Here are 5 foods that are considered filling, but actually make you hungry:
1. Cakes and cookies
Cake (cake) and cookies (cookies) often make you want to eat more even though you have just eaten them. This is caused by the low nutritional content in this sweet food.
Quoting Real Simple, a study in 2013 found that foods with a low glycemic index, such as cakes and cookies, can stimulate and aggravate hunger.
2. Potato chips

Potato chips are a very popular snack. Because of its popularity, the saying that just one chip is not enough has emerged.
The phrase is actually a reflection of how potato chips actually make us feel hungrier.
Even though potato chips contain quite a lot of fat, they are often not enough to satisfy hunger.
3. Egg white
Quoting Women’s Health Magazine, egg whites actually have 3-4 grams (g) of protein which should trigger a feeling of fullness.
However, egg whites are very low in calories and almost fat free. This is what makes the feeling of hunger then appear again.
4. Wheat crackers
Like whole wheat bread, whole wheat crackers offer a heart-friendly dose of fiber.
However, you’re mostly getting carbohydrates without much protein or fat so it won’t help much with hunger.
5. Pickles

Sodium can make a person feel thirsty and hungrier. As a result, consuming pickles when you are hungry is not the best choice.
