Hot food on salad? I'll give it a shot. sometime.


My Big Food?:MEAT! well.. any protein. I never noticed this until a dietician told me to try it- apparantly protein gives body/ brain a feeling of satiety- don't know if I spelled that right- But I tried it and it's amazing. Chicken, tofu, eggs, and strangely enough a glass of milk does the trick if the corners of my stomach just aren't full. It's not really that high in calories because a little goes a long way.

wedded -- I agree, protein is a great filler. This is why when I eat, I eat 5-6 meals/day, I always include a protein, either cottage cheese with an apple or a protein drink with veggies, an orange, strawberries, whatever!.. KWIM?

ROFL...For the first time I feel like I eat normal!!! You all eat like I do...lol. I love chili over salad. Tomorrow I'm going to eat my left over chili from today over a big plate of spaghetti squash...yum!!!

I just discovered this awesome recipe for bran muffins and I've been eating those. They are just a little over 100 calories and have around 5 grams of fiber I think...I'll have to look at the recipe and post it here. They are supper filling and unfortunately very addictive.

Wedded - LOL I liked your description of filling up the corners of your stomach. I feel a different fullness from protein then I do from carbs. I do feel more satiated from protein but I initially feel fuller when I carbs. I've found that the best foods for me are the ones that are a combination of carbs and protein.

Ack, you just reminded me that I need to go boil some eggs to take for a snack during breaks in my all-day class tomorrow. Today I just had some clementines, which were yummy, but didn't have a lot of staying power. Eggs and yogurt are the plan for tomorrow.

Artmaker here, lurking generally, but had to chime in. I agree with you all re the need for bulk. I love the idea of putting hot food over greens...will have to try it.

For bulk after lunch...when I am craving something at the low point of my day... my afternoon snack is a huge bag of sliced jicama, celery, and daikon or korean radish, sometimes a few cherry tomatoes. The radish and jicama really satisfy my crunching needs and I like the taste...the celery I eat first since I like it the least...and the high ratio of water content in all of them (at least I think that's true) helps satiate me.
