Who’s the author? Lindsay Wilson is the founder of the online community Filling Meals. Through his simple, accessible recipes and clear principles, he has helped thousands of people rethink their relationship with food, feel nourished and satisfied with the meals they eat, and build habits that feel sustainable rather than restrictive.

What’s it about? Filling Meals is built around a simple but powerful idea: when meals are genuinely satisfying, it becomes easier to eat in a way that supports your goals. Rather than focusing on calorie counting or rigid rules, this book centres on recipes designed to help you feel fuller for longer – making everyday eating feel calmer, more enjoyable, and more manageable.

The book features 100 straightforward recipes made with familiar supermarket ingredients, many of them with air fryer options and all developed to be quick, unfussy and achievable, even if you don’t think of yourself as a confident cook. Alongside delicious recipes, Lindsay introduces a structured yet flexible approach to meal planning that’s all about prioritising filling breakfasts and lunches while keeping evenings relaxed and realistic. The emphasis throughout is on simplicity, consistency, and food that genuinely satisfies.
