    Protien!!

    veggies are great but you need some protein to combine them with....

    IE: Mealtless veggie chick'n cutlet paired with salad or in a wrap with 100 calorie wrap, veggies, and a light dressing of your choice....I usually go with a little chili oil (less than 5 calories).

    Other sources of protein:

    - faux deli slices
    - greek yogurt
    - almonds
    - light cheese
    - soy milk
    - hard boiled eggs
    - peanut butter/almond butter (in moderation!)

    Other than that, LOTS of veggies and water/green tea

    Fiber and protein together! A few stalks of celery with a tablespoon or two of peanut butter, an apple with 1/4c raw almonds or cashews, 1/4c homemade egg salad with a slice of sprouted wheat bread, etc.

    Two of my friends recently suggested beans/legumes and so I've been making these great tortillas for lunch:

    1/4 avacado, cut up
    1/2 cup black beans (low sodium)
    1/8 cup 2% shredded cheddar cheese
    1 tbsp light sour cream
    2 tbsp Pace thick and chunky medium salsa
    1 flour tortilla

    SO filling, 329 calories. If you wanted less calories you could take out the cheese and that drops 40 calories. I microwave the beans/cheese in the tortilla for 30 seconds, then open it up, add the other stuff, and mix it up. You could also add lettuce and tomato if you wanted more volume.

    Other than that, I love unsalted almonds, greek yogurt, and all things protein right now. I keep cooked shrimp, tilapia fillets, and chicken breast on hand to snack on. Also sweet potatoes are fantastic. Good luck!

    It may just be me, but when I eat broccoli, it fills me up quicker and longer than a salad does, AND it's low in calories.

    I don't know if I have any diet filling foods, but I've noticed that with reducing my portions and having a cold glass of water has really helped me drink more water. Also, I've started to eat slower which has helped me feel more full. Also staying busy. Sometimes (at least for me) it's not always the food but my behavior (how I'm eating it, what I'm doing, etC).

    I agree with the protein and fiber together. I keep a stash of hard boiled eggs in the fridge for snacks. Yogurt also helps a lot. I would go with a piece of whole wheat bread-make sure it has 4 or more grams of fiber and an egg. Sara lee bread is great because one slice only has 45 calories!

    I make a lot of pasta and risotto dishes that are under 300 calories and really big servings! Try using Rozoni Smart Taste Pasta, it's only 170 cals per serving so it's a great base. Risotto is also really filling and you can make a big batch of it to use throughout the week. I just cook a few big dishes and put them in individual serving tupperwares so it's easy to grab and go!
    I also love Breakstone 2% fat snack packs for a quick portable filling snack.

    I have a few of my recipes on here but there's more on these two pages:

    piecesinprogress.tumblr.com/richrisotto

    Hope that helps! :)
