10 Filling Low Calorie Foods
Satiety is the feeling of fullness after we eat a meal. A scale called the satiety index measures this effect. If you have issues with “never feeling full” it may be because you are eating foods with a low satiety index. This means the food you are eating is not providing enough to satisfy hunger.
Focusing on foods that have a higher satiety index may help reduce calories consumed throughout the day and prevent urges to snack in between meals. Foods that are high in protein and fibre tend to be higher on the satiety index. The combination of protein and fibre can help keep one satisfied with only a modest caloric intake.
Therefore, foods such as candy, cookies, ice cream and candy bars may not be the best snack as they lack protein and fibre. Adding high satiety foods to your meals, even ones that are in combination with some of your favorite deserts, could at least help you feel fuller and satisfied without the expense of consuming too many calories.
