    Actually, out of all the foods I’ve eaten, tofu makes me feel consistently the fullest for longest. I don’t know why it works that way, but even meat was never this effective.

    Also, it sounds like whatever salads you’re eating are pretty mid if you can’t feel full after them. Half a bag of iceberg lettuce with dressing and three croutons isn’t a meal.

        Agreed. There’s a particular Chinese seitan dish that I really like but I don’t know what it’s called. It tastes kind of like a sweet curry flavor and is very juicy. Would anyone happen to know what it could be?

      Tofu is freaking bomb for satiation. Can’t say it outperforms meat overall, but as a single food, it equals it, gram for gram. Like, if I’m eating tofu by itself, it gets me just as satisfied as meat by itself.

      I think it ends up not lasting as long sometimes because of the lower fat levels. You have to bring fats to the party for long term satiation for most people. That’s easy to achieve though.

      But yeah, I definitely feel you. And now I want some teriyaki tofu dammit.
