I am off the rails lately, looking for filling meals

[Anonymous]

Mix some orange marmalade and soy sauce, then spread over salmon and broil. Serve with roasted asparagus or a salad.

Small baked potato topped with Turkey Chilli. I also found Trader Joe's potstickers with veggies cooked in low sodium broth filling.

I also eat a lot of ff plain yogurt (On WW so it's zero points) and add fruit and a tablespoon of oats or hemp seeds based on what points I have available. Yogurt is very filling to me. Cottage cheese, too. Lots of veggies.

This. Scramble the egg with spinach throw in some black beans and then top with a little cheese and hot sauce.

I came here to also say omelettes or scrambles (for any meal of the day). Chili and soups are great too.

Almost all my dinners are a big salad or big bowl of roasted veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, zucchini, etc) plus a protein (chicken, shrimp, tofu, or salmon). Honestly I season everything differently and it never gets boring.

+1 for chili and bonus my kids always eat it.

Roasted eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage. All good just roasted with oil, or with marinara; or a soy/miso; or a tahini/cumin.

My #1 piece of advice is to STOP planning your meal around a protein first and start planning it around the vegetable first. So many American meals are easy to have and enjoy without any produce, but it's much easier to stay on track when you center the produce and let the proteins complement.

DP, I am still ravenous after a large salad without enough protein. 20-30 g of protein at ever meal will kill your appetite. Use protein for snacking too - high protein low sugar yogurts help me.

I never said not to eat protein. I said to stop centering the protein.

NP. I have real no idea what you mean when you say "don't center protein" in the context of your comments. Count me as another one who needs 20-30 g of protein. I love love vegetables and have no problem eating tons of them, but they don't keep you satisfied.

Huge salad with protein. I mean enormous: I make salads that are nearly a whole bag of spinach, half an avocado, and a fried egg, plus a TB of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. It’s just a massive amount of food, but not all that many calories.

So carbs covered in fat and fatty fish?

1g carb = 4 cal
1g protein = 4 cal
1g fat = 9 cal

If OP is looking for filling foods that won’t run up their calorie count, fat is not something to be consumed in such excess

Eat a big salad for every lunch and dinner plus beans or potatoes (hold the butter and sour cream) or brown rice or other whole grain. For breakfast have a big bowl of oatmeal (hold the sugar) plus a big bowl of berries. Snack is an apple and other fruit.

Focus on whole foods, minimally processed.

Steel cut oats for breakfast or supper. I make them with cinnamon and raisins, no sugar. Sometimes I’ll add peanut butter or a few nuts, or a few dark chocolate chips.

For me the key is adequate protein, some fat, and adequate fiber. I make lentils with spinach and sausage a lot; a baked sweet potato topped with a pat of butter and cinnamon or a bit of shredded cheese; stir fried cabbage with pieces of chicken thighs; salad with salmon, avocado and a boiled egg; an omelet made with stir fried broccoli and smoked cheese.

Avocado and salmon have good fats!
