Hello and welcome to the forum jaynejenny ☺

Morning jaynejenny and welcome to the forum. I don't know enough of the effects of steroids to answer your question, but I'm sure somebody on here will. Would it help to drink more water, which can make you feel full? I guess it will be trial and error to find things that fill you up. I have noticed that if I eat scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast it keeps me full until lunch time and almonds also work well to curb my appetite. Sorry I can't be more helpful but I wish you luck in your journey.
