need help, always hungry

lean meat, veggies

I tend to eat foods that are low in calorie density but high in volume. That would be things like potatoes/rice, veggies and water. Fruits are good as well but then you don't need a lot of starches. Make sure you drink 8 cups of water a day and that 3 of those glasses are in the morning. Good luck.

Try eating eggs or egg whites....low in calories but they can keep you full for HOURS.

& fiberplus bars are great for breakfast. They're only like 130 calories, they have 1/3 of your fiber for the day so you stay full, and they're really sweet so they taste like you're indulging when you're not!

I tend to eat loads of veggies and salads (being a vegetarian i dont do meat) scrambled egg is good too (on wholemeal toast - if you need carbs) keeps me full for ages. Porridge is a good breakfast - again keeps hunger at bay till lunch time xx

Fruits, some fiber one products. water, green tea. YES, some days r better then some but ... mind over matter!

If you have only 30 pounds to lose you should set your weight loss goal to 1 pound or 1/2 pound per week. This should give you more calories to work with. It's very hard to lose 2 pounds per week when you are so close to your goal weight.

Foods high in protein and fiber will keep you fuller.

For breakfast I have oat bran, oat meal or steel cut oats. I add a teaspoon of almond butter(or peanut butter), cream cheese and a scoop of whey protein powder. I also have 2 slices of bacon with this. I am full until around 12 noon. I work at a fast passed high stress level job and this tides me over til I can have lunch.
For snacks I may have a boiled egg, almonds, or a piece of cheese.

For me.. and this is just me, you'll want to find exactly what works for you.. but for ME, I don't feel full unless I have some sort of starchy carb like a piece of whole wheat toast, or some beans, or half a cup of brown rice, or a small serving of oatmeal or a banana AND I don't STAY full unless I have a protein and fat with it. For me something that works are chicken breast tacos. A small whole wheat tortilla has 85 calories, 4 ounces of chicken has 200 and 1/2 T olive oil has 60. Just over 300 calories and it keeps me full especially if I add some lettuce and tomatoes to the top. This works for me because it has carbs, protein and fat.

Serves 2: add 1T olive oil to large frying pan, saute half a cup of chopped onion push the onion to the side of the pan, and 4 ounces of thinly sliced lightly salted chicken breasts. brown on all sides. add four cloves of chopped garlic add the following mix of spices: 2t chili powder, 1t garlic powder, 1/2 t paprika, 1t cumin, 1/2 t oregano, 1/2 t cilantro, 1/2 t salt, 1/2 t sugar. sprinkle over the chicken and stir while cooking over medium high heat for 45 seconds or so.. Add 1/4 cup water and continue to stir adding more water as necessary to keep the mixture from drying out too much and scorching. Cook until the chicken is done serve in one small whole wheat flour tortilla. You'll have extra meat. I just roll it up in lettuce and make like a lettuce wrap.

Another go to meal is eggs and toast. Two over easy eggs or poached if you don't want any oil at all and 100 calories worth of 100% whole grain toast (could be one or two slices depending on the bread you use) and a serving of plain yogurt with berries. It's a big meal and keeps me full for hours. It's 400 calories for all this food but for me it leaves me feeling so full and satisfied that I don't need to eat anything until I have a late lunch.

two cups of steamed broccoli before a meal helps. It's like 100 calories and it helps fill me up so that I can be satisfied with a smaller portion of the main course.


Also some people like to eat many smaller meals but for me I don't feel satisfied unless I actually fill myself up at least once in the day. Not full until I'm overstuffed but full until I'm not at all hungry anymore after eating it. I found that by eating a larger meal rather than spreading the calories out over the course of hours, I stayed full and didn't want to snack and I felt satisfied by the meal. I typically eat one large meal, two smaller meals and a snack.
