- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

heavy amounts of fiber, fat and protein works for me and it has to be all three at the same time for it to work. i'm still transitioning into a plant based diet so this is easy to do with things like cheese (fat & protein) and legumes (fiber & protein)
and, speaking of legumes, peanut butter would probably be the closest vegan alternative to cheese, but it is high in calories so it's not great for weight loss; but it does has plenty of fat, fiber & protein so 2 tablespoons max works for me when i feel a hunger pang and you can mix it with things like jelly, or yogurt, or cereal, or honey; etc.
i treat peanut butter in the same way most would treat a protein bar: it's a quick snack that has all of the good things that you need to keep you going until you get your next meal.
also: this only applies to natural peanut butter; as in the kind whose oil separates if you let it sit for too long without stiring/using it. so stay away from the ones that have other oils (especially palm oil); or have sugar added; or are low/non-fat; or anything else besides peanuts and salt.
i love making keto cookies with it along with eggs and honey and they're even more portable that protein bars when i do. i used to keep a stash of them at my work desk before working from home was a thing.
I don't buy peanut butter in the same vein that I can't have chocolate in the house. I can't be trusted.
