    I stay fuller longer when I eat eggs, cheese and toast or an english muffin for breakfast rather than cereal.

    Protein keeps me full. I eat a few nuts several times per day.

    Vita tops muffins keep me full in between meals. The only store I have found them at is Target in their frozen breakfast food aisle. My favorite ones are the pumpkin or any of the other chocolate varieties.

    If I eat cereal for breakfast I am starving mid morning. If I eat my toast, turkey bacon and egg sandwich I am good till lunch. Protein and water for me.

    I find protein esp when combined with a carb like an apple and walnuts....extra veggies I had collard greens with black- eye peas and I was full for couple hours. Adding salads to dinner helps too

    I drink 16oz of decaf black tea with my breakfast of 4 eggwhites, two slices of light multigrain toast and a handfull of onions in the whites. I stay full from roughly 10am to 2pm for about 150 calories. I literally eat this meal every day. Love my eggwhites! lol

    I started eating Cascadian organic oatmeal cereal for breakfast. It's tasty crunchy oatmeal with about 300 calories for a cup then a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk with a packet of truvia (stevia) is 35 calories. It keeps me pretty full for a while. Or a banana with peanut butter.

    I eat egg whites every single morning, some sort of bread product (recently protein muffins) and coffee. That usually holds me over until lunch. At lunch it's a protein, carb and tons of veggies. Dinner, I'm not very good with though...lol! I eat a ton of Greek yogurt and Carbmaster from Kroger's. I also like berries, they seem to hold me full pretty good.

    Buckwheat waffles. I can hardly finish one and that's even when I'm really hungry.

    Eggs, Apples, Water/Soup (hot water is known to fill people up longer), Yogurt, Oatmeal, etc.

    Basically high fibre or high protein foods will help keep you fuller longer.

    A few times a week I eat something called a Tofu Scramble by Amy's Kitchen for lunch. It is a frozen meal. It has 320 calories and 22g of protein. It is dairy free and gluten free.

    Carbs make you crave carbs. If you start your day off with carbs when they deplete your body your body craves more. Try reducing your carbs slowly until your getting just what your body needs as energy. They have sticks to check it they dont work in everyone. They are for diabetics. You dont want it bright purple where your getting none. I dont reAlly eat carbs, my body doesnt feel good with them, never did before the diet unless it was sarah lee, little debbie or hostess lol. Once i detoxed off the soda for a week, then off the sugar junk food for a week. I felt so much better. I could go one meal a day but i force myself to eat 3 times a day, and i dont eat after 7pm. If your body feels you need to do t starve it, eat something small. My friend is here i think the term here is TOM? So im thinking about hostess more lol. Thats my go to place then. Im praying to struggle through the next few days.

    I keep lots of fresh fruit and veggies prepped and measured into serving sizes so that I can just grab them when ever I need a little something to munch on. You can eat lots of fruits and veggies without going over your calories. I try to always have carbmaster yogurt in several varieties around too. I use those with either fresh or frozen (or a combination of the 2) fruits for smoothies. I also try to make sure that I have fiber and protein with each meal, which seems to help me stay fuller longer. I have a glass/bottle of water with me at all times, and when I think I'm hungry, I drink some water first just to be sure. And I drink lots of water all day long. I don't worry about what time I finish eating each day either. I eat until I am out of calories or full no matter what time.

    A couple things are my go to for when I need to satisfy my craving but not ready to eat an entire meal..
    One, is Arbonne fit chews, they are like tootsie rolls without the bad stuff and seriously work. I sell them, too.
    Another is a new found it is called Protein drink mix, i use the peach mango and u mix 2 scoops of the powder with 16 oz water and it is 70 cal, no sugar, and 15 grams of protein! It works amazingly well! I had it tonight at 6 thinking it would hold me over til 7 for when I would have dinner, but I am still full!! Foods high in fiber and protein are going to keep you feeling fuller longer.

    I'm also searching for those "feel full foods". The foods that seem to work for me for breakfast are oatmeal and eggs. At lunch and dinner, a side (or sometimes as my actual meal/snack) of 1/2 a baked sweet potato keeps me full for hours.

    I hate to admit it, but Weight Watchers Ham Egg and Cheese Scramble (smart ones) tastes great and is only 220 calories.

    Nonfat Greek yogurt! Jam packed with protein and keeps me full for hours. I usually just get it plain and add some cinnamon and stevia to sweeten it a bit.

    I do so much better if I just cut out the snacks and enjoy 3 great well-balanced meals that are between 400-500 calories. It's so much easier than worrying about how to fit in low calorie meals and snacks. I worry less about food and I'm able to focus on the other tasks of the day. Between meals its no calorie drinks like diet soda, tea, or water.

    Eggs, cheese, meat, peanut butter (I love PB & CO. cinnamon raisin swirl PB), almonds and full fat yogurt keep me full for quite a while.

    Baby carrots. I know there seems to be some dispute as to whether or not you should eat too many carrots, but I find a bag of the baby carrots great for a mid morning snack. Feel stuffed afterwards, might be something to do with the high water content. But at least they only have 26cal per 100g :-)
