Identifying filling foods for cutting / fat loss
I'm looking into reducing calorie intake for cutting while maintaining the feeling of satiety. How can one identify foods that are filling?

NutritionData.Self.com has a useful "Fullness factor", but I don't see a way to sort by that.

Any ideas or other web sites that may provide this data?

Turns out that NutritionData does have a search by fullness factor:

While I can't provide you with a sortable "fullness factor" database - here's exactly how I would get a list of the foods you're looking for...

First, you need a sortable list - and you can download the USDA nutrient database in excel here: www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=23634
You can begin with sorting all the foods ascending by calories - and you'll quickly realize you can chew through pound after pound of different vegetables & fruits every day (while easily staying well within your calorie limits).

Now, since fiber (http://jn.nutrition.org/content/130/2/272S.short) and proteins (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07315724.2004.10719381#.VRSVZ_nF98M) have been proven to increase satiety...

You could also try sorting by fiber or protein columns or even make a calculated column, like fiber/calories or protein/calories and sort by those columns - to come up with a list of "highly-filling foods" (that only bring a few calories to the table).
