[QUOTE="Ian7128, post: 1477636, member: 407130"] I'm not sure about the precise relationship between quantity of fat and sense of satisfaction but I still need to prepare fairly large meals. Even though I eat between 1500 and 1800 calories a day, all my meals are large. If I don't have a really big serving I just don't feel like I've eaten properly and then I then I start hunting for snacks. Most of my meals are built on raw vegetables (with broccoli being the main staple) with a lot of meaty things in them. Bulk-wise my salad bowl is mostly full with raw carrot and broccoli then I add toppings which could include lentils, ham or chicken, nuts, olive oil, cheddar or parmesan cheese, artichoke hearts or some form of antipasto. I realise normal people have smaller portions and that at some point in this process I'm going to need to learn portion control but for now that seems like a distant goal. The main thing is I feel satisfied but I'm eating mostly raw vegetables. [/QUOTE]
