I'm on an 1800 cal per day fat loss plan but still find myself hungry thru out the day so I was trying to think of foods I could eat after my regular meals as 'filler' so I can feel full yet not add anymore calories for the day. Someone recently told me about this cabbage soup recipe that only contains 21 calories per serving (about a cup).
Ingredients
3 cups nonfat beef broth or nonfat vegetable broth or nonfat chicken broth (beef is the best)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups chopped cabbage
1/2 yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1/2 cup green beans
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
salt & pepper
Anyone ever try this out? And also, does the calorie count sound accurate to you? If so, this might be a great way to lose fat and still feel full.

I added brown rice into some of my meals. That fills me up fast for about 100 - 200 calories. It can keep me full for 5-6 hours, but I eat 4 meals per day instead of 6.
I see nothing wrong with adding that soup into your diet.Life is easy when you take personal responsibility

@214, an 1800 calorie diet is an extreme cut. When i cut from 200 to 188lbs in 30 days, I used the 1800 calorie diet I lost 12 pounds in 4 weeks. 3lbs per week. 1lb too much. Try and up your calories a bit, get rid of the fast food or any kind of sugary snacks and replace it with a bag full of veggies. Most people claim they are on a 1800 calorie restricted diet, but eat **** and garbage. Which makes you very hungry.

This recipe is for Broccoli soup and the only ingredient is broccoli. It's a Gordon Ramsey recipe as well:

Like JohnGalt said, 1800 might be a bit low for your size. Have you tried cutting at a higher calorie level? !800 calories is usually the minimum recommended for males.... you don't really want to be there because it doesn't leave you anywhere to go. I would try a more moderate caloric deficit and add increase your cardio rather than trying to find ways to deal with your body telling you it is starving!
