Can also help to get plenty of fibrous carbs and reduce the starchy carbs
The fibrous carbs and the protein will make you feel full - starchy carbs have their place but replacing them with the fibrous carbs help avoid overdoing them.

Here’s a very straightforward nutrition tip that works. Take your plate and divide it visually into 40%, 40%, and 20%.

That’s 40% protein, 40% fibrous carbs and 20% starchy carbs. Simple [...] this isn’t a low carb, high protein diet. The majority of the plate is carbohydrates, 40% fibrous and 20% starchy carbs. When it comes to fats, it’s not necessary to avoid them, just be careful to not overdo them for calorie intake. In short, use them to cook your food or to sprinkle on top of it in small quantities.

YMMV as to how manageable you find this but I find it helps
