I'm constantly starving.
I measure out my daily portions of beef or chicken to meet the 1.5g per pound of bodyweight and then make up the rest of my calories with rice, pasta, peas, broccoli, or cauliflower.
I try to drink 500ml water with every meal to trick myself into being full but I just end up constantly thinking about food.
try popcorn, plain. It's my go-to snack for cases like this. Also try drinking tea, I drink it black and on an empty stomach it feels great, really helps with appetite suppression
>try popcorn, plain
Popcorn has 10x the calories of cabbage but appreciate the suggestion I guess.
lmao do you snack on cabbage like a rabbit? whatever works for you I guess, but you asked for snack suggestions, if I knew that meant shit like cabbage I'd have suggested eating raw spinach leaves or the skin of an apple, maybe throw in an onion for the meme
I never said snack. What I meant by filler food was things to eat at mealtime which are low in calorie but fill you up.
I just ate 150g beef with 100g peas, two diced tomatoes and 200g rice and drank 750ml water and I’m still hungry.
my apologies, madam, then spinach unironically, also broccoli, sliced carrots, all kinds of salads. My personal low-calorie favorite is a green salad with a bit of vinegar, cucumbers and beets, maybe a hard-boiled egg if you can afford it calorie-wise. You can try abusing nicotine for further appetite suppression, but you'll get addicted
youre probably too low in cal deficit.
when iam about 400 cal below maintanance iam always satiated.
No one ever gets fat off sardines. Eat up.
you can try adding large amounts of fermented foods like sauerkraut and / or pickes to every meal, adding very little calories and helping fill you up.
the answer is beans
rice cakes
hard boiled eggs
oranges
also make sure you have your micros (vit A, omega 3 etc etc. consider vit pills)
you don't need 1.5g per lb of body weight. that is a meme. You need 1.0g/lb at most, but the real, actual, studied number is 0.8g/lb of LEAN body mass.

I'm at 130lbs, how much protein should I eat? (20% BF)
100g+
>20% BF at 130 pounds
I hope you’re a woman
doesnt matter as long as you arent eating like 30g. if you get 80g okay, if you get 120g okay, if you get 100g, okay. trust me, you dont look the way you do because your protein intake isnt scientifically the absolute most optimal in an 24 hour surveillanced laboratory environment. you are not a pro bodybuilder, you are not blasting large amounts of anabolic steroids.
there have been studies showing no benefit on olympic level athletes eating more than 60-70g of protein. now are olympic athletes bodybuilders? no, but like i said neither are you and you dont have elite level lean muscle mass. literally just fricking stop obsessing and micromanaging over completely meaningless and arbitrary things. eat real food, train, sleep. thats about it.
80g would probably be enough. are you trying to lose weight or gain it?
>1.5g per pound of bodyweight
you got memed hard.
1.5 g (up to 1.8 g) per KILOGRAM of bw is what you should aim for. your body cannot process so much protein unironically
god i can't even imagine having to find 300g worth of protein to stuff myself with every day
Lettuce, green tea/coffee, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs. You should also try having cheat days every one-two weeks.
You can also try getting used to the feeling of hunger like me, but I don't recommend it.
1.5 g/lb is almost certainly too much protein unless you've set it as a stretch goal or you're so advanced that you don't need us to help you with your diet
>I try to drink 500ml water with every meal to trick myself into being full but I just end up constantly thinking about food.
Caffeine helps with this. I'm a stingy israelite at heart so I also go places where the food costs money (the food in my fridge is free)
>rice, pasta, peas, broccoli, or cauliflower.
Half that stuff tastes disgusting to me and in your position I'd eat something tasty so I can look forward to the meal if that makes sense
Finally, I don't know what you do all day but I'd just find more things to occupy your head with. If you're thinking about work or personal projects you won't be thinking about food. I'm autistically into paradox games so I'll actually just binge EU4 on a hard cut sometimes, and then it'll be 10 PM and I realize I forgot to eat dinner
How many calories are you eating total? What is your current weight and goal weight? How much exercise are you planning on doing total?
