Filling foods for when you’re on a diet?

[sunshineandwinee]

what are your go to’s to help you stay on track.
I tend to go for high protein skyr yoghurt, banana and berries.
celery and tzatziki but I get bored of it quite easily.
poached eggs.

I eat a lot of eggs .
Soup is good, spicy pepper / tomato , cauliflower cheese , broccoli Stilton.
I'm low carbing though, hence all the cheese but you could make a low calorie soup if you're counting calories.

I find baked beans filling and eat them with protein eg a pork steak for dinner tonight.

Your yoghurt and banana thing is sugary... it might fill you up when you eat it, but it has less chance of keeping you full for long than something like meat with eggs or cheese.

For meals I tend to go with lean protein and lots of green veg

For snacks:

• boiled eggs
• beef jerky
• Longley farms full fat cottage cheese (there is no suitable substitute)
• full fat Greek yoghurt (the real stuff not 'Greek style')

If I just want to eat but not really hungry I go with things that take longer to eat and chew like carrot sticks

Eggs, tuna, soups, roasted/mashed veg.

Fage full fat Greek yoghurt.
Boiled eggs.
Whole pot of Butternut squash soup.

Small banana.
Carrots sticks , peppers, celery, apple and humous.
Falafels.
Lean ham or chicken.

Lots of greens and carrots

Sainsburys do a soup it is 430 cals (roughly) it’s red pepper and lentils. It’s 600grams it will fill you

Roast chicken with the skin off.
wholewheat couscous mixed with masses of finely chopped parsley and mint so it's not really carby.

Poached eggs on wholemeal toast

Watermelon

Skyr with frozen blueberries

Carrot and ginger soup made with carrots, celery, leeks or white onions, garlic and ginger, a bit or coriander and cumin, veg stock and a splash of OJ or lemon juice. Just boil them all together and puree.

Peppers, mild chillis etc, puts you off eating too much too.

Try shiritaki noodles- I love them with a sesame sauce or cooked longer in a tomato and veg pasta style sauce. Very low cal and very filling but need plenty of flavour.

eggs, fage yoghurts, feta salad, frozen grapes, carrots and Homous, chickpea and vegetable curries, stir fries with lots of beansprouts with lean meat/prawns, chicken and broccoli with Katsu sauce (mayflower is lighter)

Volume eating vegetables (especially salad & greens)
Cottage cheese, tuna, tofu, egg whites, prawns
Drinking at least 2-3l water
Skyr or protein yoghurts but I prefer greek yoghurt (2 or 5%)

A poached egg on a grilled field mushroom is one of my favourites.

Also hot and spicy lentil soup - lentils, onions, veg stock, dried chilli flakes and lemon juice added at the end. Filling, zingy and has Vitamin C.

Came on to say big mushroom (portobello or field) with an egg on top,(@JulieHoney beat me to it! incredibly filling, add a mound of lightly steamed spinach.

I find these really filling, very satisfying, often struggle to finish the pot.

Bumping

Tuna

Oranges - citrus fruit in general. Partly because peeling it takes such a long time it makes me feel like I am snacking for a lot longer

I find pink lady apples stave off hunger and a binge. I seem to be getting through a lot of them.

I have this problem as I need to lose weight but take medication which gives me increased appetite and weight gain!
