    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.

    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.

    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."

    cream of wheat
    nature's own crunchy granola bars, the new dark chocolate ones are fantastic for my chocolate cravings!
    grape nuts cereal... regular and flakes
    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.

    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    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)
