When you are soooo hungry, and can't get enuff

How do you soothe the angry, hungry beast we all have? I really am a "volume" eater. What do you eat in emergencies to fill you up? Soup just does not do it for me. I eat plenty of protein, fats and carbs, but some days I just can't get past the hunger. I need ideas for low kcal, fill-me-up food.

oatmeal or cottage cheese normally does the trick for me.0

a big volume, low cal option I use is popcorn!0

Lean protein, fibrous veggies, a liter of water after a meal.
I also eat larger meals less frequently, and I skip breakfast. Snacks don't do anything but piss me off.0 -
I eat almonds (raw not honey roasted or etc..) or a handful of grapes. Within 10 mins i am ok. But those are some rough 10 mins sometimes.0

fruits and vegetables, of course. If its baked goods, like banana bread, replace the oil or butter with unsweetened applesauce, and replace each egg with 2 egg whites. Much healthier and lower in fat and calories. I also use 1/2 regular flour and 1/2 whole wheat. Recently, I added 1/4 cup of quick oats to help lesson the moisture from the applesauce.
Make a smoothie with frozen fruit, juice or low fat milk, and low fat yogurt-very filling. A baked sweet potato will really fill you up, too0 -

I think the main thing to think is "am I ACTUALLY hungry or do I just want to keep eating" most likely it is the latter...atleast with me
I will give myself 1 serving of whatever it is and put the rest away!! especially if it is a hot meal, once its cold, it is more of a hassle to reheat0 -
Eat meals high in protein and you can't go wrong. They will make you feel good and sated.0

LOL. I tried the 6 meal a day thing, it was torture.0 -
Egg white with veggies... lots of them. If you are really hungry, they fill you up and are very low in calories.0

When your in a "snacking" mood fat free popcorn makes you feel like you can eat alot for a little "cost"! Also drink alot of water before you eat your snack and you will feel fuller faster. I hate drinking lots of water at one time but it really does work!0

Up my water intake.0
-
cheese. I love it so much.0
-
bump!
my ideas: apples/banana with or w/o peanut butter, popcorn, carrots, edamame0 -
It takes a while for your brain to realize you're satisfied. I find eating a small portion slowly and waiting 15-20 minutes to see if I'm still hungry helpful. I can always eat more if I really want more. If you want to eat more and you recognize that your stomach's saying you're full, then you're eating for some emotional reason ... and you probably want to look into what's motivating your emotional hunger.
Also, I like something with some fat in it for a snack because I find them more satisfying ... a small handful of nuts, some reduced fat cheese are my favorites.0 -
Eat a small healthy snack and then play video games for 10 minutes to get your mind off it... Don't like video games? try solitaire, call a friend, wikipedia...
Make a list of things you can do to distract yourself for 10-15 minutes while the craving goes away... Its just your body's natural way of telling you to eat, it goes away, you just have to wait.0 -
