HEALTHY FILLING FOODS

1 tbsp peanut butter on 1 slice whole wheat bread or 1 serving oatmeal with 1/2 c blueberries (fresh or frozen without sugar), 2 fried eggs and 1 whole wheat english muffin, hard boiled egg and banana, granola bar and apple, cheese stick and apple
Good luck!

I had the same problem, however have found if I eat little and often, I don't get hungry! Colleagues were commenting on how I never stopped eating, but was losing weight! It's all about keeping your blood sugar levels steady ~ insulin is your enemy!!

I try to stay away from wheat, so love porridge for breakfast ~ you can even buy convenient sachet's ~ and use skimmed milk. I would have one of them and some fruit for breakfast ~ mango, a banana or raspberries.
I eat every 2-3 hours (honest!) ~ will snack on fruit, or raw veggies ~ or Nature Valley Granola bars (but only one a day as they have a lot of sugar in them), bite sized flavoured oat bites or rice cakes ~ low GI so it will help keep your blood sugar stable.
Lunch is usually salad or cous cous (and more fruit!) and I'll have a balanced, healthy dinner.
This combined with exercise helped me lose an amazing 3 stones in 6 months last year! And the exercise wasn't over the top: walking, zumba and circuit training.

The only drawback is that I fell off the horse and now can't get back on it!! Now I've lost the momentum, it's SO much harder! But I KNOW when I get back into the way of it, it will work ~ on the days I don't eat like that I end up hungrier and I've usually consumed MORE calories!!

Also yogurt and fruit, or plain greek yogurt with low calorie sweetner and fruit

Egg cups - fill cup cake pans with liners and fill half way with sausage or veggies if you don't eat meat.. Some cheese and bake - when cooled pop then out and freeze - grab 2 out in the morning and heat in the microwave, maybe a slice of toast and you done.. Hot tea in the morning helps fill me too.. I tend to skip breakfast too sometimes just because I don't feel like making something.. These are made and in the freezer - ready to go..

You will find different variations of egg cups in the food diary selections pending if you like whites or whole eggs.

Raisins are a really food snack. A box of sunmaid raising is 43 calories and they are good for sweet cravings. For breakfast weight watchers bagels with light philidelphia are really filling x

I agree with oatmeal. I use weight control oatmeal by quaker. My mornings are hectic so I do simple. I once upon a time didnt eat anything for breakfast either. Try to down a glass of water before you eat also, it does help. You are getting hungry when you eat it because your metabolism has kicked up a notch. Then you can have a small healthy snack a couple hrs later. Fruit, greek yogurt is filling because of the protein. Some of the snack bars are also a good snack just watch the carbs and sugar. Hope this helps.

1/4 cup mashed up berries , 1/3 cup quick cooking oats, 2/3 cup water. Nuke it for 1 min 30 secs. You can add nuts or wheat germ to it but be careful, they have a lot of calories.

I love 1/2 c egg beaters made omelet style with some ff cheese on a flat out - burrito style! I've also added mushrooms, onions and even salsa if you can handle that on eggs. Very filling.

Also oatmeal with 3/4 c blueberries is really good and filling too.

I have porridge oats with a heap of berries, huge dollop of 0% Greek yoghurt, 1/2 cup of skimmed milk and squeeze of honey every morning. I don't eat it as porridge, more like museli . Sometimes I have an omelette sandwich with tomato ketchup, but find my oat breakfast the most satisfying. I have fruit, an apple or satsuma around 11, then a big pot of salad with tuna or salmon at lunchtime, if it's cold a make a big pot of veg n lentil soup to have at lunchtime. For dinner I have a ton of veg, mashed celeriac or steamed squash/ sweet potato with cabbage /cauliflower/broccoli / fine beans/ carrots with roast chicken(no skin) fish a grilled chop, steak . There are lots of good recipes on this site.
Good luck.

1. 1/2 cup of lowfat, reduced sodium cottage cheese and 8 spears of sauteed asparagus (it takes about 5 minutes in a frying pan) - it has no sugar to make you feel hungry quickly...

2, Sauteed vegetables - about a cup or two (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zuchini, etc... - I use a combination of extra virgin olive oil and a little butter to sautee my veges) with 1 fried egg on a low carb pita pocket or 2 slices of toasted reduced calorie bread.

3. Hard boiled egg and reduced sodium cottage cheese

4. 1 slice of reduced calorie bread (Nature's Own Honey Wheat 40 calorie bread) with Smart Balance Peanut Butter a banana and 1 cup of milk

Stay away from the sugary, simple carbohydrate foods - they make you hungry.

Snack on celery or cucumbers or raw peppers. I also snack on grapes and bananas.

I like to put 2 Tbsp. ( 1 serving) of natural peanut butter in a cup of oatmeal, it adds 200 calories and flavors it so I'm not tempted to add anything sugary as I also have the sweet tooth problem.

My Hunger Fighting Staples:

Oatmeal
Plain Greek Yogurt (I mix mine with Splenda and fresh berries)
Low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese
Eggs or egg whites
All-Natural Almonds
Lots and LOTS of water


*These are just some things that work for my body type, and not intended to be all-inclusive. I am trying to stay away from quick-fix sugary items, but I also know that most of the time I am not awake enough in the mornings to make a big deal out of breakfast. Hope this helps :happy:

I agree about Skinny Cow ice cream, seriously good stuff and low on the calories. In Nov and Dec I ate it a lot and it didn't hurt my weight loss what so ever. I noticed Skinny Cow is coming out with new products here and there. The other night I saved some calories so I could eat low fat popcorn when watching tv, that worked out well for me.

My breakfast is simple, protein powder and usually a Special K bar, or an Atkins bar. I never ate breakfast, and I still don't want too. I stick with those two and I'm fine. If I eat a lot of breakfast I will feel sick, not to mention be hungry a lot the rest of the day. So OP I would just try different things, and see what works for you. Personally I found anything with grains gives me more energy. So maybe you could find a cereal with grains.
