10 Filling Low Calorie Foods
Food #3: Fish
Fish, like eggs, are packed with high quality protein as they too contain numerous amino acids. In addition, fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. One study found a link between omega 3 intake and the feeling of satiety in people who are overweight or obese. In addition, further studies on fish have indicated protein in fish may have a stronger effect on fullness than other sources of protein.
In addition to its high protein and high satiety index, fish is low in calories. Most fish sources, such as cod, flounder, and sole contain only 100 calories per 3 oz cooked portion. Even fattier fish sources such as salmon and mackerel are low calorie. They contain 200 calories per 3 oz serving. This makes fish a great source of nutrition.
