Yes, filling foods with low calories, such as chicken, turkey, and tuna.

Protein powder is fantastic if you indeed require higher amounts of protein in your diet and don't want to add calories or take the time to prepare another healthy meal during the day. If you don't require higher amounts, which the general population trying to eat better and lose weight does not, it's really just a waste of money. Also, artifical sweeteners are found in almost all protein powders. Not good.
