What foods can I give/make my daughter that will help fill her up?

Home More advice Kids

My daughter is almost 11yrs old and has an endless appetite. However she does not have the metabolism or figure to have an endless appetite. She's always hungry and always wants something to eat, she's not a fat child but she's a thick girl and she's always had an issue with her weight. She plays outside and does activities. I've taken her to the doctor and she says to just limit what she eats. She even made the comment that she has told other parents that if it becomes an issue to put a lock on the fridge and cupboards. I am not to that point she has definitly put on some pounds, too many pounds over the last two months. She has regular snacks but some of the other things I let her snack on are celery, apples, oranges, pickles. Celery is the one thing I let her eat whenever. Does anyone have any suggestions on any kinds of foods, snacks or meals that are healthy and filling?
