this is a result of my adaptation to a clean diet, it was more out of convenience because I have a fish shop close by and they grill it for you, so when I was busy at work I could just order a big grilled fish...I like some lean meats like chicken and lean beef but I cant consume more than say 200grams/7oz it is simply too much for me...
my advice to anybody is to man up, eat just fish and veggies for 6 months, you will never want to go back to regular food...your stomach and taste WILL adapt...

One other thing people should remember is that your satiety is triggered by food volume, not the calorie energy contained in the food. That's why eating a pound of "clean food" will be better for you than a pound of ice cream. Broccoli has the volume to fill you up but added very few calories. The ice cream is dense with calories and not filling.
I eat a handful of walnuts every day when I'm getting lean because I think it's important to get my god fats. But it's really not the best food to eat when watching calories. One conservative handful is about 200 calories and it does almost nothing as far as making me feel fuller.
