I’ve found that I have a lot fewer problems with high appetite and cravings during weight loss when I eat a high-protein and high-fiber diet, but since I’m vegetarian, the former can be more difficult to achieve. Something that has been a godsend is black bean and/or edamame pasta, which have basically the same number of calories as regular pasta but 25g protein (vs 8g in regular pasta) and 11g fiber (vs 2.5g). I’m not sure how exactly it’s made but they usually only have one ingredient, the beans themselves. I find that the flavor is mild and the texture is close enough to pasta for me, especially if you put a sauce on it. I’ve gotten it at Aldi but the brand I get most often is the Explore Cuisine brand at Kroger. Highly recommended if you’re looking to up your protein or fiber.
