High in volume, dietary fiber, and water, but exceptionally low in caloric density (~25\u201335 kcal per 100g), this half physically expands the stomach to trigger vagal mechanoreceptors that signal fullness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One-Quarter (25%) Lean Protein:<\/strong> Chicken breast, fish, eggs, tofu, tempeh, low-fat paneer, or Greek yogurt. Fulfills the essential amino acid threshold to preserve lean tissue and triggers peptide YY (PYY) and cholecystokinin (CCK) satiety hormones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One-Quarter (25%) Slow-Digesting Complex Carbohydrates:<\/strong> Brown rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, oats, whole wheat roti, or boiled legumes. Provides steady glycogen replenishment without insulin spikes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thumb-Sized Portion (10%) Healthy Essential Fats:<\/strong> Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, ghee, avocado, raw almonds, or chia seeds.
