The Orgain this morning did a pretty good job of keeping me full, but at around 10am I started getting my normal rumblings and opted to have a snack. I cut up a Pink Lady apple and served it with half a packet of Sun Butter and a handful of Goldfish. Hit the spot for my salty and sweet craving!
I have noticed that I do not feel full if I only eat a cold or room temperature item. This morning when I was packing my lunch I went back the pantry and grabbed a can of Amy’s Vegetable Soup so I would have the hot component to my lunch in addition to the sandwich is made. When Summer rolls around I am able to just eat something that is cold or room temperature. It must be the chilly Minnesota air that makes me want hot food!
I threw together a sandwich on a Bagelthin of some roast chicken and ham with a bit of pepper jack cheese and lettuce. I love a good sandwich and I am careful not to pack them too often, I really don’t want to get sick of them. Since I eat so much soup in the winter I am pretty picky about the flavors but Amy’s Vegetable is one of my favorites. Big veggie chunks and a nice broth flavor and they are reasonably priced with a lot shorter ingredient list than a lot of other brands. A Root Beer Zevia and some peapods and cucumbers for crunch. The Dr. Zevia is the flavor that I really want to try! I normally drink Diet Dr. Pepper but am trying to cut out more artificial sweetners. Ideally I would just quit drinking soda all together but I figured one a day won’t kill me 
Do you need a hot and cold item at a meal to feel full?

I love to add hot components to my meals. Especially in the winter like you said. Today, I had leftovers, so they were heated. But when I normally bring my diced chicken buffalo style, I will heat it sometimes when I need that warm feeling. I also drink hot tea nonstop to keep that warm feeling during the day!

I don’t have to have a hot and a cold item to feel full from a meal…but I do have to have at least 2 parts of the meal. For example, just having a bowl of soup or chili won’t fill me up (even if its huge!). I like to have two or more things to switch up between when I’m eating. The more flavors and things to taste in a meal, the more I feel full.

I got them at Cub, they are decent and I like the “everything” flavor.

I don’t notice the hot or cold item to be full, but like Tina, I need more that one component to my meal. For instance, casseroles don’t really work for me, because it is one item, and only 2 if I add a salad. I like to feel like I’m getting a lot of food.

I like having hot things to warm me up. I can’t always get to a microwave in the middle of the day, so sometimes I have to have cold lunches, which isn’t ideal for me. I usually combat this by getting a hot coffee around 2 or so. For whatever reason it fills me up!
