Once I've eaten all this, it's fairly late in the day and if I'm still hungry I can add non-nutritious stuff then. But it's helping me curb my cravings to go "wait, have I had a vegetable yet today? No reason to have potato chips if I can get a salty, crunchy pickle instead". So, based on my internal rules I noticed that you are probably getting less protein than I am and definitely less veg. I really find both of these help fill me up. I’ve been working (as a small woman) with a few basic rules:
