I've found that there are some foods that fill you up quickly, and in
very small amounts.

They make you feel almost stuffed rather quickly.

Eggs (especially hard boiled!) and bannanas do that to me, as does just
about anything made with cheese.

Anyone else?

I believe a sixteen ounce can of corned beef hash and a fruitcake would

I've read, and I've found it to be true, if you eat a little of something
very fragrant, it will turn off your appetite. Some very garlicky bread
or salad makes me feel like I can't eat another bite.

A couple bites of 81% dark chocolate tastes so rich I'm full up. Maybe
it's the guilty pleasure factor.

Probably the same prinicple. Makes you feel full completely
out of proportion to the amount you ate.

I find if I have some good 72% or higher dark chocolate, maybe one or
two squares, I'm all set for the day. If not, it takes 2 or 3 candy
bars. We no longer run out of good chocolate.

<lol> No, I have to agree with that one! I've always found a good dark
chocolate to be more physically and soul satisfying than milk chocolate!

Salad with just a little ranch dressing and shredded cheddar.

Best thing is, it fills you up with mostly water!

Cottage cheese, too. So I guess I am saying, I agree about cheese.

But Cottage has at least as much protein as fat.

I think it is protein that fills us quickly and sticks around longer
so we don't feel hungry.

The thing to try: have a pastry for breakfast one day and
eggs the next and see how hungry you are by lunch time.

Not low fat or non-fat but I can't stand the flavor or texture of the
fat free cottage cheese.

Eating simple carbs in the mornings spikes your glucose levels and other
hormones. The rapid rise and fall of some levels makes you hungrier by
noon.

Many studies have been done on this and people tend to eat more,
(calorie dense) foods during the rest of the day if you eat a high
sugar/simple carb breakfast.

Eating a high protein breakfast helps people curb their appetite
throughout the entire day.....

Donuts are not a good breakfast food.

Lordy... I love fried oysters! But they run around $9.00 per lb here
shucked. :-( I just cannot afford to serve them with any great frequency.

Definitely eggs, especially omelettes. I like them, but all too often I feel
sick after eating them. I guess I'm a 'dinner' for breakfast kind of
person.

You may be over-cooking them.
I've found that, especially with scrambled eggs/omelets that cooking
them too hard also makes my stomach upset.

It's why I won't eat my dad's cooking when he makes omelets. ;-) The
eggs could bounce off the floor when he cooks them!

I just avoid eggs completely because they make me feel ill, too. It's not
fair; it's one of the world's simplest foods; they're versatile, quick to
cook and easy to use.

Good to see you back posting hon'. :-)

I have the same problem with popcorn! i made a giant bowl last night and was
still hungry.

on the other hand it could be that mr bottomless pit has recovered from his

That's why popcorn (without butter) is considered to be a good diet
food. <G> It's mostly air!

An Ethiopian/Eritrean bread that's like a big sourdough crepe. Usually
made of t'eff flour. The stuff fills me up like crazy.

Nuts. Hot chillies. Rich desserts. Sweet potato. Although, strangely, I
always have room for ordinary potatoes...

Not strange at all; potatoes are not very calorie-dense,
especially as compared to nuts.

I make a curry sometimes that has a bag of cashews in it per
pot of curry. I've done this for large parties and people end
up satisfyingly full. Thousands of added calories by including
the nuts.

Sweet potatoes are also not all that calorie-dense, but I
suspect many people get sick of them after more than a few bites.

Most of the time I'd rather have a baked sweet potato than a baked white
potato.

That's why I made mashed yams this year and no white spuds at all.
I served the yams the same way. Mashed with some shredded jack cheese,
butter and pepper.

No added sweetening! I don't think they need it and neither does dad. I
never could wrap my brain around the serving of yams with marshmallows!
<shudder> I know a lot of people like that dish but just thinking about
it makes my teeth hurt!

My favorite way is baked, plain with butter and a bit of black pepper.

The only time I add any sweetening is when I make candied sweet potatoes.
Ya gotta add sugar for that. :-) Having said that, I add very thinly
sliced whole lemons which adds a really nice note and balances the
sweetness.

No marshmallows!!!
