Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Foods which keep us feeling fuller for longer tend to be foods high in fibre and protein. If you're specifically trying to eat low sugar/low fat foods too, these foods would be good choices:
- Vegetables - especially leafy greens and things such as celery and cucumber which have a high water content.
- Beans and pulse - these are high protein and high fibre, but very low fat.
- Skinless chicken and turkey - high protein, low fat.
- White fish - high protein, low fat.
- Wholegrain foods such as wholegrain rice, wholemeal bread, wholewheat pasta, quinoa and wholegrain cereals such as weetabix/shredded wheat - high in fibre and a good source of protein.
- Low fat greek/natural yogurt and low fat milk - high in protein, low in fat, but these do contain a type of sugar called lactose, but this isn't like the added sugar found in things like cakes and biscuits.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes
