    Gonna be honest. The most satisfying meal for me is a Portuguese sausage on biscuit with spicy tomato gravy and an egg on top. After that meal I don’t eat for 10 hours. 🤤

    Satisfied and full of volume have never been the same thing for me. I feel betrayed when I eat so much that I am stuffed but then I am hungry 1 hour later because it was Swedish pancakes or watermelon. Then there was that time I was starving and someone gave me a zero calorie aspartame sweetened beverage. So much sadness.

    Foods: cooked whole grains, like quinoa, millet, wild rice, rolled oats, and barley, peanut bubber, milk, cheese, avacado, steak, eggs, black beans and cooked plantains, apples, popcorn...

    Potatoes are super filling for me also protein!
    But sometimes I just wanna snack even though I’m not super hungry. That’s when I eat sugar free jello with light whipped cream on top! 26 calories!
    Or broccoli with cheese sauce! Even a baked potato will fill me up!

    I like the feeling of being satisfied, but dislike a "full" feeling. I find it uncomfortable. Smaller meals eaten more frequently make me feel best vs. a few large meals. I think what helps is including a balance of carbs, fat and protein, and foods with fiber really help me, personally. Snacking on an apple, a mozzarella cheese stick/cottage cheese/Greek yogurt, and a serving of nuts will keep me going for hours. I don't feel heavy and full, but I feel satisfied and refueled.

    For me it would be chicken, vegetables (plenty of them) and sweet potato and maybe a boiled egg. It is actually a filling quick dinner.

    Join a gym or buy a treadmill... seriously. If you can't, find exercise videos on youtube. I'd go nuts if I had to depend on the weather to exercise (and absolutely can't stick to maintenance calories if I'm sedentary either, let alone a deficit).

    But an apple after a meal is always extremely satisfying to me... just got to find the one you like (pink ladies for me, but I like the 'early fuji' or 'suncrisp' from a local orchard as well). But you got to pair it with some protein and/or fat, or a fruit by itself is never going to be as filling.

    carbs, especially good quality bread (fresh baguette, or artisan wholegrain), rice, pasta, potatoes, couscous, bulgur, and all the other grains.

    For snacks: apples, apples and more apples. I eat them with the individually wrapped cheese sticks (for portion control), with peanut butter, on their own or with oatmeal. But not cooked in the oatmeal but raw on the side. Theres something very satisfying about the crunch of a crisp apple. I also eat a lot of eggs. Poached nearly every day for breakfast and have hard boiled eggs on hand in fridge to eat after workouts or throw on salads.

    For me, when I get hungry I make sure to eat a full serving (at 500-600 calories) of lasagna or steak and potatoes and I'm good to go. I make sure not to rely on a salad for a meal on days when my body craves dense calories. Eat more dense calorie rich foods to stay full and satisfied. Eventually the cravings will pass...

    Protein ands high fiber veggies and fruits. Also, nuts and seeds.

    Pretty much, and also beans and lentils and potatoes.

    But more important is not worrying about feeling "full." Focusing on not feeling hungry is sufficient. I think many have messed up ideas of what full is.

    I've found this to be a good 1,2 punch tackling high protein, sufficient fiber:

    (Or any combination of fiber that mixes well with zero fat greek yogurt...Fage is just notoriously the thickest brand out there)

    Regardless of what I eat I always find if I drink a whole pint of cold water before and another one after I've eaten, even if it's just a snack I feel full.

    Meat and veg for me. I'll have something like steak, sweet potato and lots of salad. I always try and bulk my meals out with some low calorie salad or veggies so I feel like I have a big plate full of food.

    There is no food on the gods' green earth that makes me feel satisfied. This is because for me, appetite is entirely mental. What does make me feel satisfied is getting so thoroughly engrossed in something that my brain forgets about suggesting food :)

    (If I'm actually physically in need of food, this tends to manifest in being too tired and indecisive to get any. Helpful, thanks, body)

    I love the Fage 0 and eat close to 2 cups per day.



    However I don't eat until I'm full, pretty much ever. I eat until I'm no longer hungry. Big, big difference to me.

    Complex, fiber rich carbohydrates...beans, lentils, oats, potatoes and sweet potatoes and other tubers, etc.

    I also don't eat until "full"...I hate that feeling. I eat so that I'm just not hungry.
