Foods you can eat A LOT of that wont make you gain weight?

[Deleted]

If you eat only celery, you lose weight.* It's like the only food that burns more calories eating it than you actually gain from eating it.


*You also die from malnutrition, BUT STILL.

[Twoflower]

It's a psychological problem.

You should work on what makes you want to eat that much, not on what you eat.

On topic : raw vegetables. Cucumbers. Fruits.

[Kivimetsan]

1 can of tomato, 2-3 potato, 1 zucchini, a bunch of lentils, bit of pumkin, some carrot and whatever else you like... chop them all up, put them in a big pot of boiling water with some stock and salt and stuff, make vegetable soup

If you dont like veges but want to get fit or eat healthy, do this and blend it up at the end. Eat a small bowl of this every hour or two. But beware, you will go to the toilet alot

Drink a couple glasses of water before you eat. You'll eat less.

This. Drinking glasses of water curbs hunger IMMENSELY. Celery is a good snack with very little calories aswell.

You're eating junk which is why you can eat a lot. Junk doesn't fill you up.

Protein fills you up. Fibre will fill you up (eg: triscuits).

RAW almonds are a great snack.

does cyanide count as food?

[Hiricine]

How hungry you are is pretty much 100% contingent upon the volume of food you eat, and how much weight you gain/lose is 100% contingent upon how many calories you eat (as far as diet is concerned). Almost anything you eat has calories, and mostly proportional to volume, but since you don't digest fiber, any of that essentially doesnt count but will still fill you up. Foods high in fiber are pretty much every flavorless vegetable you can think of. Carrots, Lettuce, etc. The one thing you really need to consider with those is any dressing you put on them. Most fat people on diets eat more calories than skinny people simply in dressings and things of that nature than a skinny person eats just eating meat and starches.

Get your blood sugar checked! High blood sugar = hungry all the time no matter how many carbs you eat. Before I was diagnosed with diabetes I was eating all kinds of things, healthy and unhealthy and I was always hungry again a little while later. I was also very skinny so didn't think much of it, until I started losing more weight and was very very thirsty all the time.
You probably don't have diabetes if you're only hungry but it's easy and fast to get checked.

You can also have high blood sugar without having diabetes, and if you eat like 5 slices of bread with jam and sugar you will have high blood sugar for a little while after and that will make you feel hungry again aswell.

Why don't you try eating some real food and not all that processed crap?

Some people say you should snack between meals on raw Almonds.

If you are overweight and hungry one of the worst possible things that you can snack on are almonds. They are extremely calorie dense and easy to get out of control with.

Nope, as much as calorie counting is accepted as conventional wisdom, it is dead wrong.

Chronically-elevated levels of the hormone Insulin is what makes you gain weight, end of story.

Insulin is the hormone that actually puts fat in a fat cell.

Elevating insulin to abnormal levels is caused by too much dietary carbohydrate. Caloric restriction typically works as a coincidence, because inadvertently it would involve restricting carbohydrates too.

That's the entire story.

Insulin also helps shuttle nutrients into your muscle cells. Here's a cool story. Protein also produces a pretty high insulin response. I have seen some high protein meals actually cause just as high or a larger insulin response than some carbs. The only nutrient that has little to no insulin response is fat and it can still be stored as body fat by using other pathways. BRB eating sticks of butter all day because protein also produces an insulin response. Tell every top athlete in the world that Gary taubes and Atkins had it all figured out because if they keep eating carbs they will get fat.

You have to keep in mind that high protein meals are generally a lot more satisfying for hunger control and have the highest thermic affect (take the most calories to digest) compared to other foods. It's not a lot but it adds up. Keep a well balanced diet with carbs if you want to keep biking at a high intensity. If you listen to some of these numbskulls about taking carbs out of your diet then you will be depriving your muscles the stored fuel in them (glycogen) that they need to perform at high intensities successfully.

General rule of thumb to shoot for somewhere around 1-1.5g/lb lbm in protein, .4-.5g/lb fat, and fill in the rest with carbs. Try to stay away from refined carbohydrates as they have usually little to no nutritional value and are usually very calorie dense. An example would be a tiny triple stuffed oreo cookie which can be around 100 calories vs an apple. The apple will provide you with more nutrients and be a lot more filling than a tiny cookie.

I speedbike for 30klm to 100klm per day. And having a "stable" eating plan is out of the question for me. I can't organise food that well enough for myself.

This is your problem right here. Biking for that duration will burn anywhere between 1k-2.5k calories daily. If you're not gaining weight then there's a simple explanation for your hunger, you NEED those calories. It would be absolutely pointless to stuff yourself with worthless food that's calorie free, as that's your main source of energy.

In short, hydrate yourself (dehydration is a large cause of hunger) and make the time to plan actual nutritional meals. Eating foods that are the equivalent of cardboard will neither solve your problem, but likely increase it by depriving yourself of needed calories and stretching your stomach further.

Nutrition and exercise go hand in hand, learn to manage both.

Peapods! Cook them in a pan with a tiny bit of oil and a bunch of seasoning.

[Darsey]

Any green vegy has less then 0 effective calories in it as your body require more energy to process it then it actually has.


Edit: Actually after checking it deeper its just a myth.
