What Keeps You Fuller Than Oatmeal?
Some breakfast foods, like croissants, are neither rich in satiating protein nor do they have much fiber, both of which are key to keeping you full longer.
Oatmeal is typically known as the optimal breakfast food that offers complex carbs, protein, and dietary fiber. There are other simple options that are equally—if not more—satisfying.
1. Eggs: Two eggs have about 12 grams of protein. By comparison, half a cup of oats, the standard serving for oatmeal, has 7 grams. If you add in 2 ounces of smoked salmon (another 13 grams of protein) to your scrambled eggs, you’ve got a protein-rich combination with healthy fats to keep you satisfied for longer.
