    Part of what’s made it difficult for me to turn vegetarian is I never feel full after a well-made salad. Even things like grain bowls feel a bit lacking sometimes.

      High fiber salads should decrease gastric emptying speed. Grain doesn’t have a lot of fiber or protein to break down so it shouldn’t spend much time in your stomach in the first place. Amylases are generally doing their work in your saliva and small intestine.
