7. I've found adding nuts is the key to satiety for me

Typical dinner for me is a big salad with lots of walnuts. Without the nuts I'd be hungry again quickly, but the good fats in nuts are very satisfying and loaded with health benefits.

Also, if you've ever had properly prepared tofu, tempeh or seitan, it can be very delicious. The key is to marinate with wonderful flavors.

Another favorite meal of mine is baked polenta heaped with black beans and veggies. Very filling and satisfying.
