Chia seeds

Chia seeds are hailed as a serious superfood, pack a lot of protein and fiber into a small number of calories. Chia seeds contain 138 calories, 4.7 grams of protein, and a whopping 9.8 grams of fiber in a 1-ounce (28-gram) serving.

Chia seeds are particularly high in soluble fiber, which absorbs liquid and swells in your stomach to give you a feeling of fullness. Chia seeds, in fact, may absorb 15 times their weight in water, traveling slowly through your digestive tract to keep you feeling satisfied. Adding two servings of chia seeds to your daily diet will help you control your appetite and reduce your calorie intake. When compared to the control group, those who had yogurt with added chia seeds reported less hunger, a lower desire for sweet foods, and increased feelings of fullness.
