Healthy Filling Meals

I find meals like sausage and mash and stir fry dishes are really filling and easy to make, and you can make them healthy! Also either baby potatoes/homemade chips or jacket potatoes could be a good idea

Lamb hotpot, shepherds pie, baked potatoes, lasagne. When I was 37 weeks pregnant I ate everything in site!

I just made plain rice cooked on the hob in saltwater and chicken in curry sauce. Then put one spatula of rice on a plate and then a spatula of chicken in curry sauce. Very yummy and filling and has nutritional value in it. I would recommend a variety of chicken dishes as it's very healthy and have a side of salad.

Protein....pasta is carbohydrate ...it will not fill your tummy...it is what your baby want u to eat

Why not try dishes with legumes such as kidney, pinto, cannellini, chickpeas. I batch cook and make a 3 bean chilli that always keeps me satisfied.

Recipe as follows:

3 Bean Chilli – Serves 4

1 tbsp olive oil (or swap for water saute)

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic (or 1 tsp garlic paste)

2 Jalapenos, seeds removed and chopped (keep seeds if heat required)

3 tbsp chilli powder

1 tsp chipolte powder

1 can (15oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can cannellini beans (15oz), drained and rinsed

1 tbsp cocoa powder (or a small piece of dark chocolate, optional

360 ml of water or vegetable stock

Salt and pepper to season

Garnish with onions, sliced, plant-based plain yoghurt and lime wedges.

Method

1. Heat the oil (or water) and saute the onion for 5 minutes until translucent.
2. Add the jalapenos, chilli, chipolte power and cook for a minute, or until fragrant.
3. Add the beans, tomatoes, cocoa powder (or chocolate) and stock (or water) and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Dunno if this would help, i make a spag bol go further by adding porridge oats, fry the mice off as normal then add it in, dosent effect taste, lets you use less mince plus it fills you up

Tempeh sandwich with mayo and tomato. I love it

I am the same, salads just don’t fill me up!!

Try adding some new potatoes to your salad and have it with proteins such as salmon and chicken. x

I use lots of lentils, veg and beans to stretch the meat dishes and they are filling too

Try making a tasty veg soup, add some chilli powder or curry powder to taste.
