They do, but fat is fat, and is still 9 cal / gram whether it is “good” or not. |
If you are eating a lot and not feeling satisfied its probably because you are not eating high satiety whole foods. Fiber, good fat and protein are your friends. Refined and processed foods, esp high fructose, high sugar, are your enemies.
A lot of cravings can be linked to your gut bacteria. Eat a ton of plants, including fermented products. Feed your good bacteria. Should help. meals: anything that has fiber, adequate fat and protein should do the trick. I personally love a juicy piece of grilled salmon on salad with avocado. I like black bean soup with avocado and greek yogurt; I do a chickpea, salad, roasted veggie bowl with tahini dressing. Turkey burgers on a half a bun (or piece of super grain bread) with avocado and cheese and lots of veggies. Thai coconut curries with brown rice or cauliflower rice. eggs with spinach and mushrooms and feta. |
NY Times Kale Salad with Almonds (sooooooo good) with grilled chicken.
FYI - not all chicken is created equal. I really like Bell and Evans chicken breast from Whole Foods. And this grilled chicken recipe is a winner every time (but better with better chicken!): https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/perfectly-grilled-chicken-breasts.html |
Do you have a good cauliflower rice recipe you can share? that sounds good |
