Filling foods-- post yours!
I find protein like chicken or hardboiled egg works, but I am trying ease off animal protein. I've had success with white beans and tomato with a little proscuitto, and with fruit smoothies that have a whole apple blended in. Pita pizzas made with whole wheat pita are good. Oatmeal is mixed for me. I feel very full at first but it doesn't always last.
What works for you?

Turkey and stuffing(seriously). Spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna. Most cheeses(swiss, extra sharp, not cottage or ch-whizz.). Milkshakes(not very often).

Oatmeal (what I call porridge) works for me, but only if I spruce it up - eg with a spoon of ground linseeds, some sour cream and a few berries. I think without additions the fat is a little low to last me. Steel cut oats definitely have more staying power, but I don’t have time on weekdays. Quick oats (quick microwave oatmeal) is forgotten within the hour.
Vegetarian chilli with tortillas- plenty of beans and veg, spread some avocado on the tortilla. Very filling.

I'm a lifelong vegetarian, and lentils have always been a great filling food for me! Not only are they delicious (and inexpensive), but they can be added to a variety of things. You can make chili with them, use seasoned lentils as a topping/dressing for salads, use them as the filling for a sandwich (i.e. vegan sloppy joe), etc. I primarily use lentils for dense curries (so usually they are combined with vegetables), but I like to throw them in other random dishes to add a bit of bulk. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
If you're looking for hearty vegetables, I enjoy eggplant in dishes as well as a bulking addition. It also has a multitude of uses across many cuisines/dishes, and it holds its texture well (whether fried, stewed, baked, boiled, etc.).![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Hope that helps!

I have a special dish I created. It is grits, topped with two eggs over easy, Nalley's chilli, salsa, grated cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. One bowl, it is filling. I have noticed, for me, I need to use food combinations to keep full. A low carb breakfast leaves me hungry a few hours later. The same breakfast with a couple of slices of toast (I prefer white bread) keeps me going.
On a side note, my family is worn out on my special dish.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

I do not know. I just following the instructions. Us Idahoans are not known for our culinary skill when it comes to grits.
