Eggs and tuna are my secret weapons. (Not together! ; )
You could do though... Tuna nicoise salad! Lots of protein, low calorie, low fat, lots of vits and minerals/nutrition!0 -
I haven't had a problem at all keeping my calories low and not feeling hungry at the end of the day. I eat dinner around 6pm and I'm full after that.
Usual Monday - Friday menu:
Breakfast: 3 egg whites or 1 hard boiled egg
Turkey bacon or turkey sausage
String cheese
Snack: Broccoli
Low cal, low fat dip
Lunch: Chicken breast
Broccoli
Kidney Beans
Snack: Cottage cheese
Dinner: Talipia or Salmon
Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots
Brown rice0 -
2 scrambled eggs and 2 slices of 12 grain bread.....2 glasses of water...will keep you full till lunch or later. Its ok to eat a big breakfast it will also give you more fuel for your workout and energy to keep going...and when you are moving you are not as hungry.0

EGG WHITES! They are about 15 calories a egg and fill me up. I have a container that goes in the microwave that boils two at a time and takes 1 min 30 sec. I have them every morning. Great way to start the day full and it lasts me til lunch.0

I have yogurt and granola w/fresh fruit for breakfast and it keeps me going until lunch. Not a lot of granola though as it is a bit high in calories.0

I eat 5-6 small (<400 Cal) "meals" per day. I like to eat so I make sure I keep up my exercise and that let's me eat more. If i don't exercise I have to compensate by not eating one of my meals, usually in the evening. I like big salads with protein and a small amount of low-fat dressing. Also, agree with the Greek yogurt. really love the stuff!0

- Hard boiled eggs on top of green veggie salads (all veggies, plus 2 eggs, plus a vinaigrette)
- Veggie chili - homemade. All the beans in there fill you right up for very few calories
- Oddly enough, honey nut cheerios when I need a sweet fix.0 -
I just started using the stuff Dr. Oz recommended, PGX Daily - he says his wife's personal trainer suggested it and he sent it to his chemists and found it be safe - it's a natural plant based fiber. I have never been able to stick to a low calorie plan before - I would give up because I was so hungry. But this fiber stuff really helps with my appetite - it reduces sugar cravings and just makes me feel full. Now that I'm taking it before lunch and dinner, I really am able to stick to my calorie goals. Of course, I still try to eat filling foods such as Triscuits, greek yogurt with raspberries, an apple with Laughing Cow light swiss cheese, even milk is filling. I guess I just need help getting used to eating less calories, so if a fiber supplement helps me with that, than Hooray!0
