Answer #1

You need some more complex carbs and protein to make a meal “stick to your ribs.” Why not add some healthy whole grains and legumes to the mix? Brown rice, barley, lentils, millet, quinoa, etc. Kidney or garbanzo beans are a nice addition to salads that make them more satisfying. Whole grain side dishes can also be good.

Answer #2

I was wondering does something like hummus work as well?

Answer #3

and to fruit salads you can add yougurt(plain fat free if you on a diet) and some nuts.

Answer #4

Thanks! I’m not really on a diet just want to eat healthier or a bit, do you know what sort of nuts are best?

Answer #5

Yep, that would be a good addition. It usually has some fat but it is the healthy kind of fat.

Answer #6

Whatever you eat, drinking water with it or before it will help you become fuller, faster. Also, if you take your time it should fill you up easier.

Answer #7

Especially legumes, more than grains (though some grain is ok, too). Also add your favorite nuts and seeds. Use canned garbanzos to make your own hummus: Blend the beans with a couple handfuls of raw sesame seeds and add lemon juice to thin it to the right consistency. But Janice, how much is “no matter how much”? Are you eating, say, a pound or so of salad every day?

Answer #8

Walnuts and flax or chia seeds are best for Omega 3 oils. But it’s best to eat a variety of nuts and seeds, if you like a lot of different kinds.

Answer #9

you can eat a larger amount of fruits, veg and salad
