In this article3 sections
If you feel hungry an hour after eating, the usual culprit is a meal built almost entirely from starch, with very little protein to slow it down.
How much you actually need
A palm-sized serving at each meal is a good working target for most people.
Simple meals that hit it
Eggs with vegetables. Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts. Chicken or fish with a large salad. Lentils or beans with rice and vegetables.
Building the rest of the plate
Fill half with vegetables for volume and fibre, add a modest portion of starch, and finish with a little fat for flavour.
