If you are trying to lose weight, the first
thing you have to consider is whether the food you are eating will keep
you full enough for a while. This way, you wouldn't need to snack so
often. Another thing you would need to consider is whether what you are
eating has a high calorie count. As you might know, the number of
calories in food does not necessarily have to do with portion size -
certain foods contain fewer calories than others (and these are not only
fruit, as you may believe).
Here's a list of the top 8 foods that are
proven to be the most filling, while providing a low-calorie count. The
items are listed in order of the number of calories per 100g of food,
with the last one having the least number of calories.
1. Popcorn
Calories: 375 per 100g
Of course, the healthiest popcorn is not
the one you get at the movie theater - it's the more natural,
air-popped, butter-free one. Because it has quite a large surface area,
and contains a lot of fiber, popcorn will fill you up more than a packet
of potato chips. If you want a filling, quick and healthy snack, this
should be at the top of your list.
Tip: Sprinkle your popcorn with some red pepper before eating - this is
said to help make you feel even fuller.
2. Eggs
Calories: 155 per 100g
Eggs are not only very filling, they're also packed with nutrients,
proteins, and 9 amino acids that are essential for our body. Eating
these for breakfast (including the yolk, which is very nutritious) is
said to be ideal, as they are more filling than a bagel and result in
less calorie intake in the 36 hours after.
Tip: Take a sliced egg with added salt and pepper and sprinkled paprika
for the ultimate filling food snack or breakfast serving.
3. Figs
Calories: 107 per 100g
Feel like eating something sweet that is filling at the same time? Snack
on figs! This fruit is a fantastic source of fiber, which is dense and
filling, meaning that it will keep hunger at bay for longer. It offers
natural sweetness, together with so many other nutrients that complement
a healthy diet.
4. Cottage cheese
Calories: 98 per 100g
Cottage cheese is both delicious and low in fat, making it a perfect
between-meals snack or side snack. It is also very versatile, it can go
well with sweet fruit like strawberries, and also with vegetables like
celery, or nuts and oats. Half a cup of this cheese contains an
impressive 11.7 grams of lean protein and just 4.5 grams of fat!
Tip: Prepare cottage cheese topped with some blueberries, and an
optional spoonful of honey.
5. Potatoes
Calories: 77 per 100g
Although potatoes are often shunned because of their high levels of
starch, they are actually fantastically filling, and are a great source
of vitamins, fiber and other nutrients. Compared to other foods like
whole-wheat bread and brown rice, people used as subjects in a study,
claimed that they felt fuller for longer after eating boiled potatoes.
Tip: Eat them boiled, grilled, or baked, but not fried - and don't
forget to leave the skin on for even more fullness!
6. Greek yogurt 
Calories: 59 per 100g
Greek yogurt is considered the single best food proven for weight loss,
according to Harvard researchers, as people who have tried it said to
have seen very effective results. It is widely preferred over regular
yogurt because it contains less whey, less sugar, and twice as much
protein. Apart from that, Greek yogurt is said to balance blood sugar,
so it can keep your appetite satisfied for longer.
Tip: Add some fibrous fruit to your Greek yogurt such as raspberries,
vegetables such as carrots, or opt for some cereal or almonds.
7. Beans
Calories: 30 per 100g
The most filling food that also has the lowest calorie count must be
watermelon. This juicy and irresistible fruit's content is packed with
water, as well as fiber, which leaves you feeling full for a good
stretch of time. Apart from that, watermelon is also loaded with vitamin
C, and it's delicious - what beats that? Reach out for some slices of
watermelon when hunger strikes for full satiation.
Tip: Snack on 2 cups of diced watermelon to provide yourself with half
the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. You may even want to prepare
one cup combined with some dices of reduced-fat feta cheese and 1
teaspoon of chopped mint, for one satisfying treat.

Calories: Depends on the type of bean:
Baked beans - 155 per 100g
Green peas - 81 per 100g
Green beans - 31 per 100g
Beans are loaded with water, which gives them a heavy consistency and
makes them perfect tummy fillers. What also contributes to this
advantage is their high amounts of fiber and starch, which slow down the
release of sugar into the bloodstream. Beans are also extremely
beneficial for your heart's health, digestive system and cholesterol
control. Get into the habit of adding these to your meals, especially
green beans, which are surprisingly low in calories!
Tip: Use beans for bean soups, or if you're not a fan of this, add them
as a topping to your salad or sandwich.
8. Watermelon
Calories: 30 per 100g
The most filling food that also has the lowest calorie count must be
watermelon. This juicy and irresistible fruit's content is packed with
water, as well as fiber, which leaves you feeling full for a good
