Healthy Filling Foods That Help You Feel Full Longer

Apples are high in fiber and contain a compound called pectin that helps to slow down digestion and promote a feeling of fullness. They’re also easy to grab on the go. Because an apple takes time to eat, it gives your body a chance to feel full and send the signal to your brain that you don’t need any more food. Grab an apple on your way out the door or give it an upgrade to dinner status with this roasted apple salad.

Chia Seeds

Sometimes the best things come in small packages. A tablespoon of chia seeds may not look like much, but it could keep you full for hours. These little seeds are rich in protein and fiber; they also expand when they get wet, keeping your stomach full. Sprinkle some over your morning yogurt or toss them in a fruit smoothie.
