Here are foods that I found that satisfies my hunger and help me stay full longer. I found that if I include these foods as a part of my 5 small meals a day, it really helps me and I feel like I am eating all day when I break up my meals into 5 instead of 3 huge meals.
Breakfast - 1 egg, 1 slice whole grain toast (more grains the better), 1/2 cup water melon or cantaloupe or 2 slices lite whole grain bread, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1/2 Grapefruit or 1/4 cup high fiber cereal, 3 tbs low fat granola, 1/2 cup strawberries (Or any of the berry family).
Snack - 1 cup of skim or organic low fat milk and a small a apple/pear or 1 cup cucumber slices (also lowers blood pressure), low fat dressing (vinaigrette), 2 stick low fat string cheese or 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese with celery stick. (try to have low fat milk with every snack, it helps burn fat and keep you full longer), 100% fruit juice (A juicer might be helpful)
Lunch - Veggie burgers or veggie dogs, salad (A MUST), or some protein (it keeps you full longer, any poultry, meat of fish) with 1 cup broccoli,
Dinner - 1 cup vegetable soup(helps before meal, fill you faster and you eat less) or turkey breast or ham.
Snack - Repeat any combination above and be sure to include the low fat milk.
I have been trying these myself and it helps. Be sure to include a protein for breakfast. For lunch be sure to have a protein, a carb, some veggies some fat (almonds ) Give Hunger a knock out punch!
