Some of us have unlimited hunger, so tracking calories help me realize that if I'm still hungry, it's time to make a big salad or start eating celery sticks (and I'm not joking, that's what I do)

Here's a salad recipe that is very tasty to me that I never tire of eating. I'm happy to pass it on, since it makes not feel like I'm missing out on anything. Ingredients: - Fresh Kale (shredded) or Aragula/Rocket leaves - Fresh onions (or better still the greens of leeks, since onions were making my reflux worse), sliced - Cherry or Roma tomatoes (sliced if necessary) - Canned chunky tuna in vegetable oil (preferably olive oil) with a bit of salt - Red apples (sliced). Could sub Clementines or a bit of dried mangoes (shredded) instead. - Pecan or Cashew nuts (toasted) Method: Just toss together the veggies and fruit, spoon the tuna on top, and sprinkle the nuts on top, that's all. Very crunchy, tasty, and healthy.

  Nice! I have a variation that's a bit lower end in terms of ingredients, preparation and calories, but I also never get tired of it: - Fresh greens (I find Whole Foods prewashed green mixes kind of cheap and convenient for the purpose) - Cherry tomatoes - Avocado - Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper Quick and filling (avocado does the trick) and OK to eat a ton if you're in the mood for a large meal.

    We have a version of it, avocado is just incredible with tomatoes, oil and salt. I do love lemon or lime instead of vinegar when there is avocado, it gives a really nice kick

      So true; and avocado also has the added benefit of filling you up "on the cheap" :) I find balsamic makes all the difference with greens and cherry tomatoes (white vinegar doesn't work as well).

  Thanks, that looks great, I usually make a filler salad (literally meant to stop me from being hungry): lettuce, 2 large tomatoes, 2 spoons of cottage cheese. It's 90 calories total and fills my stomach. It's boring, but that's not the main meal, usually I have something else that can be up to 400 caloriea as the main dish. How do you make sure to always have fresh kale available? It usually lasts one day in the fridge, if I'm lucky

I have very close to unlimited hunger. I couldn't participate in a food contest but I also can eat much more than people who are taller and bigger than me. If I'm hungry during the day I just eat some fruits or almonds.
