    More protein helps me.
    Egg White omelets with lots of veggies and Low Fat Popcorn are my go to snacks.

    greek yogurt..
  • Greek yogurt
    'egg whites scrambles with a low fat string cheese and spinach leaves
    Reeses shake (made with chocolate shakeology (www.shakeology.com/fitwit)and PB2 fat free peanut butter (bell plantation,com)
  • If i'm looking for something to make me feel full without using many calories at all I boil a couple cups of water and add a couple chicken broth (bullion) cubes. The warmth of the chicken broth keeps me satisfied between meals and usually one cube only has 5 calories

    Hi!

    I am testing out a new breakfast... My old one used to be crustless spinach quiche which always did the trick in keeping me full...with protein and not carbs!

    New breakfast to mix it up a bit - is steel cut oat breakfast bars that I make from scratch.

    steel cut oats
    wheat germ
    walnuts
    craisins
    peanut butter
    1 egg
    applesauce (to moisten)

    I bake them and cut them into 9 pieces (9x9 pan) I have added them under "Generic-Stell cut oat bars"

    Yummy and filling. And steel cut oats are much lower on the glycemic index than other oatmeal.

    Add ground flax to your oatmeal, yogurt, etc. The fiber really helps keep you feeling full.

    I have two eggs and a slice of double fiber wheat toast (80 cals) almost every morning. Works for me.

    These sound super yum! What measurements of each ingredient do you use?

    I was wondering were you get PB2? I love the butterfinger shake, but reeses souns yummy also.

    Green beans if you like them are filling and really low calorie.

    I came here to suggest 1/2 a cup of beans (I like fat free refried and black best), but since this is a breakfast post, I'll swap that with a little bit of carbs, like some 45 calorie whole wheat bread and some fat free cottage cheese.

    I will definitely add beans to my lunch and dinner. Thanks!
  • In response to "Minadeathclutch"

    if im on a 1500 calorie a day plan, and I eat 500 cals for each meal and im still feeling a little hungry i make myself some chicken broth to keep me full by only going over my calorie limit by 5, in what sense do I need help? In case you didn't read the original post correctly, the user asked for foods or SNACKS that keep you full.
    Jumping to conclusions doesn't help anybody, so please don't assume you know anything about me.

    Silly me, I thought this was a motivational site where individuals help each other, rather than other users being completely ignorant and disrespectful.

  • I do greek yogurt with fresh blueberries. I also do egg beaters and laughing cow light cheese. And sometimes I'll drink an extra cup of skim milk with breakfast to get the extra protein. The more protein I added in my breakfast, the more full I felt throughout the morning. Hope it helps!

    Yogurt, Greek Yogurt, Eggs, Scrambled eggs with cheese, cottage cheese, my glass of milk with chocolate whey protein.

    Generally any source of protein is going to keep you feeling full longer.

    MMm just thinking about these foods is making me hungry. I agree with everyone on here; Greek Yogurt, eggs, milk or soymilk with whey protein, grilled or baked chicken breast, and honestly just drinking lots of water. Lots of water and green tea just helps my stomach feel good no matter how much food is in it.
  • I sometimes eat a peanut butter and banana sandwich for breakfast. They make me so full I have to remind myself to eat later in the day.

    Hi I have found lemon and ginger tea before a meal helps me feel fuller for longer and if I feel peckish in the afternoon or later on at night a can of diet coke really helps. When you read up on the net they do say caffeine in any shape or form suppress Hungary. Hope this helps ........Bev

    Protein definitely fills me up. I have yet been able to eat an entire 6 egg white omelet with a 4 oz chicken breast and spinach in it (no cheese). Lots of hot sauce helps me get more down. Very filling.

    I find raw Almonds to be very satisfying.

    When I am still a bit hungry mid morning or mid afternoon I have a protein shake - 25g protein powder and 200ml unsweetened soy milk - really fills me up and gets me through mornings and afternoons. With the protein powder I have (reflex) that is about 100 calories.

    Also, I make protein balls to snack on in mornings and afternoons:
    85g whites jumbo oat flakes
    2tbs peanut butter
    1 banana
    25g protein powder
    1 tsp vanilla
    25g ground flaxseed

    Mix together well, refrigerate, then roll into balls (if you get 16 out of it, they are 56 calories each).

    Anything high in protein or fiber. I keep all bran bars in my purse, 4 g of fiber per serving. I also boil eggs and keep them in the fridge for a quick protein boost.
