Old fashioned oats I mix mine with a banana, peanut butter, and flax seeds. Delicious and filling!0

the more protein you eat throughout the day will help keep you full longer. i add ground chia to most of my food b/c it is a natural way to make you feel full and it also has great health benefits like omegas, antioxidants, fiber, calcium.0

Steel cut oats. I made some in the crockpot last weekend and put almond milk, honey, banana and peanut butter in them. I portioned it out into small containers and ate it for breakfast almost everyday this week. It was about 200 calories for a serving and kept me full for hours.0

I'm seeing some good ideas here. To stay full, I eat as much protein and high-fiber food as possible. A lot of eggs -- scrambled, hard-boiled, etc. Also tuna fish, tofu, and chicken. I find that I enjoy the protein more and I stay fuller if I use a fair bit of salt with it. I know it's not the the healthiest, but I'm just being honest, and I naturally have very low blood pressure (common for short women), so my salt intake is not a health risk in that way. What can I say, salt is delicious, I crave it, and it fills me up. For high-fiber options, I eat lots of apples, celery, and baby carrots. Also, soup with clear broth is low-cal and very filling. I usually try to eat my vegetables first at dinner (often a salad), so that I'm not ravenous when I attack the higher-calorie "main dish."0

hard boiled eggs
oatmeal
.... I was always getting hungry before lunch and this helped me greatly. Now I'm not starving by the time lunch gets here and sometimes not even hungry. I eat lunch anyways, usually some fish, a 6in sub from subway, or a salad or some stir fry veggies w/o any sauces. I will have a fruit for a snack a couple of hours before lunch.0 -
I've also had trouble feeling hungry until I decided to eat a high protein breakfast such as (egg beaters, egg whites, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, string cheese). I am satisfied for a long time. I will have a bread, pasta or rice at lunch but try to stick to a lean protein & veggies for dinner. Basically, I have limited my carbs to one meal. I also have tried to eliminate processed stuff as much as possible. Personally when I keep my blood sugar stable I don't have those desperate cravings. Once in a while we all need to reward ourselves. Good luck to you and your journey.0

Eggs! I eat three tea eggs for lunch (eggs boiled for hours in a broth of tea and spices) with some veggies, and I'm full right through the afternoon, through my evening workout, and right until dinner.0

Lean protein - only thing that works for me ......steak, chicken, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, ham, tuna, sardines, salmon....0

Brown rice with cajun seasoning. I'm good to go after 1/2 cup. Plus it's good for you.
I used to think apples would work, but every time I eat one, I'm hungrier than I was before I ate it.0 -
I eat some bombay mix or scan bread with some philadelphia cheese on it0

oatmeal with a teaspoon of pb.....almonds....greek yogurt0

Greek Yogurt with Granola in it. Very filling and very high in protein!0
-
1 cup of cottage cheese + a slice of toasted bread.... Super fullness with 200-230 calories. Add some smoked turkey slices (20 calories each) and... you will be full for the whole night! (Yes, I find out that protein rich foods keep me full longer)0
