How I Stay Full on a Severe Calorie Cut
My choices for food on limited calories come down to a basic question. Do I want 100 grams of fat? Or 200 grams of protein or carbs? Because they have about the same calories, and the protein and carbs are going to fill me up more than the fat. So then it becomes a question of protein or carbs. For me, protein is king. Because it takes energy to digest protein, you get an added benefit of being able to eat 220grams of protein vs 200 grams of carbs for the same calories, which makes it an easy decision for me. For my body, eggs, egg whites, lean meats, using no/low calorie flavorings like mustard, hot sauce, sodium and potassium salts, vinegars and citrus juice for acids.
And I add a lot of bulk with low calorie foods like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots. Thanks to veggies like that, I am never stomach grumbling hungry even on a severe cut.
So low fat, high protein foods, and foods with a lot of bulk and water in them but low calories. And when I do go carbs, I go complex, so lentils, oat meal, whole wheat high fiber breads, etc.
Also, to bulk up meals like lunch and breakfast, for low cost and effort, and because they are friggin delicious, I started adding a lot of apples to my diet. Eating a few apples a day makes me happy, and it's very filling and low in calories, also good fiber.
