- chia seeds? My appetite can only accept a spoonful and it would make me feel full for hours
- raw carrot, cucumber, radish, onions, celery
- many cooked vegetables are safe to overeat if salt, sugar and oil is truly limited
- egg white — fat-free, carb-free, low-calorie… and satisfying !
- low-fat milk and yogurt? moderate calorie but luckily my appetite would limit my intake 🙂
- non-fried fish (and lean meat), without fatty additions
- protein smoothie — with fruits + moderate sugar. High water content
- congee — starchy but luckily my appetite would limit my intake 🙂
— fruits:
- apple lovers see https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-apples-affect-weight
- oranges, (green) bananas are all fairly safe.
- grapes — low calorie, but more expensive
Many fruits are probably safe for weight watchers. However,
- green machine? high sugar
- mango — relatively high carb
- banana — relatively high carb

My problem was, after eating lots of high-fiber foods I still felt a craving for starch. I have since reduced the craving with the help of hummus, fancy fruits, meat, egg-white … I think this will be a long struggle as I have been a starch-fed boy.
