Some foods help you feel full without extra calories. Women who ate half an avocado with lunch felt 22% more satisfied and had a 24% lower desire to snack three hours later. A meta-analysis found people were 31% more satisfied after meals that included pulses such as beans, chickpeas and lentils. People who had a broth-based soup before lunch ate 20% fewer calories at the meal. A high-protein breakfast, such as eggs, reduced hunger before lunch. Apples, nuts, oatmeal and water also help.
