Water/tea, water-containing foods like melon and soup and smoothies. But I was told by a dietician, "do not drink your calories." Meaning sugary I'm sure, and milk and cream only in moderation. Beverage calories can get out of hand quickly. But liquids get in the nooks and crannies of our food and fill us fully!

Also...
Vegetables just dang near as much as you want!

Whole rolled or steel cut oatmeal, not the instant flavored oatmeal. If you want flavor, add vanilla, brown sugar, or fruit, etc..There are other grains...choose the least processed of barley, quinoa, rice, etc.

Beans

Low fat milk

I have also heard that hunger is often triggered by fluctuations/dips in blood sugar. You can even out your blood sugar by eating carbs and proteins together...will cut down on drops and spikes...bottom line is that if eaten in the right proportions to each other, all your foods will allow you that full feeling. I don't completely understand it, but you can read up on glycemic index of foods.

And the old standby...eat slowly and contientiously so that when your brain tell you to stop, you hear it.

Answer 4

pretzels and crackers are really filling and yummy to snack on
whole wheat bread is good as well
stay away from pops (sugar and they fill your stomach with air)

Answer 5

Protein is the most filling, but it does have some calories. I always try and go for things like an apple with peanut butter, or carrot sticks/baby carrots with hummus, or grapes with cheese (I love mini baby bel). These are healthy snacks that are also very filling.

Answer 6

wheat bread with pb& j its really good

Answer 7

Apples are DEFINITELY the way to go when you're hungry. And, a plus, APPLES KEEP YOU AWAKE LONGER THAN COFFEE DOES! Now, if you put peanut butter on them, it is even more filling, but it adds calories. If you want to get full, eat the apple right off the core. Cutting it into 3 big pieces makes it go by faster, and leaves you hungry. Hope I helped, and chow down!
