure maple syrup. So tasty and fills me up.1 -

I agree! I can eat a lot of nuts and they do not satisfy me. Chickpeas are great at keeping me from being hungry for a long time, and also greek yogurt. Homemade protein cookies made from a mix of almond meal+coconut flour instead of regular flour are very filling.4 -
Well, tbh if you ask me I think the idea of "feeling full" is a luxury that people who've never struggled with weight, or needed to lose weight get to have. Sorry to say this, but after you lose weight you will always have feelings every now and then of hunger or not feeling full. That's just the way it is.3

I feel hungry now when I started mfp I was eating the same food as a professional Body Builder
but not the same calories as im trying to loose weight maybe around 1800 calories baked potatoe brocoli chicken breast, or white rice or fish a little sauce somtimes for flavour, oats, and nuts eggs, I felt great after every meal lots of energy felt full and strong these carbs are good,they say bodybuilders dont mess with there food if they get it wrong they dont get paid, I need to get back to this Thanks from Richard0 -
A gram of fat has 9 calories whereas a gram of protein has less. Fat takes longer to digest so it stays with you longer. It's rich and filling. Most mornings I eat protein-rich, 5% fat Fage Total plain yogurt with fresh fruit. I get my protein and rich yogurt without that tang that turns me off from other yogurts! I shake up the fruit to keep it deliciously interesting - today it was rainier cherries and blueberries. Tomorrow it'll be canary melon. I often eat apple bananas with yogurt for that starchy, sweet taste and mouthfeel. It keeps me going until lunch.
I make a huge salad for lunch. I literally use a serving bowl to put it in.2 -
A cup of 2% milk with 20 minutes of willpower. I also remind myself that it is OK to be hungry between meals. I love to eat before bed and don't feel hungry before 10am. So I have a tiny breakfast that lasts me until noon, then enough healthy snacks after dinner to fill in the missing calories. I think it helps me keep the calories low and be really hungry for dinner and the added calories I'll have later. For example right now I've had 3 meals and only 900 calories. I get another 600 to reach 1500 before I start eating exercise calories.
It may help to understand what is triggering the hunger feelings, for example I can't watch the foodie TV shows amymore. I had to break bad habits of a drive-home snack and a gas-up treat. Instead now I have great menus planned and the ingredients already purchased (thanks to platejoy.com) that I WANT to be hungry for when it is time to eat. Before, when dinner was the same-o meh, I'd grab a burger on the way home and still eat the meh.2 -
I found a great recipe w/ Jicama that works for fiber and for filling up. I'm not a fan of cold jicama, but it is a great potato (french fry, hash brown, chip) substitute, peel the jicama and cut into french fry size shapes (or shred for hash browns) and boil for 8 mins, then bake for 30 mins at 400, you can get creative and add garlic and chili flakes in the oven. They don't really crisp up, but eat w/ some of Amy's Brand Ketchup and it's pretty close and satisfying. Other than that, drink 100+ ounces of water a day, definitely helps.1

Grapefruit, watermelon in season, and moving0

I'm on day 6 of conscious totally 100% clean eating - do it most of my diet but not fully like this and I feel great!
Eggs, chicken, broccoli - any high protein foods give me the 'full' feeling2 -
Try eating a peanut butter an banana sandwich if you have not already0

I see a lot of posts talking about eating Lite this and Lite that, please don't. If you are going to eat mayo, for example, and you do not make it yourself, then you must get something like Sir Kensington's or other organic mayo, and you want full fat. Low fat means more sugar which is in my opinion more detrimental than the fat. I do this and my Cholesterol numbers are fantastic except for my triglycerides. My triglycerides are bad because I cannot find a doctor that knows how to treat people without a Thyroid and my Thyroid levels are too low for me to lose weight, in fact, they are causing me to have a 30 lb weight gain. My weight gain is NOT from eating full fat mayo.1

I didn't know a low thyroid could do that to triglycerides? My latest blood work showed very high triglycerides and low thyroid. Doctor upped my thyroid, now I'm wondering if that's what raised my triglycerides.

For filling foods - brown rice, chili beans, and shredded cheese hold me for hours.0
