Fizzy drinks, crisps, and doughnuts might be great snacking options. But because they are made from refined carbohydrates, they get easily digested by your stomach. As a result, you accumulate fats and get hungry really fast. Luckily, there are many other foods that can make you feel fuller even if you only eat a small portion. Not only that, they are considered healthy too!
Here are fit sources of the most filling foods ever! 1. Eggs If you're on a diet, having eggs for breakfast is likely to help you control food cravings throughout the day. Eggs are very high in protein - the nutrient needed to speed up fat loss. 2. Mushy Peas Mushy peas have a high satiety index rating. Satiety index is the system used to measure the food's ability to suppress hunger. Peas are also low in fat and energy density, and high in fibre, protein and carbohydrate. 3. Beans Almost all varieties of beans are rich in protein and fibre. They are also low in fat and sugar, which makes them a perfect option for dieters. 4. Tuna Another excellent source of protein is tuna. Tuna that is tinned in fresh water is fat-free so you can eat as much as you want. Instead of a greasy burger, snack on tuna sandwiches stuffed with lettuce and tomatoes. Yum! 5. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables A large bowl of fruits and vegetables is enough to sustain your energy for long hours without snacks. When uncooked, these foods are very high in fibre so it would take a couple of hours for your stomach to digest them. 6. Yoghurt Whenever possible, choose the plain Greek yogurt. This creamy, fulfilling dairy product is one of the healthiest snacking options available today. Yoghurt contains billions of good bacteria that help in digestion. It also contains protein and other essential nutrients. Aside from yoghurt, low-fat skimmed milk and cheeses are also great hunger quenchers! 7. Lean Meat As long as you keep your consumption low and lean, meat can supply you with essential nutrients (such as protein) that will keep you healthy. Roast or stew the meat rather than deep-frying it. 8. Ramen with Tofu A hot bowl of ramen noodles topped with vegetables and tofu can warm you up during an icy cold morning. You may choose whole wheat noodles because they are more fulfilling and healthier! 9. Unpeeled Potatoes Potatoes have high levels of starch which is harder to digest than simple carbohydrates. When boiled, potatoes absorb more water so it becomes more filling. But don't remove the skin! Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to maximise its health benefits. 10. Wild Rice As compared to white rice, wild rice (also called water oats) is lower in fat, higher in moisture, and has more fibre. It's more delicious too! Wild rice is a complete protein, and also comes with niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, phosphorus and potassium. Comments are closed.
