Low-Carb Satiety Foods

Satiety foods are foods that keep you feeling full for several hours. Incorporating satiety foods into your diet is a good idea if you're trying to lose weight or cut back on calories because you won't feel the need to snack as frequently. According to the book "Understanding Food," many satiety foods are high in fat and protein and fit quite nicely in a low-carbohydrate diet.

Eggs

Eggs are recommended by the Institute of Food Technologists as a solid satiety food for breakfast. According to a report called "Breakfast Foods and Satiety" released by the agency, eating eggs for breakfast can reduce your calorie intake at lunch and throughout the rest of the day because their protein and fat helps curb your appetite. The USDA says that one large egg contains only 0.39 g of carbohydrates, making it a recommended food for a low-carb diet.

Fish

Fish is a good source of lean protein because most varieties tend to be low in calories and fat. Many varieties of fish, such as tuna and salmon, also contain heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids aid in brain function and can lower your risk of heart disease. The website Women's Health recommends steaming or grilling a portion of hearty, thick fish for ultimate satiety. Most cooked fish is carbohydrate-free, as long as it isn't coated in batter or bread crumbs.

Nuts

A small handful of nuts is usually enough to satisfy a snack craving, and they're easy to grab when you're on the go. A report by the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension says that the fat, protein and fiber in nuts fill you up, and it takes your body several hours to process them. However, nuts can be high in calories, so the FDA recommends that you limit yourself to one 1.5-oz. serving per day. The USDA reports that 1 oz. of whole almonds contains 5.6 g of carbohydrates. An oz. of walnut halves offers 3.89 g of carbohydrates.
