Healthy Eating Recipes: How To Lose Weight By Eating Clean Foods That Will Keep You Full

For breakfast, you have some coffee. Your mid-morning snack is half a bagel. If you have time for lunch, it's a slice of pizza. Dinner is whatever is in the kitchen, whether it's leftover chips and salsa or leftover delivery food.

Face it. You are still eating like a college student. For 2017, it's time to be more mindful about tackling your hunger if you want to get healthier and even lose some of the extra weight your daily afternoon snack of vending machine junk food has added to your abdomen. Below are 10 healthy recipes and snack suggestions that will keep you full and help you lose weight by eating clean food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Salmon has protein and omega-3s that can help lower your triglycerides and fight hunger. Try to eat it at least twice a week. Start with this sweet potato and salmon dish at the beginning of the week and a few days later try some orange-glazed salmon.

Oatmeal has soluble fiber, protein, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, manganese and iron, making it the perfect breakfast meal. Oatmeal with blueberries and sunflower seeds is a special treat, or try this recipe that calls for dried cherries.

Healthy monounsaturated fats in avocados will help keep you full. Don't write off avocado toast as a nonsense hipster trend. It's delicious, easy and a recipe for hot sauce and avocado toast will hit the spot for weekend brunch. Want to try something more advanced? A recipe with whole-milk yogurt and za'atar, a fragrant herb blend, offers a fresh take on this standard dish.

Beans pack lots of fiber. Eat some homemade roasted red pepper hummus with crudité. Need a big meal? Try a tasty black bean burger with some salad on the side.

Spinach has alpha-lipoic acid, is high in fiber and low in calories. Make a salad with spinach as your base and use this recipe for warm bacon dressing. Want something heartier? Try this sesame shrimp and spinach recipe from the New York Times.
